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?')"
