Bollywood movies are more popular than most people think, and not just in the Indian community. 

In fact, a couple who boldly shared their love for a popular Bollywood love song went viral for featuring this song at their wedding. 

The bride, an influencer, and her groom played the song and accompanied it with a little performance. It had all the makings of a good Bollywood movie scene - one that Shahrukh Khan would be proud of.
