Colour bombs, often used at weddings and celebrations, are designed to release coloured powder or smoke for visual effects. However, malfunctions like this highlight the risks associated with their usage.

The couple mentioned that they had also planned to include their baby in the shoot, which could have worsened the situation. The incident has sparked concern over the safety of such decorative devices, with many urging caution while using them at events.

Authorities have not yet commented on the mishap, but the incident serves as a reminder of the need for strict safety measures at celebrations.
