Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has come forward to defend his son-in-law Shane Gregoire after a video of him getting emotional during his wedding to Aaliyah Kashyap went viral. Aaliyah, a content creator and YouTuber, tied the knot with her long-time partner Shane in a dreamy ceremony on December 11, 2024, surrounded by friends and family.
The video in question captured Shane tearing up as Aaliyah, adorned in a pink floral lehenga, walked down the aisle under a flower canopy with her bridesmaids, including Khushi Kapoor and Sakshi Shivdasani.
The heartwarming moment received a mixed response on social media. While many applauded Shane’s emotional display as a sign of genuine love, some criticized him, labeling the gesture as attention-seeking or trendy. Addressing the backlash, Anurag Kashyap took to social media to share his perspective. Praising Shane for his sensitivity and deep love for Aaliyah, he wrote, “My son-in-law is just the most sensitive human being, and how he loves my daughter is so special. Everyone who thinks it’s a trend or he is doing it to go viral can take a hike. I couldn’t have wished for a better son-in-law. I am not half as good as Shane is to Aaliyah.”
Anurag’s heartfelt response struck a chord with netizens, many of whom applauded his comments. One user wrote, “Congratulations, god bless them,” while another commented, “So happy for you. Hate is from people who fail to experience this love. Ignore them!”
The wedding was attended by several notable names from Bollywood, including Khushi Kapoor, Vikramaditya Motwane, Imtiaz Ali, and Kalki Koechlin. Aaliyah and Shane’s love story began on a dating app and has since captured the hearts of their fans.
