Janhvi Kapoor, currently promoting her upcoming film Param Sundari, found herself in the middle of a social media stir after a humorous mishap at a Dahi Handi celebration in Mumbai on Saturday, coinciding with Janmashtami. The event drew a large crowd, creating a chaotic, mob-like scene as the actor made her way through fans towards her car.
Janhvi Kapoor At Dahi Handi Celebration
Paparazzi videos shared on Instagram showed Janhvi dressed in a light yellow traditional outfit, adorned with jewellery, as she participated in the festivities. She addressed the crowd in Marathi, wishing everyone a happy Janmashtami and promoting her film, which releases on August 29. During the event, she even broke the Dahi Handi pot with a coconut from the stage.
However, what quickly caught attention was her choice of words while breaking the pot. Instead of chanting something traditional like “Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki,” Janhvi said, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.” A woman standing behind her in a saree was also seen making a surprising expression after that.
Netizens React To The Mishap
As soon as the video surfaced, social media users flooded the comments with funny and critical reactions.
