This couple’s shaadi video got them immense trolls
Weddings hold a special place in our culture, like any other, and is a time of great celebration that so many people look forward too (hopefully hehe). There is love in the air, old memories mingling with newer ones and a perfect balance of anxiety mixed with excitement.
While scrolling through my Instagram feed, I came across a couple celebrating their marital union in a beautiful way with a sweet shaadi video
The video was endearing and I shared it with my friends to show them what I planned to do during my wedding photo shoot. Since I was an overexcited ball of joy, I decided to drop a comment to acknowledge how cute this video was, while also gushing over how beautiful the bride was.
To my utter disappointment, the comments section of the shaadi video left me flustered
Maybe it was my naivety to the internet behavior of certain individuals. Or maybe I missed out on something, so I decided to rewatch the video but found nothing. I couldn’t figure out what had triggered this person to an extent that they decided to spew so much hate.
Sadly, other comments were no different than the one aforementioned
I was still utterly confused. What was besharam in a couple dancing during their photo shoot? Was I still leaving out any detail? “Maslah kahan hai? Kya hua hai?” were the questions I kept asking myself.
I assume some commenters realized that the groom was maybe feeling “left out” and dragged him into the hate comments as well
Just because the groom decided to enjoy his wedding and, “sadly”, did not comply with the norms these haters had in mind, he suddenly deserved all of this hate.
As long as he is minding his own business and is not being judgmental over a stranger’s post for no good reason, I wouldn’t mind it agar wo hero bann bhe raha hai tou.
The misogyny dripping from the shaadi video absolutely shocked me
Talking to MangoBaaz, Sara deplored that it was sad to see how people were spewing so much hate on an occasion which was so dear and special to them.
“It’s sad to see the kind of hatred people have for the other and on especially their special day/moments. I don’t understand why are they so hypocrites? Not that no one dances on desi weddings. And I”m sure a lot of people don’t know that this wasn’t even planned or prepped up, it was so spontaneous that Irfan (their photographer) played this song and in between the shoot we started enjoying ourselves. We didn’t do it for the video as we weren’t even aware of it! Damn I’m sure I have a lot to say but sometimes I feel it’s not worth it.”
Imagine having such cute spontaneous moments with your significant other on your big day being mocked and scrutinized by strangers all over social media.Â
Sara could not understand where the issue was, and neither could I. What was problematic with the entire situation that people could call them besharam and chichoray? Just for the sake of argument, I showed the video to my parents who tend to be disapproving of Mehendi dances thinking them to be unnecessary, and they loved the video themselves. Which brought me back to my original thought, masla kya hay yaar?
“We fly all the way to Pakistan for our big day, maybe that’s what went wrong or we should been just a sharmila couple to make others happy, “Sara said.
It’s 2018 and I am sad to see that women are still bringing women down. Let us know what you think in the comments section.
Congrats to the couple on their wedding.
