Google India and Jeevansathi recently teamed up for a light-hearted Instagram post that has gone viral for its take on sweets served at weddings. The focus? The beloved Indian dessert, jalebi.
In the post, Google questioned how jalebi was invented. Jeevansathi didn't have an answer and chose to play around.
Staying true to its matchmaking theme, the matrimonial site avoided a straight answer and instead replied with a quirky remark, "Jalebi ka pata nahi, hum shaadi ka laddu khilate hai (Don't know about jalebi, but we feed wedding laddu)".
The fun exchange between the two sites quickly caught the attention of social media users, especially due to the mention of loved Indian sweets like "laddu” and "jalebi".
