Rakesh Roshan Upset at Transgender Performers During Nephew Ishan Roshan’s Wedding

Bollywood is celebrating a new addition to the Roshan family as Ishan Roshan, son of Rajesh Roshan, tied the knot with Aishwarya Singh on 23 December in Mumbai. However, a viral video from the wedding shows Rakesh Roshan, uncle of the groom, visibly upset when transgender performers tried to intercept the newlyweds at the family home.

Incident at the Wedding Gate
After the wedding celebrations, the newlywed couple returned home, where transgender performers had gathered at the gate, as is customary in some Indian weddings to bless or entertain the couple. In one video, Rakesh Roshan can be seen speaking to the performers, clearly displaying frustration on his face. The groom, Ishan Roshan, and his father Rajesh Roshan were also present at the scene.

Aishwarya Singh Stopped at the Gate
Another viral clip shows Aishwarya Singh stepping down from the bus in her bridal lehenga, ready to enter the house, but being intercepted by the performers who attempted to bless her through ritual gestures. The incident quickly caught the attention of fans online.

Family’s Response to Paparazzi
Despite the commotion, Aishwarya and the groom’s aunt were cordial toward the paparazzi, posing for pictures as the media captured the moments.

Public Reactions
Social media users had mixed reactions to the incident. Some speculated about the performers’ intentions, with comments like:

• “They must have asked for ten lakh rupees because the family earns crores.”
• “Blessings? More like extortion.”
• “They are running a racket in every city. The government should regulate this.”

Others humorously commented on the Roshan family’s hair, noting:

• “Everyone in the family is bald. Even the groom. How does Hrithik have so much hair?”
• “If all the men are bald, there’s definitely suspicion about Hrithik’s hair too.”

The wedding festivities also included lively performances by Hrithik Roshan and his sons Rehan and Riddhan, along with girlfriend Saba Azad, highlighting the joyous celebrations despite the brief tension at the gate.
