Silent Baraat goes viral
Viral Baraat: Indian weddings are ornate events with several customs and themes; they wouldn’t be the same without music, dancing, and, of course, a baraat. Videos of individuals dancing during weddings, pre-wedding rituals, and lavish events with a variety of themes are widely available on social media. Recently, a social media video showing an unusual baraat has gone viral. In the video, the groom’s procession—known as the baraat in Hindi—is shown dancing noiselessly while wearing headphones.
Inspiration from “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”
Vlogger @sheffoodie posted the video to Instagram. “Never thought I’d be attending an Ae Dil hai Mushkil DJ party. Would you ever wish to be a part of such a party?” She made reference to the silent disco version of the “Breakup song” that was featured in the movie in his post about the video.

“Dude… This is a nice idea… Other people will also not disturb,” wrote one user. “Very good initiative,” said another.
However, one user added, “That’s so awkward for the viewers. Like I can visualise it ‘ae pagal hain sab naach rahe bina gaane ke’ [Are they mad? They’re dancing without music],” while another said, “Not interested in this type of barat”.
“Someone as wild as me will end up breaking the headphones,” expressed another.
