Delhi Couple Burned After Hydrogen Balloons Ignite During Haldi Entry

The now-deleted video spurred warnings to avoid hydrogen balloons, prioritising safety over viral wedding stunts.

Overview

  • The balloons ignited when a colour or spark gun was accidentally aimed upward during the planned grand entry, causing a brief explosion.
  • The bride, Tanyaa, suffered burns to her face and back, while the groom, Kushagra, sustained burns to his fingers and back, with both reporting singed hair.
  • Family doctors and a nearby hospital provided immediate care, and the couple went ahead with their varmala ceremony later that day.
  • The original Instagram reel was removed, yet reposted clips on platforms like X and YouTube kept the incident in wide circulation.
  • Social posts and coverage highlighted hydrogen’s flammability and urged the use of inert helium for balloons, with no official inquiry reported so far.
