Wedding Turns Into Gaming Arena As Newlyweds Battle It Out With PlayStation
The video shows newlyweds smiling and clearly enjoying the moment. The guests behind them are equally engaged.
Weddings today are becoming increasingly personal and unique, with couples finding creative ways to infuse their personalities into their big day. One recent viral video capturing hearts online does just that. It features a bride, a groom, and their shared love for video games.
The clip, shared on Instagram, shows the bride and groom seated in a wedding hall, dressed in traditional outfits. Both of them are seen holding PlayStation controllers and facing a large projector screen. Guests also watch the screen closely. But here's the twist. Instead of the usual videos played at weddings, like pre-wedding shoots, the couple is shown playing a live game in front of everyone.
A Gaming Battle
The screen displays a PlayStation game that they are playing together at the venue. The video shows the newlyweds smiling and clearly enjoying the moment. The guests behind them are equally engaged.
This change from the usual wedding schedule has caught many by surprise. The scene is set like any regular wedding, but the game adds something unexpected. Their happiness during the game stands out especially as they play dressed in full wedding attire.
Viral Video Triggers All Kinds Of Reactions
Ever since the footage appeared online, people have had a lot to say about it, with some viewers appreciating the moment.
A user commented, 'Pretty wholesome."
Another said, 'Winner stays on," while someone else expressed, 'That's a first. Nice one."
But The Response Hasn't Been The Same From Everyone.
Criticising the moment, a person wrote, 'What nonsense! How is this now becoming the norm? You've paid a lot of money for the event, probably invited people from all over to attend, to watch you play? I get there's an element of bride versus groom, etc, but why do it in this manner? Why not do it amongst your closest family/ friends when you're at home? Why at the venue? It amazes me to see this kind of stuff."
An individual called it 'Cringe behaviour," while a viewer said, 'People will do anything for likes."
Another Couple, Another Twist
A few weeks back, another unique wedding moment, which was centred around fitness, went viral. In the middle of their wedding rituals, the groom challenged the bride to a round of push-ups. She accepted right away, and the two dropped to the floor in their traditional outfits and did push-ups as guests watched and cheered.

Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 4: Janhvi Kapoor's debut made three times as much as Tripti Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi's sequel in the same time frame
Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 4: Despite receiving good reviews from critics, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's new film, Dhadak 2, is failing to maintain momentum at the box office. After an underwhelming opening on Friday, the film saw a minor increase in collections over the weekend. However, it failed to pass the Monday litmus test, dropping by over 66 percent. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 3.5 crore on Friday and witnessed a 7% and 10% increase on Saturday and Sunday, respectively — earning Rs 3.75 crore and Rs 4.15 crore. On Monday, the film saw a steep fall of 66%, earning only Rs 1.4 crore. This brings Dhadak 2's total domestic collection to Rs 12.8 crore. On Monday, the film registered a very low 14.26% Hindi occupancy. Major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and the NCR — which also have the maximum number of screens — recorded low occupancy of around 15%. Dhadak 2 was released in theatres alongside Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's Son of Sardaar 2. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has managed to perform decently and has earned Rs 27.25 crore within four days of release — more than double the Rs 12.8 crore earned by Dhadak 2 in the same time frame. Co-produced by Karan Johar, Dhadak 2 is the spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak, which marked the Bollywood debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The Siddhant and Triptii-starrer has lagged behind its predecessor. Within four days of its release, Dhadak had managed to mint Rs 39.19 crore — three times the amount Dhadak 2 has earned in the same duration. Mohit Suri's surprise blockbuster Saiyaara, now in its third weekend, is still managing to give stiff competition to new releases. On its third Monday, Saiyaara earned Rs 2.5 crore — higher than Dhadak 2's Monday figure of Rs 1.4 crore. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently took to Instagram to hail the film. He compared it to the cinema created by stalwarts like Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt, Yash Chopra, and others, calling it 'a punch in the gut.' A part of his post read, 'The film captures the conversation that we avoid on a day to day basis. This is what mainstream cinema was meant to be, and this is what great filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, Yash Chopra and so many used to do. We forgot to make mainstream films of social relevance. They got relegated to independent art house cinema.'
