Upon observing the Instagram account, it was confirmed that it belongs to an Indian content creator named Aarav Mavi. He regularly creates and publishes various dramatized content based on contemporary stories.
In a video message posted from the same profile on December 16, the content creator clarified that the video in question is not a real event but was filmed according to a script. He explained that he creates such entertainment-oriented content based on various stories submitted by his followers.
Therefore, an acted or scripted video is being circulated as a real scene of a young woman meeting her lover two hours before her wedding; the claim is completely false.
