Chandigarh, February 18 A video of a wedding in Tarn Taran, Punjab, has gone viral on social media, showing the groom and several guests showering the bride with notes worth crores of rupees, until the dance floor is covered in cash.
The video clip has fueled wild claims online, with some users alleging that a staggering amount of Rs 10 crore was showered during the wedding. However, the owner of the DJ at the event dismissed the social media speculation as a gross exaggeration.
The ceremony, which took place on February 14 in the Patti area, caught the attention of thousands of social media users, as the groom was filmed pulling wads of cash from a bag and tossing them into the air. Several guests joined in the gesture, a common practice at Punjabi weddings, leaving the entire dance floor covered in notes.
Singh, the DJ owner, dismissed the claims of multi-crore showers as false.
"Some people are claiming Rs 8 crore, 10 crore, or Rs 10 lakh on their social media accounts. They are making such claims only to get views," he said.
He added that the total amount of cash involved was actually between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh. The majority of the currency notes were in denominations of Rs 10, although some US dollars were also used, he added.
Singh urged social media account users to refrain from making exaggerated claims while sharing the video clip.
