Who says a breakup must always bring sorrow and tears? For one Indian man, his divorce became an occasion to rejoice rather than mourn. Instead of retreating into sadness, he chose to mark the end of his marriage with a grand celebration — complete with Hindu rituals, a cake-cutting ceremony, and a generous farewell gift worth ₹18 lakh along with 120 grams of gold for his former wife. While many struggle for months to move on after a separation, this man took a refreshingly positive route and celebrated his newfound freedom in style.
His unique approach to heartbreak quickly caught the attention of the internet after he shared a video of his celebration online. Within hours, the clip went viral, drawing millions of views and sparking a lively debate among netizens.
A Ritual of Renewal and Liberation
In the viral video, the man is seen seated on the floor while his mother performs a ‘Shudhi’ ceremony — a traditional Hindu purification ritual. She pours milk over him in an act known as Abhishekam, usually performed for deities in temples. However, this time, the ritual symbolized a man cleansing himself of the past and embracing a new chapter as a single individual.
The symbolic act marked the formal conclusion of his marriage and the spiritual beginning of a carefree, independent life. The moment was both emotional and humorous — a fusion of tradition and personal reinvention, performed not in sorrow but in celebration.
A Cake That Spoke Volumes
The highlight of the event was a large chocolate cake bearing a bold message: “Happy Divorce—120 grams of gold, 18 lakh cash.” The man joyfully cut the cake surrounded by his friends and family, radiating excitement and relief. Through his post, he clarified that he hadn’t taken the gold and money from his ex-wife—he had given them as a gesture of goodwill. His caption exuded self-assurance, emphasizing that he was single, content, and free to live life on his own terms.
Mixed Reactions From the Internet
Since being uploaded, the video has garnered over three million views, drawing both praise and criticism. Some viewers mocked him as a “mummy’s boy,” suggesting his ex-wife made the right choice by leaving. Others interpreted the act as a display of self-liberation and courage.
Supporters hailed him for normalizing the idea of parting with dignity rather than bitterness. Many commented that peace of mind is far more valuable than wealth, and some even shared their own humorous anecdotes. One woman jokingly wrote that her mother-in-law might have celebrated the same way—had she not stayed and turned the tables.
In the end, what stood out most was the man’s message: that freedom, self-respect, and happiness can sometimes emerge not despite a divorce, but because of it.
