A bride in Kerala surprised her groom and wedding guests by ditching the conventional bridal entry walk in favour of a fun dance. A video that has gone viral online shows the bride - identified as Anjali by Manorama Online - dancing with her bridesmaids.
In the video, Anjali, resplendent in a red saree, shakes a leg to the song Malaiyiru as her guests watch. She continues dancing to the song as she walks up to the stage. According to Manorama Online, Anjali's aim was to surprise her husband-to-be, Varun.
Anjali's dance video, which was reportedly filmed at CR Auditorium in Kannur, first appeared on Facebook, where it has collected more than 76,000 views. Since then, it has made its way to other social media platforms like YouTube and Twitter, where many have complimented the bride's dance.
Be prepared folks. This is Year 2020. Brides will no more be shy or coy on their big days. See how a bride makes her entrance for her wedding in Cannor, Kerala.😝😆🥰👇🏿 pic.twitter.com/y9ZZjnYEpu
