Bigg Boss Marathi 5 winner and Zapuk Zapuk fame Suraj Chavan has tied the knot, and his wedding pictures and videos are flooding social media. But amid the celebrations, a specific Haldi ceremony clip has gone viral—leaving many netizens angry, confused, and shocked.
In the video, Suraj is seen enjoying the ritual with his bride-to-be, but his overly excited act of spitting water playfully toward his bride during the ceremony triggered negative reactions online.
Netizens Slam Suraj’s Gesture
Many users expressed anger, calling the act “disrespectful,” “unhygienic,” and “unnecessary.”
Social media comment sections filled up quickly with criticism.
“This wasn’t romantic at all. It looked disrespectful,” wrote one user.
“Not everything should be done for fun and cameras,” another commented.
The Ritual Was Part of Marathi Wedding Tradition
While many criticised Suraj, fans defended him by explaining that the act was part of a traditional Marathi wedding ritual, not just random behaviour.
Suraj didn’t stop there. Another viral clip shows him participating in another ritual where:
- He holds a clove (laung) in his mouth.
- His bride, Sanjana Gofan, has to pull the clove using her mouth.
- This ritual symbolises playful bonding and blessings for the couple.
This video too is circulating widely across Instagram and wedding pages.
