Women across the country celebrated Karwa Chauth, a festival observed for the long life of their husbands.
However, in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, a man observed the fast for his friend, drawing attention and surprise. Dressed in a bridal lehenga and adorned with makeup, he arrived at the market with his friend, leaving onlookers astonished. A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
The scene unfolded Friday evening in the city’s Sadar Bazaar, where a young man, Vinod Sharma, was seen sitting on a bike dressed like a bride. People initially mistook him for one until they realised he was observing Karwa Chauth for his close friend, Harish Sharma.
