Haldi function in metro? Influencer's claim raises eyebrows online | WATCH

Viral Video: A social media influencer claims to have discovered a Haldi ceremony inside an Agra Metro train, igniting curiosity and confusion among netizens. In a surprising twist of events, social media influencer Divyata Upadhyay shared a video claiming to have witnessed a Haldi ceremony taking place inside an Agra Metro train. The video quickly went viral as it showcased a coach cordoned off with a yellow sparkly curtain at the entrance. Upadhyay described the scene in her Instagram post: “Delhi Metro has crowds; we have Haldi ceremonies. I was travelling in the Agra Metro and saw a Haldi function being organised inside the train.” Her claim sparked intrigue and amusement among viewers.

The Truth Behind the Celebration

As the video gained traction online, questions arose regarding the legitimacy of hosting such ceremonies on public transport. Shortly after the video went viral, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) intervened to clarify that what Upadhyay mistook for a Haldi ceremony was actually a Basant Panchami-themed private party organized by a group called the Beautiful Girls Club Agra. They emphasized that no wedding festivities are permitted inside the metro.

Mixed Reactions from Netizens

The internet buzzed with mixed reactions to the claim. While some found humor in the idea of celebrating inside a metro coach, others questioned the practicality of such events without food allowed on board. A user sarcastically remarked about the absurdity of celebrations without snacks. The UPMRC also confirmed that while wedding functions are not allowed, they do offer rental services for special occasions like birthdays and pre-wedding shoots.

A New Trend in Celebrations?

Despite the clarification, the incident raises intriguing questions about unconventional celebration venues. With private metro rides available for special events, could we see more people opting for unique experiences like this in the future? As public transport continues to evolve and adapt to modern needs, this incident highlights both the creativity and challenges of hosting celebrations in unusual settings.

Conclusion: Celebrating in Transit

Whether it was a Haldi ceremony or a themed party, this incident has certainly captured public attention and sparked conversations about cultural celebrations in modern contexts. As influencers continue to share their experiences on social media, unique events like these may redefine how we perceive and celebrate milestones in our lives.
