In a delightful twist blending Indian wedding tradition with digital innovation, a father from Kerala has become an overnight internet sensation. At his daughter’s wedding, the proud father decided to ditch the age-old practice of collecting gift envelopes and instead came up with a 21st-century solution he wore a Paytm QR code right on his shirt pocket!
A viral video from the ceremony shows him greeting guests warmly, his shirt neatly adorned with the digital payment code. Guests, amused yet impressed, could be seen scanning the code to gift money directly, turning what’s usually a cash-filled affair into a completely cashless celebration.
