The rokha is the initial step in the wedding process, and is an occasion for the families and the bride and groom to gather together and agree on the match, prior to a formal engagement.

A video was also posted on Instagram by DJ K Square, which briefly shows Sidhu with Singh, the latter in a bhangra pose.

That was captioned: “We've done house parties before but this one is definitely special. Another Engagement tonight alongside @djssquared@djksquare for @jagmeetsingh and @ginu_sidhu.”

That video was reported to have been shot as a banquet hall in Brampton, the suburb of Toronto where Singh lives.

 CBC quoted a spokesperson for the NDP leader as saying the event was a “celebration of families meeting for the first time.”

Sidhu is involved with the fashion firm Jangiiro, which is described on its Tumblr page as “a new age Punjabi clothing line that believes in customising unique garments for each client. inspired by vintage Punjab.”
