At a wedding in Delhi, the DJ’s choice of Channa Mereya from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil turned a joyous occasion into an unforgettable drama. The song, which captures the agony of unrequited love, struck an emotional chord with the groom, reminding him of his past heartbreak. Overcome with emotion, he made the shocking decision to call off the wedding right then and there, sending the baraat back home without the bride.


This unexpected twist quickly went viral, with social media abuzz about how a single song could spark such a drastic action. Directed by Karan Johar, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) explores themes of love and loss, focusing on Ayan (Ranbir Kapoor), who falls deeply in love with Alizeh (Anushka Sharma), only to find she doesn’t feel the same. The song Channa Mereya poignantly captures Ayan’s emotional turmoil, making it resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

Karan Johar, the director of the film, couldn’t help but react to the viral wedding incident. He shared his surprise on Instagram stories with a simple “Huh???” — highlighting his disbelief at the real-life drama the song had triggered.

In a season known for extravagant weddings, this viral moment serves as a stark reminder of the unexpected ways life — and Bollywood — can intersect.
