Karnataka bride calls off wedding moments before ritual, walks away with lover under police protection
A wedding in Hassan district of Karnataka came to an abrupt halt when the bride refused to go ahead with the ceremony moments before the tying of the mangal sutra (sacred marriage chain). The bride, Pallavi, said she was in love with another man and could not proceed with the wedding. She eventually walked away from the venue under police protection. A viral video capturing the incident shows a clip where the groom is seen saying something to Pallavi, while she silently shakes her head. The video then cuts to a shot of Pallavi, her face covered, being escorted by her boyfriend. The video was shared on X by user @gharkekalesh with the caption, 'Karnataka: Bride Pallavi refused to marry at the last moment, saying she loves someone else. She walked out of the wedding venue with her lover under police protection.' The post has amassed over 2 million views. Karnataka: Bride Pallavi refused to marry at the last moment, saying she loves someone walked out of the wedding venue with her lover under police protection — Ghar Ke Kalesh (@gharkekalesh) May 24, 2025 Many netizens have expressed their support for the bride. One user commented, 'Why cover her face? She's setting a great example for Indian girls everywhere. Better late than never – she did what was right.' Another wrote, 'People acting as if she won't have already told her parents about it. But for Indian parents kulcha & traditions are most important, not the happiness of their daughter. The groom is the victim in this case but so are the woman and her lover who're victims of society & parents.' A third user remarked, 'She took a great decision. I favor her because he saved the life of three persons first one is bridegroom, herself and her lover. Otherwise she cries whole life and his family I mean his husband would be tensed with her treat. It was a good step. I appreciate her but I should be earlier.' Another added, 'A sensible thing to do, rather than marrying the guy & signing up for a lifetime of infidelity. However, she could've totally avoided the drama; the parents on both sides would've been left mighty embarrassed. I feel for the guy, though!' According to reports from India Today, the incident occurred at Sri Adichunchanagiri Kalyana Mantapa in Hassan district, where Pallavi, a postgraduate, was set to marry Venugopal G, a government school teacher. As the rituals reached the decisive stage, Pallavi reportedly received a phone call that led her to lock herself in a room and refuse to come out. She later informed her family that she was in love with someone else and did not wish to go ahead with the wedding. Despite emotional appeals from her family and intervention by local police, Pallavi stood firm in her decision. Eventually, the groom also decided to withdraw, stating he did not want to marry someone unwilling. A relative who was present said, 'Once she received a phone call, she said she didn't want to get married and was feeling scared. She spoke to the groom, told him she was frightened and didn't want to go through with the marriage — she just wanted to stay with her mother.' The relative added, 'She informed the groom and stopped the wedding just five minutes before the auspicious time (muhurtha). Now, they are alleging that she was in love with another boy. She hadn't informed anyone earlier because the boy belongs to a different caste.' The event, which was attended by hundreds of guests from both families, was cancelled, leaving family members visibly distressed. Police from the local station were called to manage the situation and maintain order. No formal complaint has been filed. This is not the first time a wedding in India has been abruptly cancelled. In a separate incident, a groom in Rajasthan walked out of his wedding after answering a phone call during the saat pheras (seven sacred circumambulations). The couple had completed six of the seven rounds when the groom received a call, reportedly from another woman, and refused to take the final step to complete the ritual.

Langur snatches boy's roti in viral video as father films; the Internet calls out ‘bad parenting'
A video of a boy crying after a langur snatches a roti from his hands has gone viral. In the 37-second clip, the langur climbs down from a terrace, grabs the roti from the boy's hands, and begins eating it beside him. As the startled child starts crying, the langur munches on the stolen roti. The boy's father, instead of comforting his son or stepping in, continues filming. The man is heard saying, 'Baithe raho, kaatega nahi' (Keep sitting, he won't bite). As the child sobs, a woman, possibly the man's wife, can be heard saying, 'Arre woh ro raha hai. Hataa lo' (He is crying, take him away), but the father responds with a casual, 'Nahi kaatega. Papa hai toh' (He won't bite. His father is here). The video was posted on X by the account 'Ghar Ke Kalesh' with the caption, 'Wholesome Kalesh b/w a Monkey and a Kid.' The video has garnered over 776,000 views, and many comments. Wholesome Kalesh b/w a Monkey and a Kid: — Ghar Ke Kalesh (@gharkekalesh) May 16, 2025 X users were not amused by the father's behaviour, with many calling him out for 'bad parenting'. One user wrote, 'The person filming is completely irresponsible. That animal could've harmed the child.' Another user said, 'Bad parenting. Even if the monkey seems harmless, the kid doesn't know that. This could be traumatic.' A third user wrote, 'The father should be jailed for endangering his child. This is worrying.' Some users shared encounters they have had with monkeys, with one commenter writing, 'Same happened to me when I was four. But I didn't give up my samosa!' This isn't an isolated incident. Monkeys have become infamous for their thieving skills. Recently, a monkey in Vrindavan snatched a Samsung S25 Ultra smartphone and refused to give it back until someone offered it a juice box. The monkey dropped the phone only after drinking the juice.

Video: Maharashtra Man Harasses Woman For Not Speaking Marathi, Her Response Goes Viral
A video showing a man aggressively screaming and harassing a woman for not speaking in Marathi has gone viral, triggering a language debate online. The clip, posted on the X account @gharkekalesh, shows the man insisting that the woman speak in Marathi as she lives in Maharashtra. However, the woman refuses, saying that she does not know the language and won't be forced into speaking it. "Nahi aata mujhe Marathi. Nahi bolungi. Aata hi nahi toh kaise bolungi (I don't know how to speak Marathi. I won't speak it. If I don't know it, how do you expect me to speak it?)," the woman told the man. The man then asked her how she was staying in Maharashtra without knowing the language. To this, the woman replied several times, "Meri marzi se rehti hoon. Mera khud ka ghar hai (I stay as per my wish. I've my own house here)." The man then asked where her village is. "Mera gaon kahi ka bhi rahe (Let wherever my village be)," she said. The man again told her, "Marathi mein baat karne ka (You have to speak in Marathi)." The woman then screamed at him, "Nahi karungi. Kya karloge? Main koi bhi bhasha se baat karun, mera zabaan meri marzi (I won't speak. What will you do? I'll speak whatever language I want, my mouth my wish)." Watch the video below: Kalesh b/w a Marathi guy and lady over not speaking Marathi in Maharashtra — Ghar Ke Kalesh (@gharkekalesh) May 12, 2025 Since being shared, the video has accumulated more than 281,000 views. In the comments section, while some users condemned the harassment, others praised the woman's courage. Several users also remarked on the importance of language. "Language is important, but you can't harass like this. Both of them should be polite!" one user wrote. "If we continue down this path of linguistic intolerance, we risk creating invisible borders within our own country. And honestly, do we really need more division in a country that already struggles with religious, caste, and political divides? Words should unite, not divide," commented another. "If you come across any language warriors, just say 'Okay, I'll learn soon,' and walk away. No need to waste your energy," suggested a third user. "There is no law mandating anyone to speak a specific language in India anywhere. In fact, Article 351 instructs the Union to advance and enhance Hindi as a cultural medium and way to allow more regions to mingle. This is so weird and awkward," commented another. "We are dividing our nation in language, which is not right, everyone has right to live any part of india," one user wrote.
