The bride, Deepa Valecha, from Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district has become the talk of the town after she decided to ride a horse during her wedding procession to the groom’s residence instead. 

Deepa, who is the only daughter of the Valecha family fulfilled her wish to ride a horse on her wedding day, in support of her family, to the groom’s house in Kota. The event was not only special for the Valecha family but also for the society as Deepa, on this joyous occasion, gave out a strong message. 

The bride’s wish was to give a reality check to the society that daughters are not a burden on anyone.
