Asoka makeup trend
[edit]The song gained international popularity in April 2024 via TikTok and other short-form video platforms such as Instagram Reels[4] through the Asoka makeup trend also referred to as the Asoka makeup challenge. Makeup artists and internet personalities would lip sync to the lyrics while slowly transforming into an Indian bride, often interspersed with different styles of Indian makeup, looks and clothing, including dressing in the style of Kareena Kapoor's character in the 2001 film.[5] It would culminate in a full reveal of the finished Indian bridal look.[5] The trend was initiated by Indonesian TikTok creator, Sita Suwarnadwipa where it then spread across TikTok and then to other short-form video platforms.[6]
