A
heartwarming video from Ludhiana has taken over social media, all thanks to a bride who added her own twist to the big day by getting behind the wheel of a Mahindra Thar and driving herself to her new home. The unexpected gesture has struck a chord with viewers, who are applauding her confidence and individuality.For Bhawni Talwar Verma, the most unforgettable moment of her wedding came not during the rituals but right after the vidaai. Instead of following the usual practice of being escorted to the car or helped into the backseat, she strode directly to the driver’s side of the SUV, opened the door, and settled in as if it were the most natural thing to do.
A clip posted by Instagram user Chirag captures the scene: the groom slips into the passenger seat beside her, folds his hands, and says, "I need us to reach home safely." Later, he is seen lending her a hand as she steps out of the Thar, both of them smiling widely.Speaking to
Aaj Tak, Bhawni explained that the idea had been hers from the beginning. “I had decided beforehand that I would drive my Thar doli myself,” she said, sharing that she kept the plan to herself initially. Once her family learned about it, they backed her wholeheartedly.Social media users have been enthusiastically cheering her on, calling her self-driven doli a refreshing blend of tradition and self-assurance — and a moment that’s bound to be remembered.
