A recent video has gone viral on social media, adding a humorous twist to the traditional Karva Chauth celebration. In the clip, a woman shares a hilarious story with her husband about the origins of the festival, leaving viewers in splits.
The video shows the wife asking her husband for a new saree as a Karva Chauth gift. In response, the husband playfully challenges her to explain why the festival is celebrated. Without missing a beat, the woman spins a funny tale, stating that one day, Goddess Lakshmi’s vehicle, an owl, felt neglected because people prayed to the goddess but ignored the owl. To fix the situation, Goddess Lakshmi decreed that, every year, eleven days before Diwali, people would worship the owl. According to her, this is why Karva Chauth is celebrated.
Her punchline comes when she jokingly compares husbands to owls, implying that they are the ones worshipped by their wives during Karva Chauth. Offended but amused, the husband walks away, while the wife bursts into laughter. The playful banter struck a chord with viewers and the video has since garnered 11.7 million views and 165,000 likes on Instagram, where it was shared by the handle @surbhi_hunny with the caption, “Tag your ullu” (owl).

In another viral Karva Chauth-related video, a woman performed an eye-catching stunt during the moon-sighting ritual. She surprised everyone by suddenly jumping onto her husband’s thigh, using one leg to grip his neck for support. The video left viewers amazed, with some speculating about its authenticity, as the stunt seemed impossible to perform. While many praised the humour, others criticised the woman for her actions, deeming it inappropriate during a sacred ritual. Watch the viral video here.
Despite mixed reactions, the clip garnered millions of views and sparked widespread discussion.
