A video of a bride driving a motorcycle to her 'holud' (pre-wedding) ceremony recently went viral on social media in Bangladesh triggering mixed reactions.

Adorned in a light green kameez complete with bangles dangling from her hands, bride Farhana Afroze Dreamy, an MBA student of Daffodil International University, was seen leading a convoy of bikes being driven by her siblings and friends as they headed to the ceremony.

The video received compliments from many and people praised Farhana for breaking stereotypes.

Many others, however, chose to criticise her for abandoning traditional norms. Some others lamented the absence of a helmet.

According to reports on other media outlets, Farhana has been riding a bike since 2007 and had always planned to do something different for her wedding. This is why she chose to ride a bike to both her holud and wedding ceremony.
