Viral ‘singles ko paani pilao’ campaign steals the show
Amidst the concert’s fervour, one initiative in particular stole social media’s attention. Volunteers from Jeevansathi.com, a matrimonial website, were spotted distributing bottled water to single attendees outside the venue. Dressed in white T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase “Singles Ko Paani Pilao Yojana”, the volunteers handed out bottles printed with a humorous message. The message read, “Jeevansathi pe aa gaye hote toh aaj ye bottle nahi uska haath pakda hota,” loosely translating to, “Had you joined Jeevansathi, you’d be holding hands instead of this bottle.” Photos of the campaign quickly went viral, sparking a mix of amusement and appreciation online.
