Taxing moments caused by traffic bottlenecks, however, turned out to be memorable for a groom who opted to walk through the jam-packed road to reach his ‘baarat’ procession. A video of the incident has gone viral and racked up over two million views.
In the viral Instagram post, the groom, dressed in a sherwani, was seen making his way through a busy stretch on foot, trying to reach his own wedding procession after his family seemed to have left without him.
Sharing the video, @shourrya23 wrote, “You’re in your 30s, it’s your first and last shot at getting married and the traffic to your venue is so bad you start wondering if the universe is trying to tell you, “Bro, stay single it’s safer!”

“Hehehehe baraat taught the importance of punctuality before tying the knot to be proactive after marriage about reaching and arriving on time,” a third user reacted. “Are you sure you are not running away from the wedding,” another user reacted.
