Mumbai's Iconic Taj Hotel Was Built By…‘Aurangzeb? No, Shah Jahan. He Even Cut Hands'
The first person who undertook the quiz told the digital creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. Who built Mumbai's 120-year-old Taj Hotel? That was the question asked by a digital creator to people in the City of Dreams. But little did he know that the video, made in the format of a fun quiz, would blow up into a viral meme, all thanks to the lack of general knowledge and history among the younger generation. In the clip, posted on Instagram, the creator asked some passersby to guess the person who built the state-of-the-art, five-star marvel, only to receive some of the most impossible answers. The first person who undertook the quiz told the creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel. The next person gave a more absurd answer. As per the third and last individual, the Taj Hotel was built by Shah Jahan. All of the answers were wrong. Now for the correct answer: Mumbai's Taj Hotel was built by industrialist Jamsetji Tata. It opened its doors to tourists in 1903. The side note read, 'Taj Hotels Quiz Chaos: From Aurangzeb to Shah Jahan. A fun and bizarre street quiz moment where one guesses Aurangzeb. This mix of overconfidence and wild guesses had everyone laughing. And yes—Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in Agra (not Mumbai!), and no, did not build it. Just a reminder: Confidence ≠ correctness. Social Media Users React The post was flooded with reactions. 'Scripted or not, you are good at roasting Gen Z," lauded a user. 'Being a part of the Tata Group, I can't decide whether to laugh or get angry at them," read an honest comment. 'JRD TATA must be very sad today," noted one person playfully. 'Aurangzeb ne foundation work kia, Shah Jahan mei walls and pillars dala nei paint and interiors karwaya. (Aurangzeb did the foundation work, Shah Jahan built the walls and pillars got the painting and interiors done)," wrote another humorously. 'This has to be scripted!! Please, please, please," hoped an individual. 'Aare itna confidence? Kaise? (So much confidence? How?)" wondered if someone else. 'Welcome to the bright generation of INDIA," read a sarcastic remark.

Not your friend's wedding, not your family's, just a random twist is, you don't know the couple. You weren't invited. You didn't even try to sneak in (remember 3 Idiots?). You actually bought a ticket to attend someone's big you read that right. In a world where Gen Z is busy dancing in fake baraats at staged weddings, there's another trend picking up: attending real weddings as a paid guest. No relation to the bride or groom, no emotional ties, just an experience you pay for, like a concert or a food festival. It's not about crashing a wedding for free food. It's a planned experience where you pay to be part of the celebration. You get to enjoy the music, the traditions, the grand decor, and maybe even make new friends. Weddings are no longer just private family events; they're becoming social experiences where anyone can join if they buy a ticket. Love weddings? You don't need an invite—just grab a ticket and join the celebration | Photo: Pexels/Emma Bauso According to The Guardian, Katia Lekarski, the founder of Invitin, came up with this idea earlier this year to connect wedding couples with paying guests. So far, six weddings, mostly around Paris, have signed told the publication that it all started when she was renting out her house in southern France to some people attending a wedding, and her five-year-old daughter wondered why they never got invited to made Lekarski think: what if people could actually buy tickets to a wedding and help the couple financially at the same time?In a world where we swipe left and right on dating apps, share meals with strangers, and bond with people we barely know over board games, paying for a ticket to attend a wedding as a guest doesn't sound all that what guests get for shelling out an average of EUR 100 to EUR 150 (Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 approx.)? Basically, the full wedding experience. You'll be there for the whole day. The only catch? You have to follow the dress concept is even happening in India. A startup called Join My Wedding connects tourists with couples having traditional Indian weddings, allowing them to experience the culture and celebrations up company describes it as the ultimate cultural experience.

The weddings listed on their website, happening across India, are priced between $150 and $250 (Rs 13,000 to Rs 21,000 approx.) per invite. The company says that this contribution is treated as a gift for the couple and covers entry to all the ceremonies on all the you wondering if attending a stranger's wedding is a good idea? Surprisingly, it could be an amazing one. Think about it, you're not just going to a party, you're stepping into an entirely new cultural experience. You get to witness age-old traditions up close and enjoy the grandeur that comes with weddings. And let's be honest, who doesn't love good food?
