An unanticipated shock actually turned a couple's lovely getaway into a terrifying encounter while they were on their honeymoon in Manali, Himachal Pradesh.
 
The couple's encounter was documented in a now-viral video by content producer Smita Acharya, which has received 2.7 million views. The pair can be seen in the video entering their hotel room, which has rose petals spread across the bed.  The wife quickly takes the petals and says, "End," while her husband quips, "End, Tata, Bye-Bye," making the romantic gesture short-lived.

The headline reads, "We came to manali for romance, but even holding hands gives us an electric shock."

Many viewers who had gone through similar things, especially on cold-weather honeymoons, found resonance in the film.  From "This happened to me on my honeymoon also" to "This happened to me in a shimla resort," other people left comments asking, "But why? Could someone please elaborate?
 
Static electricity, which is common in colder climates, is the cause of these startling encounters.  When electric charges build up on a surface and stay there until they are released through a medium, static electricity is created.
 
This charge is produced by friction between things, such as while walking in wool or synthetic clothing, which makes it easier for electrons to move between them.  Low humidity and cold, dry climes are perfect for the accumulation of static electricity.  As a result, the accumulated charge released when the couple contacted metal items or each other, producing a momentary spark or shock—a feeling that many people encounter in the winter.
