Pakistani Woman Trolled Over 'Copied' Post For Groom Taking No Luxury Car to His Wedding

A groom cruising into the Baraat in a fancy car is a scene we’re all too familiar with. However, those who opt for the budget-friendly, no-frills approach are a rare breed. Now, imagine an Instagram post singing praises for a groom who rolled up to his own wedding not in a fancy chariot, but a modest Suzuki Alto. Intrigued by this ode to simplicity and the absence of showiness, a Pakistani woman couldn’t help but hit the ‘share’ button on her social media.

“This car passed me by yesternight. And I couldn’t help but ask the family to stop and let me just click the car’s photograph. The car is a Suzuki Alto, and has been mildly decorated for a wedding. You see, most of my friends and family don’t imagine themselves Driving an Alto when the subject matter is their wedding(it’s a Prado, Altis or a Civic),” read Ayesha Ali’s post on ‘X’.

“Yet here I am, sharing this photograph with all you guys. The groom clearly doesn’t care what people think about him, he knows that an Alto is what he can bring to the table, and he’s firm in his belief that it’s the best he can offer. You see, he could’ve just taken out a loan to get himself a civic but he opted not to. Our lust to impress people Jinsy hum shayad apni shadio par he milty hain often makes us debt trapped. Frugality, simplicity and humbleness are not qualities one should be ashamed of because show-offs often end up broken,” it further read.

Little did she know that her commendation would become a lightning rod for trolls, painting the groom’s choice as a poor and sacrificial option, despite the Suzuki Alto’s price tag ranging between PKR 22 to 30 lakhs in the country. “This makes me cry. 30 lac ki gari hai ye. How is this poor. Then what am i,” commented one user. Another chimed in, “Baji 30 lakh ke car simple hai??? Aah another daddy’s girl.”

The third one said, “I can’t imagine what world you are living in. I’ve seen multiple people using their own Alto and similar cars for weddings. You are just exaggerating the normalised things…Imaging thinking the Alto’s just a 10 lac worth car or somethin.”

Meanwhile, the comments section turned into a battlefield with accusations of post-plagiarism. “Why are people just automatically assuming the intentions behind this post lol? This original post was made by an Instagram account called 100kaamhain (please give credit). He’s a person who helps disabled animals along with his other teammates,” said one user. “Copied post from a guy on Instagram,” exclaimed another.

The OP, caught in the crossfire, clarified that she acknowledged the post was copied but emphasised that she wanted to convey the right message.
