A video that has sparked widespread conversation on social media is going viral, and it challenges existing wedding traditions in India. The clip shows a man taking up the responsibility of performing the “Pehli Rasoi Rasam” - a ritual traditionally carried out by a newlywed bride who cooks her first meal for her in-laws to symbolise new beginnings, foster love and acceptance, and bless the home with prosperity and harmony. In a refreshing twist, however, the groom prepared his pehli rasoi for his in-laws, prompting netizens to call it a “UNO reverse moment.”The video was shared on Instagram by a user identified as Ankit Sabharwal. In it, he explains that after moving in with his in-laws, he decided to prepare his first meal for them as part
of the ritual. He chose to make fruit custard, a dish his wife loves. The video further documents his preparations, and later shows his in-laws tasting the dessert. They not only appreciated his effort but also blessed him with shagun money (a customary token given as a blessing.)Captioned “Same Old Traditions, with a Modern Twist,” the video is quickly gaining traction online. So far, it has amassed over 35,000 likes, more than 600 comments, and over 6 lakh views.
The clip has garnered mixed yet largely positive reactions. Many praised the groom for giving the age-old custom a fresh spin, while others enjoyed the humour of the “UNO reverse” moment.One user wrote, “Hahahaha. I am really enjoying this Uno Reverse! Sarv Gun Sampan Jeeju.” Another commented, “See, it’s that simple to stay happy in life.” A third added, “This is the best video I have seen on the gram… we see a man here.” Someone else jokingly remarked, “First case in India.”
