A second video of an Indian wedding was viral last month. It shows two friends continuing to eat despite the fire.
This footage was filmed in Bhiwandi in Maharashtra (India) and opens with two shots of them at the table having a casual conversation with the camera operator.
After casually looking at the flames, the man wearing the white shirt returns his focus to the food.
The video shows men talking in footage, while guests are focusing on the raging fireplace.
He continued to eat even after he turned his back to see the unfolding blazer.
The wedding was attended by many, but it is easy to see that they are all looking at the fire. However, the two men filming were not bothered.
They continue to talk as if the wedding was over.
According to NDTV the cause of the fire at the wedding was the firecrackers.
It destroyed six of India’s most populous states, as well as some chairs and other decorations.
