Weddings are considered a “once-in-a-lifetime” event, and many go overboard to make the occasion unforgettable. This trend has increasingly become a statement of fashion in recent years. In a bid to create a memorable moment for his son, a man from Uttar Pradesh took the wedding celebration to a new level by hiring 20 Russian dancers for the baraat. A video showcasing this extravagant performance quickly went viral on social media.
The video featured girls dancing in glittering golden dresses moving in a rhythmic dance around a red shiny roofless car likely having the groom inside. The baraat was magnificently picturesque from every shot.

The viral clip received mixed reactions. Some netizens criticized it as disrespectful to Indian traditions, with one commenting, “The vulgarity of nouveau riche India.”. UGH UGH UGH.” Others cracked jokes, including a comment about alimony, saying, “Monthly alimony will be 10 lakh.” A few sympathized with the bride and her father, remarking, “Rip to bride her dad should have sent the barat back.” One user humorously noted, “Now the roles are reversed, India is giving jobs to Russian immigrants.”
