In a part-hilarious, part-concerning incident, a groom from Gujarat reportedly received lemons as gifts from guests as the prices of the sour fruit continue to soar. The incident was reported by news agency ANI, and images shared by news agency show groom holding two boxes of the now elusive fruit. The incident was reported from Dharoji, Rajkot where a group of friends decided to sweeten the Haldi ceremony of their groom friend and gifted him boxes of lemons.

In a ANI report, the groom’s friend Dinesh was quoted saying, “At this time, the prices of lemons in the state and the country have gone up a lot. There is a lot of need for lemons this season. That’s why, I have presented lemons.”

Lemon, the humble fruit that has been used for centuries to make juices in brutal Indian summers, is not so humble any more. The fruit is slowly slipping away from the grips of a common Indian man with price touching as high as 250/kg.
