Daijiworld Media Network- Mumbai

Mumbai, Aug 17: Actress Janhvi Kapoor, who is busy promoting her upcoming film Param Sundari, found herself at the centre of online trolling after an unusual chant at a Dahi Handi celebration in Ghatkopar.

Kapoor was invited as a special guest at MLA Ram Kadam’s grand Dahi Handi event on Janmashtami. Amid cheers from a massive crowd, the actress broke the traditional matki with a coconut. However, instead of the customary “Jai Shri Krishna” chant associated with the festival, she shouted “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.

The moment, caught on video, spread quickly across social media, leaving netizens amused. Many wondered if Kapoor had mistaken the Janmashtami festivities for an Independence Day event.

While some defended her choice of slogan as harmless, social media was flooded with witty remarks. One user commented, “Happy Janma-Swatantra Day, y’all,” while another quipped, “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav 2.0.” A humorous post read, “Achha hua Amrendra Bahubali nahi boli,” while another remarked, “Sab ke gale tak ‘Jai Shri Krishna’ aa gaya tha, tabhi script palat di.”

Though the actress herself has not responded to the trolling, fans pointed out that she may have chosen the slogan spontaneously to avoid controversy.
