When Kareena Kapoor's character Geet says, 'main apni favourite hoon' in Jab We Met, she was clearly talking about self-love.
A content creator and social media influencer from Vadodara seems to have taken the idea of 'self love' to an altogether different level.
On June 8, Kshama Bindu, 24, swore to sologamy when she married herself in a one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony attended by her family and friends.
Sounds crazy?

'I never wanted to get married. But I did want to become a bride. So I decided to marry myself,' Kshama, a student at the Maharaja Sayajirao University in Vadodara told The Times of India newspaper. Photographs: Kind courtesy Epic Stories/Instagram

'Khudpe haldi lagi to sawar gai mai, Khudse ek rishte me kal bandh gai mai...' the bride posted on Instagram.
