Aryan Khan Defends Groom’s Shoe in Viral Joota Churai Video

The planner-shot clip spotlights a playful ritual that reveals a rare light side of the first-time director.

Overview

  • The video, shared by luxury wedding planner Zesst Events and widely reposted on Wednesday and Thursday, shows Aryan Khan gripping best friend Maahir Mehta’s shoe as guests try to snatch it.
  • Footage captures him nearly losing his balance, tussling with the bride’s side, and finally sprinting away with the shoe in a spirited finish.
  • The clip comes from Mehta’s wedding to Rhea Nadkarni, and Zesst’s on-screen text framed the tussle as a "full-blown mini war" filled with laughter and chaos.
  • Free Press Journal reported an apparent edit to the original Instagram post, noting the viral version clearly shows Aryan’s face while the planner’s upload did not.
  • Joota churai is a North Indian wedding game where the bride’s family tries to steal the groom’s shoes and the groom’s side guards them, and social posts reacted to this bout with amused comments from viewers who first thought it was a real fight.
