An unusual and lighthearted incident in India has captured widespread attention after a young man uniquely celebrated his divorce. Instead of mourning the end of his marriage, he chose to embrace his newfound freedom with joy and marked the occasion through the traditional Hindu ritual “Abhishekam,” in which his mother poured milk over him.
The viral video shows the young man smiling happily while his mother pours milk on him as part of the ritual. Dressed in fresh clothes, he also cut a cake to celebrate the start of a new chapter in his life. In his Instagram caption, he wrote, “Be happy, celebrate your life, don’t be sad. I am single, happy, and free now.”
The clip quickly spread across social media platforms and has already been viewed more than three million times. Reactions poured in from users around the world. Some praised his cheerful attitude, while others made humorous remarks, calling him “a mama’s boy finally set free.”
The video also sparked debate on social media, with many users pointing out the double standards in society. Some noted that when a father once celebrated his daughter’s divorce, it drew criticism, while this celebration was being met with applause. One user commented, “Life doesn’t end with divorce; sometimes separation is the beginning of something better.”
This incident serves as a reminder that not every ending is sorrowful; sometimes, it can mark a fresh, positive, and liberating beginning.
