Mumbai, Oct 30 : The internet went into overdrive on Thursday morning after a video of Mahima Chaudhry and Sanjay Mishra dressed as a bride and groom began circulating on social media. The clip, which showed the 90s Bollywood star glowing in a bridal avatar and Sanjay Mishra standing beside her in full wedding attire, instantly sparked rumours of a surprise marriage.
“Yeh log baarati hain… mithai kha kar jaana!” Mahima quipped in the video a line that sent social media into a frenzy.
Within hours, Mahima’s name started trending on Google, with fans flooding X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with congratulatory messages and questions like “Did Mahima Chaudhry remarry at 52?” Gossip pages added to the chaos, turning the internet into a virtual wedding celebration.
But here’s the truth there was no real wedding.
The viral clip is actually a promotional video for Mahima and Sanjay Mishra’s upcoming film, Durlabh Prasad Ki Doosri Shaadi. The actors were shooting for a quirky wedding themed promo when the clip was leaked online, leading fans to believe it was a real ceremony.
In the video, Mahima’s bridal glow and Sanjay’s serious groom persona looked so authentic that many fell for the act. The two even posed for cameras like a newly married couple, adding to the illusion.
Earlier this week, Mahima had shared the film’s motion poster, featuring a hilarious pamphlet about a fifty year old man’s “second marriage”. Captioning it playfully, she wrote: “Dulhan mil gayi hai! Tayyar ho jaaiye… baraat jaldi niklegi.”
The film, which also stars Vyom and Palak Lalwani, is already creating buzz for its humorous take on love and marriage at a later age. Social media reactions have been full of laughter and relief with one fan commenting, “Promotion ho toh aisa! Sabko bewakoof bana diya.”
Another wrote, “I almost fainted thinking Mahima secretly remarried!”
With this clever promotional stunt, Mahima Chaudhry has managed to make one of the most talked-about comebacks of the year proving that sometimes, a little suspense and a viral twist can steal the show better than any trailer.
So no, there’s no real life wedding just a reel one that set the internet buzzing.
