A controversial video shared by the Instagram handle @gharkakalesh is drawing massive attention on social media. The clip reportedly shows a man standing in the Ganges River while holding a flower-garlanded photograph of his wife and symbolically performing her Pind Daan ritual, which is traditionally conducted for deceased individuals.
In the viral video, the man is seen throwing the photograph and some belongings into the river after declaring that his wife was “dead” to him. According to his claims in the video, he took the extreme step after repeatedly objecting to his wife’s alleged habit of creating provocative and objectionable Instagram Reels. He alleged that despite several attempts to convince her to stop, she did not listen, leading to the shocking public act.
The incident has sparked widespread debate online, with many users expressing shock over the nature of the protest while others discussed the growing impact of social media on personal relationships and family disputes.
The viral video has triggered intense reactions across social media, with users sharply divided over the husband’s controversial act. While some people sympathized with the man and viewed the incident as a result of emotional distress and public embarrassment, others strongly criticized the act as an insult to sacred Hindu traditions and rituals.
Several users condemned the symbolic Pind Daan ceremony, calling it disrespectful to religious customs and questioning the public display of personal disputes on social media. Others argued that both the husband’s actions and the alleged reel-making controversy reflected the growing influence of online attention culture on relationships and family matters.
The incident has since sparked a wider debate online about social media obsession, public humiliation, personal freedom, and the misuse of religious rituals for viral content.
