Pankaj-Dua i.e. Vadodara couple Pankaj Chawla and Dua Mistry, a vegan couple was all set to be married on Wednesday 15th December when their worst nightmare turned to reality. Their food vlogger turned wedding planner showered grated cheese on both of them from helicopter during Varmala.
This incident was recorded in Gujarat. So, apart from vegan couple nobody at the venue had much problem with it. When the hardcore Gujarati priest got to know about couple being vegan, he felt he has sinned. Grated cheese was already present in large quantities at the wedding venue for various recipes like cheese momos, cheese pizza, cheese paan, cheese idli, cheese noodles, cheese dhokla, cheese jalebi, cheese basundi, cheese roti etc. and helicopter was also already there for couple’s grand wedding entry. Initially nobody knew about this outside couple’s family but when Pankaj-Dua issued a public statement in newspapers and radio channels to call this incident an attack on vegan community of India, they became overnight stars of the Vegan community of India. They are also made Admins of the official what’s app group of Indian vegan community. They refused to talk to us as we have used name of an animal specie (Faux) in our name. When we contacted the wedding planner, he told us that the theme of this wedding was cheese. He had employed 20 workers for 1 whole week to grate cheese. As a former food vlogger, he knew that only cheese and couple posts on instagram get most likes. So his idea was to combine both and he thinks this innovation by him has made him the most successful wedding planner of Vadodara in very short period of time as he succeeded in getting the couple most likes on instagram.
Although the wedding planner succeeded in getting Pankaj-Dua famous online but he is getting death threats from the vegan community. Half of the threats to him say “I/we will eat you alive…”. That’s why we did not reveal his name. Currently his thinking about more wedding rituals and traditions in which he can include cheese as cheese has become his trademark now.
