समर्पण तो अच्छा है कि दोस्तों को मछली नही मिली तो दूल्हा नाराज़ हो गया। गोपालगंज से देवरिया के खुखुन्दू इलाके के एक गांव में आई थी बारात। जयमाल के बाद दूल्हे का हंगामा, बारात वापस लौटी। लेकिन ये सोचिए कि जो मछली के लिए दुलहन को छोड़ सकता है, उसकी सोच कितनी छोटी होगी?#Deoria pic.twitter.com/juSqsBGsbG
