Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebration speech may have aimed to be a heartfelt declaration of love for her fiancé Anant Ambani, but it's garnered a different kind of attention online.
A viral video has set the internet abuzz, highlighting an uncanny resemblance between Merchant's words and a monologue delivered by Susan Sarandon in the 2004 film "Shall We Dance?"
The clip, featuring a split-screen with Merchant's speech playing alongside Sarandon's iconic "Witness to Life" scene, has amassed over 50,000 likes and comments on social media handles X and instagram. The spotlight on the similarities has sparked a lively debate, with netizens divided.
Some have rallied to Merchant's defense, suggesting the movie scene might be a personal favorite and the dialogue a cherished sentiment.
However, others can't help but raise an eyebrow at the striking parallels.
A user noted, "Ha ha ha. That's quite a catch by the internet. After making the entire world feel inferior with their ridiculous expense, we finally realise that Ambani family is one of our own!"
The debate extends beyond the alleged plagiarism. The chemistry between Merchant and Ambani has also come under scrutiny, with some viewers finding it reminiscent of a formal debate rather than a display of romantic connection.
"Maybe that's her favorite movie and her favorite dialogue," one user offered with a hint of amusement.
"The thing that's bothering me is not her speech but the chemistry bw the two. It feels like a debate competition," observed another.
Whether it's an innocent tribute or an oversight, Merchant's speech has undeniably become a social media talking point.
However, one thing's for sure, the internet is watching – and sometimes, remembering lines from a well-loved movie.
