Roka Confusion: Aishwarya Rai Didn't Know What Was Happening
25 Aug
Summary
- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was unaware of the roka tradition before her engagement.
- Abhishek Bachchan's family arrived unexpectedly for the roka ceremony.
- Her father joined the roka ceremony via a phone call from out of town.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has shared memories of her surprise roka ceremony with Abhishek Bachchan. The Bollywood star admitted she was unfamiliar with the tradition, being from a South Indian background where such customs were not prevalent. She recalled Abhishek's sudden call informing her that his family was on their way to her home for the roka.
The spontaneous nature of the event meant that Aishwarya and her mother were still processing what was happening when the Bachchan family arrived. Adding to the unique circumstances, Aishwarya's father was out of town and joined the ceremony over a phone call. This marked a significant, albeit unplanned, formalization of their engagement.
This roka ceremony took place before their widely publicized wedding on April 20, 2007. The couple had previously starred in several films together, and their relationship had garnered considerable public attention. They later welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011.
