Aryan Khan’s fun ‘shoe-stealing’ moment at wedding goes viral
Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has once again grabbed social media attention, this time not for his filmmaking work but for a viral video from a wedding ceremony.
The incident took place during a friend’s wedding where Aryan Khan participated in the traditional South Asian ritual of “joota churai” (shoe-stealing), turning it into a highly entertaining and dramatic moment that amused guests.
A video shared by the wedding organizers on Instagram shows Aryan Khan firmly holding onto the groom’s shoes, refusing to give them up despite repeated attempts by the bride’s side. At one point, he nearly loses balance but still manages to keep hold of the shoes, adding to the comedic chaos.
Dressed in jeans, a T-shirt, and a brown jacket, Aryan is seen confidently moving around while guarding the shoes, turning the light-hearted tradition into what guests jokingly called a “mini war.”
The caption of the video humorously described the moment as a “full-blown battle,” with organizers noting that when the groom’s best friend is a Bollywood personality, the shoe-stealing ritual becomes an unforgettable event.
The clip quickly went viral, with social media users reacting enthusiastically. Some expressed surprise, while others joked about the intensity of the situation, calling it more dramatic than expected. Many fans also praised Aryan Khan’s fun and energetic personality.
It is worth noting that joota churai is a traditional wedding custom in South Asia where the bride’s side hides the groom’s shoes and demands gifts or money in exchange for their return.
Aryan Khan, who recently made his directorial debut in a web series, continues to work on new projects, but this viral wedding moment has once again put him in the social media spotlight.
