Case of missing wedding horse
After they wedding party reached the hotel and began preparing for the groom's baaraat, they made a startling discovery. They were unable to find a horse (ghodi) for the groom to ride during his wedding procession.
Unable to arrange a horse for the groom, his determined groomsmen came up with an unique idea with was cheaper and animal-friendly. "Now, because we don't have a ghodi, we will be making a makeshift ghodi with the groom's car," the groom's brother-in-law is heard saying in the clip.
The groomsmen quickly Google pictures of wedding horses and print them on A4 size sheets on the hotel's printer. "We have printed two side angles of the ghodi and one front angle. Now we are gonna paste these to a car," Agarwal explains.
