As this clip surfaced, a user commented on it and claimed, “This is not kanyadaan and Farah had a brother and mother at that time." This comment caught Farah’s attention, and she slammed the user, asking them to be mindful.

Farah reacted to the comment and wrote, “In Mangalore, only a married couple can do the kanyadaan… please be careful when you talk nonsense." This comment of Farah’s has received support from netizens who backed her claims.

In the video, Farah is seen donning a minimalistic look with a pink-hued saree paired and a blue blouse. The bride left her tresses open and wore dangling earrings to complete her look. On the other hand, the groom, Shirish, complemented her in a white-hued kurta-pyjama.
