Reasons Behind the Choice
Explaining why they chose to marry the same man, Saroj stated that the sisters had remained together all their lives and grew deeply distressed upon learning that their family intended to arrange separate marriages for them. "We have lived together since childhood and could not imagine living apart. When we realised that marriage would separate us, we even thought of ending our lives. Later, we decided that instead of dying, we would stay together and marry one man. We are all adults and took this decision willingly," she said.
According to the sisters, Vikas had been working as their cameraman for six months and frequently portrayed a husband in the online video content they produced together. Vikas noted that he understood their close bond and agreed to the arrangement. "I knew how deeply attached the three sisters were to each other. They repeatedly told me they did not want to live separately after marriage. I respected their emotions and agreed to marry them because I wanted them to stay together. We have taken this decision with mutual consent and hope people will respect our choice," he said.┬аAmroha: Youths Drink Alcohol While Hanging Out of Moving Car on Highway in Uttar Pradesh, Police Launch Probe After Video Goes Viral.

Public Reaction and Defense
Following criticism from certain local Hindu organisations and online users regarding social norms, the sisters released an additional video defending their choice. Referencing historical figures from Hindu mythology, they stated, "In ancient times, there was King Dasharatha, who had three queens. Was that an insult then?" They maintained that all four individuals involved are adults who acted of their own free will. Local authorities have monitored the situation following the online spread of the footage. Hasanpur Circle Officer Pankaj Tyagi confirmed that police had spoken with the individuals and their families.
"They told us they are adults and had performed the ceremony of their own free will. No formal complaint has been received so far while their parents have also not objected to their decision. If any complaint is filed or any cognisable offence is found, appropriate legal action will be taken in accordance with the law," Tyagi said.
