A viral video of an Indian wedding has left netizens in splits, with the internet going wild over the funny clip. In the video, a guest secretly picks up a piece of chicken from her plate, wraps it in tissue paper while sitting at the table, and then pushes it directly into her purse.
The instant, which was caught on tape, soon became viral as the audience found the woman’s sneaky action amusing yet strangely relatable. Most social media users noted that she likely didn’t want to waste the leftover meal, while others made light of it by saying that it was her method of securing a “takeaway” without having to ask.
What resonated with a lot of people was the pragmatism in the act. Weddings are usually synonymous with sumptuous feasts, where more food is placed on plates than actually eaten. Rather than throw away the chicken, the woman chose to pack it discreetly. Some applauded her “zero-wastage” thinking, while others just couldn’t help but burst into a laugh at the courage and wit of the action.
Comments overran social media channels with sarcastic comments. “This is so desi aunty,” one commented in jest. Another remarked, “She needs a medal for not wasting food.” Others confessed that they had done something like that before or seen family members doing the same at family gatherings.
While the video has caused infinite amounts of laughter, it has also raised a light-hearted discussion about wastage of food at weddings and how wedding guests frequently devise their own offbeat fixes.
