Hyderabad: If you thought solo weddings are popular only in Japan, then you may very well be wrong. India is all set to witness its first solo wedding as a woman named Kshama Bindu from Gujarat is set to marry herself. Yes, you read that right!

As per online reports, 24-year-old Bindu is set to wed herself this June 11 in a ceremony that will include ‘pheras’ and wearing vermilion on the forehead. Calling it the ultimate gesture of self-love, Bindu told ‘TOI’, “Self-marriage is a commitment to be there for yourself and unconditional love for oneself. It’s also a recognition of stepping into adulthood and an act of self-acceptance. People marry someone they love. I love myself and hence this wedding.”
