A groom-to-be from Bengaluru has set the internet abuzz after sharing his amusing pre-Haldi ceremony adventure on X. In a post, Ramnath Shenoy explained how he found himself in hot water with his family for forgetting the crucial yellow kurta on the big day. In a quick-thinking move, he turned to Swiggy Instamart, which delivered a Manyavar kurta in a record-breaking eight minutes. However, the drama didn’t end there. After the Haldi ceremony, Ramnath found himself drenched, only to realize he had no spare undergarments. Instamart once again came to his rescue, delivering fresh essentials in record time. Ramnath humorously acknowledged Instamart’s impeccable timing and service, joking that they deserved an invitation to his wedding.
“36 hours to my wedding, and @SwiggyInstamart deserves a seat at the mandap! Haldi morning chaos = forgot my yellow kurta. Family wrath loading… until Instamart saved the day with a Manyavar kurta in 8 minutes (here’s me rocking it 10 minutes later). Then came the Haldi waterworks—soaked to the core, no backup undergarments. Instamart delivered a fresh pair in 10 minutes. At this rate, I might just add them to the invite list. Fingers crossed for no more surprises,” Mr Shenoy wrote.
