Prarthana Krishna clarifies the viral wedding video: 'It was just a photoshoot, she is my best friend'
Popular Malayalam television actress
Prarthana
has broken her silence after a recent video, which appeared to depict a same-sex wedding between her and a female friend, went viral on social media.
The video, which showed the duo performing traditional Hindu wedding rituals, including tying the knot and applying sindoor, sparked widespread speculation and mixed reactions online.
The actress, known for her roles in serials like Koodevide and Meenakshi Kalyanam, clarified that the video was not a real wedding but rather a creative photoshoot done for social media.
"Thanks for the overwhelming response. We went viral instantly.
It was just a shoot, not a real wedding. We also did what actresses from other industries did on Instagram. She is my best friend, happily married, and has a son," Prarthana explained in a follow-up video shared on her official social media account.

The video was initially posted with bold captions that drew attention from netizens. Prarthana wrote, "Not all girls are your toy! Get lost from toxic fake dramatic peoples," while her friend Ansiya shared the clip with the caption "with my pondatti", further fueling speculation.
The visual and thematic presentation of the shoot — set against a temple backdrop with traditional attire — was strikingly realistic, leading many to believe it was a genuine ceremony. The internet quickly picked up on the video, and reactions ranged from supportive messages praising their courage to critical comments questioning their intent.
However, the actresses have now made it clear that the shoot was inspired by similar content trending on social media platforms and was not meant to be interpreted as an actual wedding.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Janhvi Kapoor shared the actual video and explained why she joined the crowd in saying 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. In the video, Janhvi was just seen joining the host, who loudly cheered 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' as the Dahi Handi procession commenced. Janhvi wrote, 'Just for context, full video lol. Unke bolne ke baad nahi bolti toh problem, aur bolo toh bhi video ko kaat ke meme material (laughing face emoji). (If I hadn't said the slogan after him, it would have been a problem, and now that I said it, then cut the video and make it meme material.)'
