Kerala Man Wears Paytm QR Code At Daughter's Wedding — Guests Send Digital 'Shagun' | Viral Video

A

wedding in Kerala has recently gone viral for an unusual yet amusing twist — instead of handing out the traditional cash-filled envelopes, guests were seen scanning a Paytm QR code to send their 'shagun' (blessings) digitally.The highlight of the event was a man proudly standing with a QR code sticker on the pocket of his shirt during his daughter’s wedding. As the camera panned toward him in the viral video, he smiled and pointed to the code while guests cheerfully made their digital transfers.Note: Times now could not independently verify the authenticity of the post.

Many on social media called it a sign of India’s increasing shift toward cashless celebrations, while others saw humour and controversy in equal measure. “Bhai ab envelope mei 100 bhi nh de sakte (Now one cannot give Rs 100 in an envelope),” joked one user. Another quipped, “Bhai sara piasa white mai (It is all white money).” A third added, “Modern India needs modern solutions.” One more remarked, “These GPay and QR codes have revolutionized payment methods in India, and making payments is now easier than ever.”Not everyone was amused, though. Some felt it crossed a line, with one critic commenting, “What an excellent way of begging, not a speck of decency, he might be thinking it looks cool but rather disciplined people might think the other way... these people can never change.”However, the majority were impressed and amazed by this unique blend of tradition and technology.
