Aanchal Arora, Bride-to-Be, Has Sweet Encounter with Punjab Police, Winning Hearts Online

A heartwarming interaction between bride-to-be Aanchal Arora and Punjab police officers has taken social media by storm. A viral Instagram video, shared by Aanchal herself, captures a delightful and unexpected exchange during what began as a routine traffic stop on her way to the “haldi” ceremony.

Aanchal was on her way to her pre-wedding celebration, all dressed in a bright yellow outfit. Punjab police pulled her car over for a traffic violation. Expecting a heavy fine, the chirpy bride welcomed the officers with a smile and implored, “Meri haldi hai, jaan do” (It’s my haldi ceremony, let me go).

The officers were won over by her festive mood. One officer said in a joking tone, “Muh meetha kara ke jaana” (mark the occasion with sweets). Aanchal and her friends gleefully agreed to send a box of laddoos and told them, “Laddoo ka dabba pakka!” Convinced by her enthusiasm, the officers welcomed her with wishes for her happy future and withdrew the fine as the routine traffic halt turned out to be one of the pleasant memories of pre-wedding times.

Going Viral This Instagram video, captioned “When you thought it was a challan but instead it was Shaadi Mubarak”, has gone viral with more than 3 million views and over 160,000 likes on the social platform. The relaxed banter is what won many hearts and soon turned the comments into a praising site for the gestures of these officials.

One user mentioned, “This is the ‘pookie’ side of Punjab police we don’t get to see too often.” The other commented, “Moments like these restore faith in humanity.
While many welcomed the officers, others humorously debated the contrast treatment boys would get in similar circumstances. “Punjab Police with girls: pookie. Punjab Police with boys: where is the lathi,” joked one user. Another quipped, “Looks like Punjab Police now accepts wedding laddoo boxes as fines!”

Some even shared their funny stories of times when they met good police. One user who commented said, “We were biking and tripling once; stopped by the police. We told them I scored 85% in my 10th-grade exam; he smiled and said, ‘Amazing! Go ahead.'”.

The Laddoo Promise

Later, Aanchal uploaded a video of her promising to deliver the laddoos. The officers received the sweets with wide smiles on their faces, and that’s how the moment was sealed, one of mutual respect and happiness.
Now a viral reminder in the form of Aanchal’s memorable haldi ceremony that a little happiness and humor in life can add glitz to a routine situation is being discussed: the human touch of law enforcing individuals making a big impact through small actions.

As one viewer aptly put it, “This is the kind of energy we need more of—spread joy, spread laddoos!”
