BHOPAL (Times of India) : A 27-year-old groom collapsed and died while still sitting on a mare in MP's Sheopur district on Friday night.

The groom, Pradeep Jat, danced at his baraat and climbed back on his horse but immediately slumped against it. Doctors suspect he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Pradeep's last rites were performed on Saturday.

Just a week ago, a 23-year-old woman died while dancing at her cousin's sangeet in Vidisha district.

Wedding videos show Pradeep arriving at the bride's house with his baraat around 11pm. He was warmly welcomed. After the traditional rituals, he struck the door with a 'toran' and then began dancing to DJ music. After a while, he got back on the mare but began to lean on it, as if fatigued.

Initially, guests assumed he was exhausted from dancing, but when they saw he was unconscious, they immediately brought him down and began administering CPR.

He was rushed to a hospital, but doctors declared him dead on arrival. The bride fainted upon hearing the news. Pradeep was a former district president of NSUI.

Poor thing. May the time heal and give strength to the bride and his family. It must have been exhausting to have the wedding celebrations non stop for a several days as it usually is the case in Indian weddings.

He probably realised what he had done when he got to the bride's house. All his song dance will come to an end once you tie the knot!

The bride will have a tough time in finding a suitable partner again as people in the village will think she is under unfavorable observance of planets. This is typical Mentality.

Should be "Groom dies on horseback ..." However, the lesson here is 'never mount your horse after dancing at baraat.'

Horoscopes would have been matched by an incompetent astrologer. Planetary positions would have not been analysed properly. They were not destined to be husband and wife. As they were going to lead a married life, strong planetary forces would have impacted the union and broken it.

Congratulations on keeping the stone-age traditions alive! Yes, it was definitely the planets - not any congenital heart condition.

Many will disagree with me, the "Evil Eye" plays a long way, very religion warns about it.
