In most Indian weddings, the 'Joota Chupai' ritual ends with the groom opening his wallet. But Vicky Kaushal's wedding to Katrina Kaif had a twist nobody expected. As the actor once revealed on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', it was the bride herself who saved him from paying her sisters.
What Is 'Joota Chupai'?
'Joota Chupai' is a fun North Indian wedding custom. When the groom removes his shoes before entering the mandap, the bride's sisters, cousins and friends hide them, while the groom's side tries to protect them. After the pheras, the groom usually pays a neg, a gift of money, to get his shoes back. The playful bargaining is often one of the most entertaining moments of the wedding.
Vicky's Side of the Story
The 'Chhaava' actor described how it all played out. "The moment I was going to the mandap, Katrina's sisters came and started pulling my shoes; even my brothers were like, nahi lene denge (We will not let you take them). But I told them, Le lo jo lena hai (Take whatever you want), and they hid the shoes somewhere. By the time our pheras got over, Katrina wanted to click pictures before sunset. But then the sun was going down and the groom didn't have his shoes. Uss time Katrina ne sabko daant lagayi, joota kahan hai iska? (Katrina scolded everyone, 'Where are his shoes?')"
Katrina's sisters had reportedly asked for a hefty amount, but in the end, the shoes came back without Vicky paying any neg at all.
Why the Story Wins Hearts
The anecdote shows a side of Katrina that fans rarely get to see. Known for being private and composed, she turned into a practical bride on a mission, more concerned about perfect sunset photos than wedding games. And by stepping in for her husband, she gave Vicky one of the rare 'Joota Chupai' stories where the groom walks away with his shoes and his savings.
A Love Story Fans Still Follow
After dating privately for some time, Vicky and Katrina married on December 9, 2021, in an intimate ceremony in Rajasthan, following Hindu traditions. Their wedding was among the most talked-about celebrity weddings of that year.
The couple began a new chapter when they welcomed their first child, son Vihaan, on November 7, 2025.
Why It Matters
Old wedding stories like this keep resurfacing because they make stars feel relatable. Every family has its own 'Joota Chupai' memory, and hearing that even Bollywood weddings come with sibling bargaining and last-minute chaos makes the couple feel closer to their fans.
What Comes Next
With Vihaan's first birthday approaching on November 7 and their wedding anniversary in December, fans are hoping for more glimpses of the family. On the work front, Vicky will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War' alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, releasing on January 21, 2027.
