Hashtag Laapataa Dulhan: Groom arrives with 100 baraatis to marry Instagram love, discovers no bride, no venue

Love in the age of Instagram can be unpredictable, but this story from Punjab's Moga takes unpredictability to a whole new level. Deepak Kumar, a young man from Jalandhar, learned this the hard way when his wedding day turned into an unimaginable waiting game.

According to Moga City South Police ASI Harjinder Singh, Deepak, the son of Prem Chand from Madiala village, met Manpreet Kaur on social media. Their online connection became so strong that they decided to get married.



The grand baraat, complete with 100 guests, set off in high spirits to Moga, where the wedding was supposedly planned at the “Rose Garden Palace.” However, upon their arrival, there was no sign of any such palace.

Confused, Deepak called Manpreet, who casually told him to wait as she would send someone to fetch them. The baraat waited at Lohara Chowk, hungry and thirsty.

From midday until 6 PM, the baraatis waited and waited.

Six hours later, Deepak realised that his big day would not end with a “happily ever after.”

He eventually headed to the Moga City South Police Station, where he filed a complaint.

Love can make fools of us all, but this story? It’s on another level. If you’re planning to swipe right forever, maybe double-check that the wedding venue actually exists!
