Mumbai was alive with festive spirit this past Saturday, August 16. The reason? Krishna Janmashtami, a big celebration for many. A special Dahi Handi event brought extra excitement to the city. Guess who popped up there? None other than actress Janhvi Kapoor. She’s been in the headlines lately, gearing up for her new movie, ‘Param Sundari.’
Janhvi Kapoor arrived at the Dahi Handi event as part of the Janmashtami festivities. She was dressed beautifully in traditional attire. Her presence added a special touch to the celebrations. She joined in the fun, wishing fans well during the festival.
A Festive Splash
At the event, Janhvi didn’t just stand around. She stepped up and bravely broke the Dahi Handi pot. She rallied the crowd with a powerful chant: “Bharat Mata ki Jai!” This cheer means “Victory to Mother India.” She folded her hands, thanking everyone there for their support. Janhvi looked sweet and lovely in her traditional outfit. A video of her breaking the pot quickly went viral on Instagram, earning many likes.
A Different Kind of Stir
But the day wasn’t all cheers and smiles. Janhvi also spoke to the people gathered. She chose to address her fans in Marathi. This choice, however, stirred up some trouble online. You see, there’s been an ongoing debate about the Marathi language in the region. Because of this, some people online got upset. They started saying Janhvi should work in Marathi movies instead of Hindi ones. One person wrote, “She didn’t make a Marathi film, but she’s promoting it in Marathi.” Another user quipped, “How many days did she practice to speak like this?”
A Hectic Exit
Later, as Janhvi was leaving the event, she was surrounded by a massive crowd of fans. The situation quickly turned chaotic. She had to push and shove to reach her car, looking visibly stressed on her way out. Despite the mix of cheers and online chatter, Janhvi is set to star alongside Siddharth Malhotra in her upcoming film, ‘Param Sundari.’
