Social media is flooded with memes over a viral newspaper clipping claiming a groom's wedding was cancelled after offending his bride's father.

A meme fest has erupted on social media after a purported newspaper clipping went viral, claiming that a Delhi man's wedding was cancelled because his future father-in-law took offence to his ‘inappropriate’ dance to a Madhuri Dixit hit song.

While HT.com could not verify its authenticity, the man, according to the news clipping, was to be married on January 18.

What does the report claim?

On the wedding day, the man's friends asked him to dance with them after the wedding procession arrived at the venue. Then, the famous ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ song from the 1993 Bollywood film ‘Khalnayak’ was played and, unable to resist, the man began dancing.

However, this did not go down well with the bride's father, who was ‘enraged,’ immediately stopped the ceremony, and cancelled the wedding, the report added.

The father also said his family's values were ‘insulted’ by the groom's actions.

While the bride was left in tears, the groom tried to reason with her father, explaining unsuccessfully that all of it was in ‘good fun.’

The bride's family's insiders said her father maintained his anger long after he cancelled her marriage, even going so far as to forbid any further contact between his daughter and the groom's family.

Social media reacts

The news of the alleged incident quickly went viral on social media platform X. A user commented that the bride's father made the ‘right decision’ or else, he would be forced to watch his son-in-law's dance daily.

“If you play 'Choli Ke Peeche', I'll also dance at my own wedding,” a second user commented.

“Arranged marriages are like surprise exams, you never know what you're going to get," a third commentator posted, while another user said, “It wasn't an arranged marriage, it was an elimination round.”
