Desi weddings are always a grand affair. The gala ceremonies are full of colour and energetic performances from guests, dancers and also the bride and groom.
Never short of drama, big fat Indian weddings Sometimes go over-the-top to create epic moments of laughter.
In most Indian weddings, the most awaited and celebrated part of the event is the procession, which is incomplete without Bollywood songs and a lot of dancing.
But what if the procession takes place on a busy street thousands of miles away in a foreign country? Can the same pomp and gaiety be experienced there as well?
One Indian wedding party was filmed dancing to hit Bollywood tracks on a busy New York City street along with their American friends. Dressed in traditional attire, the Indian-American wedding groove across Broadway.
A footage of the grand procession, shared on Instagram by user Suraj Patel, shows a large crowd dancing to Bollywood songs. Most of the men were wearing pink turbans.
The post was captioned: “My heart is so full, for my family to have all been here for such an incredible occasion for my brother’s wedding, so much love and energy on the streets of NYC.”
While the clip has collected more than 11k views on Instagram, it has also irked some users who said the procession caused inconvenience to the public.
A user wrote, “Is it anything to proud of???”
“Meanwhile the patient waiting in an ambulance, the kid being late for exams and people being late to work Must feel good to encroach public property and deny equal access to all. Always need that special treatment by pulling the string. Classic” wrote another.
“Stop this nonsense. You are destroying the image of Indians collectively. Have you not heard the saying “Be a Roman in Rome” . If you are so much interested in celebrating a wedding- the INDIAN WAY, Just come to India n do it. Why create such public nuisance!!” wrote another.
What do you have to say about such wedding celebrations?
