South Asia‘s weddings are famous for grandeur and eccentric rituals that become the trend in the town. The recent episode of Hyderabad, Sindh province, Pakistan added a new name to this list of extravagant wedding shows. A video went viral where in a plane was flying over the bride‘s house and showering millions of rupees in cash, leaving everyone astonished and creating a firestorm of debate on the net.
Lavish Gesture or Sheer Waste?
The video, which has gone viral across the social media platforms, reports that the groom’s father had hired the airplane as a grand gesture at the bride’s father’s request. As for now, this hasn’t been confirmed, and it has received mixed reviews. Many criticised it as a frivolous waste of money. One user said, “This money could have been better spent on helping the underprivileged.” For others, however, a silver lining was found in the humour, one quipping “The bride’s neighbours must be the happiest people right now.”
