Viral video of engagement ceremony at a metro station is scripted- not real

This video does not show a real incident. It is a scripted video by content creator Aarav Mavi.

A video of a young couple getting engaged in a metro station has gone viral on social media, with claims that it shows an actual incident. The footage depicts the couple sitting on a bench on the platform while an elderly woman conducts Hindu rites commonly associated with engagement ceremonies. Social media users claimed the older woman was the young man’s mother, and that she found him meeting his girlfriend at the metro station. Instead of questioning him, she reportedly decided to get the couple engaged on the spot.

The users who share the video believes that it is a real incident. The caption of the video states, “Caught red-handed at a metro station, a mother found her son with his girlfriend — but instead of creating drama, she took a surprising step and arranged their engagement”

Moving forward, we found an extended version of the viral video was uploaded to the same YouTube account on 5 February, 2026. It shows the story of a young couple named Sidharth and Diksha. In the footage, we can see that Sidharth’s family members are on their way to formalise his marriage with Diksha. They then wait for the girl at the metro station. After a long wait, the girl comes and refuses to take them home. She explains that her father is against inter-caste marriages. After this, the girl also talks to her father on the phone, but her father refuses to listen to her. Then the boy’s aunt arranges a small ritual at a metro station to fix their engagement. In the meantime, she tells the person who filmed the entire incident to record it properly and send it to his father.
