Mumbai: Janhvi Kapoor clapped back at trolls after a video of her chanting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" at a Janmashtami event in Mumbai went viral. The moment quickly spread across social media, with users turning it into meme material.
The actress attended a Dahi Handi celebration in Ghatkopar, where she broke the 'matki' with a coconut and raised the chant.
Soon after, some social media users mocked her, joking she had mixed up Janmashtami with Independence Day.
Janhvi posted a cryptic but bold reply on her Instagram story, saying, "Just for context, full video lol. Unke bolne ke baad nahi bolti toh problem, aur bolo toh bhi video ko kaat ke meme material. Waise sirf Janmashtami ke din nahi, roz bolungi Bharat mata ki jaiiiii.”
