In many Indian traditions, rain on a wedding day is regarded as a good sign, representing blessings, fertility and a strong, lasting partnership. It is thought to represent cleansing, renewal and a fresh start for the couple. But there is a myth surrounding this: many desis believe that when it rains on your wedding day, the groom or bride might have eaten in an iron kadhai (wok). Now, a video on the same belief and fallacy has gone viral.
In the video, a groom can be seen entering his wedding venue amid heavy rain. His family, relatives and friends stand under a protective area to avoid getting wet. The camera first pans in on the groom speaking with a member of his family before turning around to face the throng, who are all smiling and joking with one another.

A user said, “Divided by religion/community, United by such desi things.”
Another wrote, “Kadhai nhi cooker me khata hoga direct tbhi aise barish ho rhi h.”
While everyone blamed the groom for eating in a Kadhai, a few people suggested that the bride might have eaten in it as well. “Ye bhi to ho sakta h ladki ne kadhai me khaya ho,” a comment read.
“Galat baat h yaar kadhai me khaya tha to kadhai girni chahiye thi n,” another commented.
A user quipped, “Isko koi btaya nhi kya ……nhi khana tha.”
“Yeh tho relatable ho gya,” a comment on the post read.
There were a few who termed this as a “New fear unlocked?” Some users also commented that they have been eating in a kadhai for quite some time, and hope it doesn’t happen when they get married.
