The YouTuber alleged that just six days before his wedding, his parents refused to attend the ceremony, leaving him to handle everything on his own. He claimed he was made to fold his hands, touch their feet and apologise in front of relatives. He said, “Mere se haath judwayege, pair padhwaayege. Mere se sorry bulwaya gaya saare relatives ke saamne. Papa aur mumma ne iss level tak torture kiya ki bola ki naa hum khush rahenge naa tujhe khush rehne denge.”
