A video is going viral on social media in which an Indian-Canadian couple is talking about the misconceptions about each other’s culture. The couple, popularly known as Indian Canadian Couple on Instagram, shared a video in which they talked about each other’s lifestyle, culture and misconceptions about the countries. “The lies we were fed before marriage. Real love wins over stereotypes,” she captioned the post, which has been viewed more than 10.7 million times on the platform.
The video begins with the woman, Danielle, saying, “Before I married my Indian husband, people told me that Indians have two wives.” She says that people told her that Indians do not use deodorant. She was also warned about the possibility of rape in India.
A man named Ekansh says that before marriage, people had warned him that Danielle would divorce him. He learned from people that “white people treat their parents badly”. He concluded by saying that people also told him that his Canadian wife would take all his money and leave him empty-handed.

Meanwhile, earlier this month a Canadian citizen had sparked controversy with a video claiming that several pregnant Indian women were traveling to Canada specifically to give birth. Chad Eros alleged that these women were taking advantage of the Canadian healthcare system, using it to obtain citizenship for their children, and potentially sponsoring their families to join them in the future. Has been.
In her post she shared that a nurse informed her relative that the maternity wards were full of Indian women who had come to Canada to give birth. While Mr. Eros acknowledged that Canadian hospitals should provide equal care to all patients, he feels Indian immigrants are occupying many beds in maternity wards.
The video received mixed reactions, with some supporting her claims and others defending the women and criticizing the narrative.
