The word ‘dowry’ is not used in the video

However, Akshay has not used the word ‘dowry’ in the video, nor has he used the content of the video. The sending-off scene of a girl is shown in the video. It is seen that the father is crying while his daughter is leaving after marriage. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar, dressed as a police officer, arrives and alerts the father about the safety of his daughter and son-in-law. He says, ‘If you send off your daughter in such a car, then you will certainly cry’. Then, the father enumerates the merits of the car, but Akshay asks about 6 airbags. Eventually, the girl is sent off in a car with 6 airbags.
