In India, where obsession with fair skin colour is well documented and can sometimes even have tragic consequences, the groom faced intense online shaming and was called names for his "darker skin colour". "People were making jokes and memes and it felt very wrong," Mr Rajput told BBC Hindi from his home in Jabalpur. Mr Rajput also addressed the issue of colourism in the comments, saying he had faced colour discrimination his whole life. Those who are commenting on our relationship by looking at a 30-second video don't know that it captures 11 years of hard work that we have put into it," says Mr Rajput.
