Viral Video: Bride Attends Work Call While Getting Ready For Her Wedding

On her wedding day, a bride is expected to do many things like look coy or behave a certain manner, but this dulhan was busy attending calls and sending reports to her office. In a video uploaded by a makeup salon's social media page, a bride can be seen constantly busy on calls as she gets ready for her wedding day.

The short video on Instagram begins with the bride's face just in the basic phase of bridal makeup and as the video progresses we see her bridal look reach its final stage while she keeps busy explaining digits and percentages to her colleagues at work, all the while dressed in a traditional red lehenga and bangles.

Exasperated towards the end of the short video, she pleads to her colleague by saying, "Sir, I am getting married today." Clearly hinting to her colleague to let her go. It is amazing how she manages to keep so calm over the call despite irritation being clearly visible on her face. The video was uploaded with a sticker stating, "Work from home be like (emoji)," and a caption, "Lovedeep (emoji)."
