Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of magic.” The videos show people enjoying themselves on Wall Street with the DJ’s music. Two people danced in the middle of the dance party, purportedly the bride and the groom. They were seen wearing a red lehenga and a beige-coloured sherwani. The video, shared by the DJ, captured the smiling wedding party dancing their hearts out against the backdrop of the iconic New York skyline.

Social media users gave varied reactions.

One user wrote, “Why oh why do we come away from India to indulge in this ostentatious display of wealth!!! Do this without inconveniencing the public. While it is fun to watch, I am not sure everybody appreciates this.” Another wrote, “Bruh, what kinda is this? The songs are so fired my inner Punjabi is offended by the lack of head-banging or the groom being uplifted. Adopt me and let me teach, please.”
