Bangalore: Wedding called off over choice of biryani

We are mostly aware of the several virtues that a good plate of biryani comes with: its ability to fix a bad day at work, its ability to transform into a devout non-vegetarian’s counterpart for chocolate, it’s ability to make a party a memorable one. However, with great love, comes great zeal. And the latter can prove to be disruptive, as an incident in Bangalore just showed.

The Hindu reports: “It all started when the girl’s family prepared 30 kg of chicken biryani and sent it to the groom’s side. The groom’s family was upset as they do not eat chicken. The issue was resolved soon. However, it was brought up again at the wedding on Sunday night where it got blown out of proportion.” The girl, miffed at the proceedings, called of the wedding and her family filed a complaint in the KG Halli police station. The groom’s family too refused to step back at the March 9 wedding got cancelled.
