"Always check your gajra, brides!": Viral video shows caterpillar crawling in bride's hair flowers; netizens react

A wedding day marks the biggest turning point in a woman's life, when she takes a step forward into the forever with the person she chooses to build dreams with.


It's that magical moment where childhood fantasies meet reality, surrounded by loved ones cheering her on. Dressed in her finest, decked with alluring jewelry and accessories- bangles, nose ring, and flower garlands for her hair.


But what if a tiny creature shows up uninvited?

Viral video shows tiny crawling caterpillar in bride’s gajra

Recently, a viral video showed a bride all decked up for her big day, but a tiny caterpillar was caught crawling in her hair bun.

The video shows a bride decked up for one of her wedding functions in a pastel green saree paired with a blue blouse and gold jewellery.

Her hair is adorned with a fresh gajra of jasmine and roses, but right then a tiny caterpillar seems to appear, peeking and crawling in and around the bun.

The clip, captioned "Beware of flower insects/bugs before wearing flowers in your hair this summer," has gone viral online, sparking warnings about the risks fresh flowers can pose for brides.

Later in the video, a helper can be seen quickly plucking it off into a box, but the moment has everyone gasping. The video ends with the bride laughing it off, but the caption drives home the point.

Fresh flowers for gajras or venues are lovely but can possess some risk. Jasmine and marigolds often harbor insects from fields. "Fresh flowers" are key requisites for classic updos, but hygiene is also necessary and should be kept in mind.

Social media is buzzing with reactions

One user commented, "Main to gajra hi nikal deti usi waqt!". Another said, "Always check your gajra, brides!" A third user added, “Oh! Mago! Sareer sathe matching!’
