The incident where the groom's father rained money on wedding guests from a private plane at a wedding went viral on social media. The father, from Hyderabad, Pakistan, organized this extravagant display out of excitement for his son's marriage. Millions of rupees were showered from the sky. However, this ostentatious behavior drew criticism in a country where many people live in poverty.
Watch the incredible moment when the groom's father showered money on the wedding guests from a private plane.
In the viral footage, a light aircraft is seen circling over the party while Pakistani music plays. Pieces of paper are scattered from the plane into the sky, and it quickly becomes clear that they are money.
The guests look up in astonishment and point as the banknotes float down to the ground.
The money falls over the large party, where guests are seated at tables and wandering around the courtyard.
The father, from the city of Hyderabad in Pakistan's southern province of Sindh, rented the plane for this extravagant display out of excitement for his son's marriage.
Since the wedding ceremony took place at the bride's house, the money fell onto the bride's property.
Thousands of pounds worth of millions of rupees rained down from the sky.
A user who shared the video on X wrote: "At the request of the bride's father... the groom's father rented a plane for his son's wedding and threw millions of rupees at the bride's house. It now seems that the groom will continue to pay off his father's debt for the rest of his life."
While many people in Pakistan live in poverty, the man's actions drew criticism for both astonishment and wastefulness.
One user responded: "Instead of throwing money from the sky, this money could have been used to help the poor."
Another wrote: "This is an example of how not to spend your wealth."
A third commentator, seeing the humorous side of the event, joked: "Forget the groom; the bride's neighbors must be the happiest people right now."
This dazzling display is the latest example of increasingly extravagant and ostentatious gestures at weddings in South Asia.
Recently, a wedding cart in India went viral for being completely decorated with vegetables like carrots and radishes.
In another wedding ceremony, the happy couple arrived in bullock carts, referencing their agricultural heritage.
Other families were seen setting off fireworks in front of their homes or giving the newlyweds strange tasks after the wedding.
Perhaps the most unusual story was of a bride arriving at the wedding scene inside a giant transparent balloon.
Dancers dressed as Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha danced around as the bride entered.
