A newlywed couple from Karnataka was bound to attend their own wedding reception via video conferencing after IndiGo flight cancellations left them stranded.
Reportedly, the couple – Medha Kshirsagar of Hubballi and Sangama Das of Bhubaneswar got married on November 23 at groom’s place. Their grand reception was scheduled for December 3 in the bride’s hometown, Hubballi, where guests and arrangements were already in place.
The couple booked flights from Bhubaneswar to Hubballi with a layover in Bengaluru. However, repeated delays left them stranded — and finally, their flight was cancelled on December 3 morning.
With guests waiting and arrangements completed, the couple decided to attend their own reception virtually from Bhubaneswar.
The incident came to light after the video of the wedding circulated on social media. In the video, the couple is seen fully dressed in reception attire on screen, while the bride’s parents performed rituals by sitting in the seats reserved for the couple.
IndiGo has cancelled over 180 flights across India this week due to crew shortages after new government duty-rest norms took effect. Major airports including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chennai, and Bhopal witnessed severe disruptions, affecting thousands of passengers.
