Katrina Kaif, during the promotions of her film ‘Phone Bhoot’ on The Kapil Sharma Show, had opened up about the Indian tradition of ‘joota chupai’ at her wedding with Vicky Kaushal. Now the actor, who appeared on the show to promote his Disney Plus Hotstar film, ‘Govinda Naam Mera’, narrated the entire ordeal of the ceremony and added that Katrina saved him from paying a hefty amount to her sisters to get back his shoes as a part of the ritual.
During the episode, the host Kapil Sharma asked Vicky that the ritual of ‘joota chupai’ must have cost him a lot of money since Katrina has six sisters, to which he quipped, “Mere do bhai hain Ludhiana se jinhone merko bola tension na lo, hum sambbhaal lenge (Two of my brothers from Ludhiana told me that they will take care of it). 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 won’t let you take them).’ But I told them, ‘Le lo jo lena hai’ and they hid the shoes somewhere.”

Vicky added, “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?’ (At that time Katrina lost her cool and scolded everyone asking for my shoes).”
The actor further revealed that since his brothers had no clue where the shoes were, the actress asked her sisters to get his shoes. As per Vicky, Katrina told them, “Merko nahi pata paison ka, joote laao (I don’t care about the money, get his shoes.).” An elated Vicky concluded, “Free mein aaye hain joote aur chadhaye gaye hain (They returned the shoes for free).”
