Viral Video: One of the most common debates is love marriages versus arranged marriages, one that always leads to heated discussions while people justify their sides of experience. A new viral video making rounds on the internet humorfully captured this debate through a father-daughter conversation, bringing out precisely the everyday challenges in a love marriage.
Daughter Proudly Describes Her Love Marriage as ‘Dope’
The video, uploaded on July 22 by the social media account “HasnaZarooriHai” on X, features a comic father looking with a comic twist into the love marriage of his daughter. The daughter confidently asserts that her love marriage has brought fun, love, and a great “vibe” into her life. She even proudly described her relationship as “dope.” However, it is the reality check in his responses that leaves one in stitches.
The father starts off by questioning what she has gained from her love marriage. To her answer that fun and love are among the gains, he responds by reminiscing on how they argue 24 times a day. He further says that she gets angry with her partner six days a week, they fight before going out, and they eat the same dishes like “ghuniya and tinde” multiple times a week. The father responds in disbelief, “Then what kind of dope couple?”, succinctly explaining the humor behind everything as his daughter looks on in shock.
From Idealized Romance to Real-Life Challenges
This video, having already garnered over 30,000 views, really connected with people on a daily level through the acting out of quirkiness and issues occurring in any love or arranged marriage. It revealed those facets of relationships that often go unsaid, which others might not see but are actually part of everyday marital life. This video, therefore, juxtaposes idealized love marriages against real challenges in life and adds comedy while reflecting on the expectations versus realities regarding romantic relationships.
It simply means that while love marriages may be sweet and present joyful companionships, they also have their own set of day-to-day tussles. How, in the first place, does this video and these easy, touching, sometimes humorous moments, which most of the time reflect broader social themes, come out and travel at an amazing speed through social media? Of course, it reminds one that whatever relationship looks perfect from outside, every marriage has its issues.
