It is not the first time that newlyweds have died during nuptials.

In 2021, Surabhi collapsed and died due to cardiac arrest during her wedding to Manoj Kumar in India state of Uttar Pradesh.

A doctor from the local village was called to the scene but was unable to save her.

But rather than call a halt to proceedings, the families of both parties agreed to continue with the wedding ceremony by replacing the bride with her sister, Nisha.
