Unique Mehndi 'QR Code' Video Goes Viral On Raksha Bandhan
To the man's surprise, the QR code works as he is directed to a payment interface.
Rakhi, also known as Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated in several parts of India. On this auspicious occasion, women dress up in traditional attire and apply mehndi on their hands before tying rakhi around their brother’s wrist. After the ritual, brothers give their sisters some gift or money. Now a video of unique mehndi QR code that makes the gift-giving process easier has gone viral on the internet.
Shared on Instagram by username @yash_mehndi, the video opens to show a QR code design mehndi created on a woman's hand. A person then takes out his phone and scans the code to make the payment. To his surprise, the QR code works as the man is directed to a payment interface.
However, there is a catch. On closely examining the process, the person using the mobile phone isn't scanning a genuine QR code but a video is playing on the mobile phone of the woman's brother, where the code is already visible.
This is also clarified in the caption of the post that reads, "It's just some content I edited. This is a payment transaction screen recording with my mehndi video to make it real. Mehndi QR code cannot be used for payments."
Since being shared, the post has amassed 1,050,826 likes and tons of comments.
