In a separate news, an AI-generated video, showing a couple getting married in the middle of the infamous Silk Board junction, Bengaluru has taken social media by storm. The 20-second reel, widely shared on Instagram, appears to show a bride and groom performing wedding rituals right on the busy road as vehicles pile up on both sides.

In the clip, the groom, dressed in a cream sherwani, is seen placing a garland around the bride while an elderly priest sits crossed-legged on the road, seemingly chanting mantras.
