Video of sparkle gun setting bride's hair on fire at wedding goes viral

Dance, celebration and fun are common at weddings, but sometimes this fun turns costly. One such video is spreading rapidly on social media these days, leaving viewers stunned.

The video shows the bride and groom seated on the wedding stage amid a festive atmosphere, with friends standing around taking photographs and celebrating. During this, one of the groom's friends brings a fire gun that shoots sparks, also called a sparkle gun. Intending to add to the celebration and create smoke, he walks up directly in front of the bride and fires the gun near her face.

What happens next is chilling to watch. Sparks fly out of the gun and land directly on the bride's face and hair. The video clearly shows her hair appearing to catch fire the very next moment. People on stage panic, and chaos breaks out before anyone can react. The bride is completely terrified. Someone filmed the incident on a mobile phone and posted it on social media, after which it went massively viral, with millions of people having viewed it so far.

The biggest question now is whether the video is real or fake. Many commenters say it could have been created using AI, since such videos can easily be made with AI these days. Others say the video is genuine and argue that such reckless acts should not be carried out at weddings. The use of fire guns, dry ice and firecrackers on stage is quite dangerous, since brides typically have hairspray and makeup on, which can catch fire quickly.

Netizens have strongly criticised the friend who fired the gun. One person wrote that no one should risk another person's life in the name of fun, while another said celebration is fine, but not at the cost of endangering someone else's life.
