Be Our Pondati: Video by IIT Madras students about arranged marriages is hilarious & goes viral

New Delhi: An over three-minute-long video song titled “Be Our Pondati”, about arranged marriages in India has gone viral on social media. The video, a hilarious parody of singer Carly Rae Jepsen song 'Call Me Maybe', has been prepared by three IIT Madras students -Asmita Ghosh, Anukripa Elango and Krupa Varghese-and posted on Youtube. In Tamil, Pondati meaning wife. The video features Varghese as a typical conservative Indian mother looking for a ‘tall thin and homely’ wife for her son. The video was made for a college contest but surprisingly has gone viral on the net. Watch video: Video courtesy-Asmita Ghosh/YouTube
