Haryana: Ambala woman rides horse, takes her own baraat to groom’s house

By Sumit Blogs -

AMBALA: Against the followed custom in Indian marriages, a woman in Haryana’s Ambala took the baraat (marriage procession) while riding a horse with a sword in her hand, to the house of the groom to marry him on Tuesday.
The bride, Priya, a lawyer of Baldev Nagar in Ambala city, was accompanied and supported by her parents, brothers, and relatives, who carried out the procession to the groom’s house in the same way as a groom does in Indian marriages as per traditions.
Talking to the media before her wedding, Priya said, “I am extremely happy for my ghurhcharhi (ride on a horse). This day perhaps never comes in the life of women as mostly, this custom is performed by men. But in my home, my parents have always treated me as a boy.”
Priya said her parents allowed her to pursue studies in law even when her relatives were against it. “My father stood by my side and motivated me to study law and become a lawyer or even a judge. I never felt that my brother was given more priority against me”, said Priya.
Priya’s father Narendra Aggarwal said that he wants to give a message that there should be no discrimination among girls and boys and that he wants to break the myth that boys are superior to girls.
“I always treated my daughter as a son. We did ghurhcharhi of our daughter to give a message to the society against female foeticide and that girls should get due respect, equal to boys. It is a myth in the society that girls do not excel in life. If her parents support, then she can reach the topmost levels,” said Narendra.
Narendra said that his elder family members were surprised to see that he had distributed sweets when Priya, a daughter, had taken birth at his home.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
