In many Hindu marriages, brides touch their husbands’ feet after the saat pheras. Many people today believe the wedding ritual, which has been practiced since ancient times, to be misogynistic. While many couples want to skip this wedding tradition on their special day, others choose to follow it.
A video has surfaced online showing a groom and bride stroking each other’s feet to show mutual respect. An Instagram user named Piush Avchar shared the footage.
After the wedding ceremonies have been performed, the newlywed bride and groom are seen standing in front of each other. The bride bows down to place her hand on the groom’s feet, but he declines. Instead, he knelt and began to stroke his wife’s feet. The astonished bride recoils.
Here’s the link to the viral video:
Without a doubt, the video has gone viral. It has received over 2 million likes and has been seen over 34.5 million times.
“Tujme rab dikhta hai yara… ur my universe jana,” one user wrote. “Kya baat hai,” wrote another. A third user added, “You two are very adorable. Best wishes for the future.” “GBU good married life,” said another.
