‘Very tiring’: Bride walks 18 km in lehenga, appeals to Uttarakhand CM for road connectivity

A video showing a bride walking 18 kilometers in a heavy lehenga to reach her husband's village in Undava, Uttarakhand has gone viral. Filmed by someone on the journey, the clip captures the bride jokingly telling the cameraman that the walk has been "very tiring" (Bhai bohot thak gye paidal aake), and expressing a desire for better road connectivity.

When asked how long the walk took, she estimated it was around 2 to 2.5 hours, despite the comfortable weather conditions. The incident has sparked discussions about the lack of proper road infrastructure in rural areas of Uttarakhand, with some social media users believing the bride's claim of walking such a distance.
