Bindaas bride rocks the Internet
We shot it while I was getting ready and waiting for my bridegroom. I didn’t know that the video would be so cool AMISHA BHARDWAJ, BRIDE FROM DELHI
Brides practise for months under professionals to put together that jaw-dropping performance on their big day SWATI CHIRIPAL, WEDDING PLANNER
Delhi girl Amisha Bhardwaj has become an Internet celebrity. Her wedding video, which shows her performing to Cheap Thrills by Sia, is breaking the Internet. In the video, Amisha shows off her coolest moves, while getting ready for her destination wedding. Her unrestrained dancing has got people really talking.
Amisha was waiting for Pranav, her bridegroom, and her videographer suggested “that we dance to kill time”. Now, she says, “I’m getting friend requests and messages from people across the world. The best compliment came from my husband. He said he is proud of me because I am so bindaas. My in-laws are complimenting me and sharing the video.”
Pawandeep Singh, owner, Coolbluez, who made Amisha’s video along with his partner Surpreet Kaur, says, “Brides are no longer shy and coy these days. They want to make their big day ‘happening’. They want to enjoy the day instead of smiling like a mannequin.”
A performance by the bride herself at her wedding is one of the newest wedding trends. “Brides practise for months under professionals to put together that jaw-dropping performance on their big day,” says wedding planner Swati Chiripal. “It’s like a Bollywood awards function. These are memories for life, and people give it their best.”
But the pressure can be too much. Psychologist Pulkit Sharma says, “A wedding is an occasion when you want to relish beautiful moments, feel good about yourself and relax. But there’s this fantasy of showing to the world that you are too good, rich, talented, and cool. This often leaves brides and bridegrooms stressed out.”
