Weddings in South Asia have long been known for their grandiosity and elaborate customs, often giving rise to peculiar trends. From a wedding car adorned with cauliflowers and leafy greens in India to welcoming couples on bullock carts and unusual post-wedding tasks, these events often go viral for their uniqueness. The latest addition to this trend comes from Hyderabad, a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan, where a groom’s father took extravagance to new heights—quite literally.
In a viral video making rounds on social media, a plane can be seen flying over the bride’s house, dropping millions of rupees in cash. The incident has left the internet both bewildered and amused. Some have criticised the wasteful display of wealth, while others have taken a humorous perspective. “The groom’s father rented a plane for his son’s wedding and dropped millions of rupees on the bride’s house. Now it seems the groom will continue to pay off his father’s debt for the rest of his life,” joked one user on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The caption accompanying the video shared on social media read, “The bride’s father’s request… The groom’s father rented a plane for his son’s wedding and dropped millions of rupees on the bride’s house.” While the authenticity of the bride’s father’s involvement remains unverified, the spectacle has undoubtedly sparked a debate on social platforms.
