New Delhi. There is decoration, rosemary, music and careless dance-singing. There is a fantastic banquet and a baraati, but the groom and bride?… No. They are not needed at all. Welcome to the new world of partying in urban India. The band, Baja, procession exist and the grand Indians are as fun as ‘weddings’, they are equally fun. It is not just the family’s mess and the real groom.

The theme ‘fake wedding’ has become very popular among the youth of the city these days where people are seen swinging in a fun celebration without any commitment. Nishant Kumar, the founder of Noida’s Roftop restaurant Tahia, recently organized a fake wedding ceremony, in which tickets were completely sold. He said in this regard, “In these weddings guests come ready, dance, eat and play a role.” All this is done completely for bliss. “Kumar said,” This is a unique idea, which is born with the love of old memories, drama and Indian festivals. Weddings are one of the most colorful forms of Indian culture, food, music and emotions, but at the same time they are private and often very complicated. Then we thought that why should not people be given all the fun of a grand Indian marriage, drama and royal chic, but there should be no family politics in it. ”This idea worked.

In these programs ranging from Rs 1,500 to Rs 10,000, people who join the party even during the non-Shaadi season take out the baraatis inside them. It is difficult to ignore the details of unique invitations and tremendous programs. Girls are getting mehndi in it, wearing gleaming lehengas. At the same time, boys are seen in embroidered kurtas. Strangers become friends of each other and all together come down on the ‘dance floor’ and celebrate the wedding. But in fact it is simply showy. Natasha Ghai, a 20-year-old college student who attended one such fake wedding in Gurgaon, said, “What to wear in these weddings, there is no stress about what not to wear, when it happens in real marriage because there are relatives of shrinking nose and bodies.

In these weddings we are just with our friends, dancing on the beat of the drum, enjoying eating and drinking regardless of the world. “He said,” It was a feeling of freedom and was a marriage-like atmosphere. “Apoorva Gupta, who works in the media area in Delhi, is usually away from social events, but surprisingly, it was surprising that she was married to her friend and her mother. I happily attended. The thing that attracted her the most was not the idea of ​​marriage herself, but the absence of everything that usually makes such events tired. Gupta said in a laughing manner, “I never thought that I would enjoy so much in a so -called wedding ceremony. I have not been watching the wedding songs all night as if no one was watching and if I was to be honest, no one was really watching. Everyone was immersed in their fun. There was no forcibly interaction with distant relatives, nor was there a hassle to be photographed with the bride and groom. If I tell the truth, if the weddings are like this, then I should go with more hobbies. ”

Last month, many fake marriages were held in Mumbai, Delhi-National Capital Region, Bengaluru and Goa, and this month there are many more such marriages. This trend is going to increase even more. Kumar is then ready with another idea. He said, “Once this trend will become old, we are ready for the next party. Whether it is parties after marriage or a breakup, relationships or Bollywood songs based on songs. The basic point of these parties remains the same: food, fun and imagination. Its nature simply changes. “According to Sid Mathur, the founder of the ‘Food Consulting Firm’ ‘Secret England’, such ceremonies also give the best opportunity to eat food filled with experience. Today’s consumers do not just want to eat good food. They also need a story, some shocking and slightly different experience with it.
