Newly married couple severely burned after hydrogen wedding balloons explode on top of them in New Dehli

A newly married couple have been left injured and shaken after balloons exploded and rained fire on them as they were making their grand entrance to their wedding ceremony.

The couple were holding a bunch of hydrogen filled balloons as they processed to the New Delhi, India temple surrounded by friends and family.

Shocking video footage shows the moment the balloons explode, spitting hot flames onto the couple and their wedding party.

Both of them suffered severe burns across their bodies. The woman, identified as Tanyaa, had burns across her face and back and her hair was singed.

The man, identified as Kushagra, suffered burns across his hands and back. His hair was also singed.

The couple posted the video to Instagram which then went viral, the Deccan Chronicle reported.

It shows them as they were walking to make their grand entry while the rest of the wedding party fired guns with coloured powder into the air.

When one of the guns was pointed at the balloons, the heat it generated reacted with the hydrogen and caused them to burst.

“We never imagined the most special day of our lives would take such a drastic turn,” the couple wrote on Instagram

Despite the incident, the couple decided to push on with the wedding after medical staff from a nearby hospital quickly attended to them.

“On a day we were supposed to look our best, we were instead layering concealer to hide injuries, chopping our burnt hair, and colouring it to mask the damage,” they said.

They are now warning other couples who are planning a similar entrance activity.

“We hope our experience becomes a reminder for everyone to exercise caution and prioritise safety over trends,” they wrote on Instagram.

They said the “fun, trending Haldi entry” had left them scarred both literally and emotionally.

The couple thanked the doctors who quickly intervened and prevented more serious injuries.
