In the video, he was seen coming off his hide and appearing in front of guest, and the camera recorded people's reactions. At start, the footage showed a seating arrangement where many women were seated to witness the pre-wedding function. Seconds later, Jacky made his entry, quite silently.
With dyed hair and a monkey face mask, the bare-breasted monkey-man entered the premises in a typical pose. He straightly went towards a saree-clad woman who was engrossed in the ceremony and initially ignored the presence of Jacky around. Seconds later, when the female turned around, she screamed out loud. She spotted the monkey-man closely looking at her, which made her fear. However, she learned about the prank and smiled soon. Jacky walked away from the site after managing to scare the woman out of fun, and learning that she's doing fine later.
