A similar type of ceremony was also held in a suburban village of Sialkot city last year when expensive gifts, mobile phones and currency notes were showered over people.

A video had gone viral on social media platforms in January 2022. In the video, the family and relatives were seen showering mobile phones, shawls and currency notes at a wedding ceremony organised in a suburban Jathekey village of Sambrial Tehsil of Sialkot.
