A young Indian couple has been savagely trolled on social media for posting their intimate post-wedding photoshoot.
The photographs of Lekshmi and Hrushi Karthik show them laughing, cuddling and chasing each other in greenery. The duo is wrapped in white silk. After postponing their lavishly planned wedding in April 2020, they were married in September in a private ceremony and wanted to make it memorable by marking the occasion with the photoshoot since the marriage ceremony was rather small in scale due to the pandemic.
"Ours was an arranged-cum-love marriage," Lekshmi told the BBC. "Our families introduced us last year and then we dated and fell in love," she said. Hrushi works in a telecom company and Lekshmi has just completed her degree in electrical and electronic engineering.
The couple didn’t expect that the photographs taken by Akhil Karthikeyan would create such an uproar online for them. They were described as ugly, vulgar and shameful once Akhil uploaded them on Facebook. However, this incident hasn’t demotivated the couple, and they do not plan to take down the photos.
