This Bengali bride, challenging age-old traditions, is the latest addition to viral social media videos. She’s shattering stereotypes and she’s not your regular ‘demure bride’.
The video starts with the ‘Kanakanjali’ ritual, where as the bride steps out, she throws a handful of rice over her head – a gesture signifying that she has repaid all her debts to her mother. While performing this ritual, she says one can never repay one’s parent’s debts.
A big’ol ‘buri ladki’salaam to you!

The footage has been shared widely on social media and the newlywed has garnered praise for speaking out her mind.
