The unique pre- wedding ritual of tearing clothes of the groom
Sindhis have a unique ritual where they tear the groom's clothes on the eve of the wedding. Since with marriage, he is entering into a new phase of life, he is expected to shed the old and embrace the new. The tearing of clothes symbolises just that. It is only the family members and friends of the groom who tear his clothes to ward off the evil and to prepare the groom for his new life. With the clothes, his bachelorhood is separated from him. Another belief behind this custom is that after this ritual, the groom is free from all evil and negativity and ready embrace the new life that awaits him as a married man.
Talking about DeepVeer, though the couple declared the wedding dates on social media in October after months of speculation, Deepika and Ranveer made sure the wedding itself was cloaked in secrecy. They didn't let out a single pic or video from the wedding until some time ago. There have been some pics that have surfaced online but they're not enough to give a clear glimpse of what happened at the wedding ceremony today. Unlike Bollywood’s two earlier weddings – Sonam Kapoor-Anand Ahuja in Mumbai and Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli in Italy — this couple gave the media no space to broadcast their love story ‘IRL’, ‘in real time’. According to reports, only 40 people, including Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Farah Khan, have been invited for the wedding.
