The video was shared on Twitter by @SophiaZarin, who is a social media activist based in Kashmir. The tradition featured in the video was said to be from a village in Kashmir. In the 20-second clip, we could see the newlyweds making Roti together. While the bride flattened the dough and put it on the tawa to get cooked, the groom was responsible for flipping it and making sure that the Roti was evenly cooked.
Thus, the idea behind the ritual was for the couple to share responsibility and cooperate in the present as well as the future.
