Close relatives and friends of a wedding couple often engage in playful activities with them, including the very popular ritual of stealing the groom's shoes for 'shagun money'. A recent video captures a man offering mango juice to the groom seated on the wedding stage. He is seen approaching the 'dulha' and handing him a small tetra pack of Frooti.
So what? You might have many questions in mind on why the friend only gave the drink to the groom and skipped the bride or what was so special about the beverage. Well, we have you covered.
The viral video informed netizens the Frooti provided to the groom wasn't an unusual one, it was spiked with alcohol.

Groom given alcohol on wedding stage
An Instagram user named Abir Biswas shared the clip on social media. It captured him not simply offering a sip of mango juice to the groom during amidst busy wedding rituals. Abir infused the juice with drops of rum. The reel showed him sucking Old Monk rum and adding it to the tetra pack before presenting it to the groom.
The video opened by showing Abir placing the Frooti pack next to a bottle of rum. He slowly loaded the rum into the small juice pack and walked towards the wedding stage.
In the video, the Instagrammer is seen offering the rum-infused mango juice to his groom-friend, leaving him stunned for a second.
Viral video records groom's reaction
The footage records the groom on his special day, accepting the drink and taking a sip of it, unaware that his drink is spiked with alcohol. As his friend hands him the Frooti, the groom takes a sip believing it to be a refreshing drink, only to realise later that his Frooti has been secretly infused with Old Monk rum.
The groom gives a shocked and confused expression as he processes what just happened with his mango juice.

Others reacted to the video with 'laughter' emojis.
