Janhvi Kapoor found herself trending online after a surprising moment during a Janmashtami Dahi Handi celebration in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, on Saturday. While breaking the traditional matki alongside BJP MLA Ram Kadam, Janhvi smashed the pot with a coconut and enthusiastically shouted, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai!”
The crowd cheered, but the clip quickly went viral on social media, with netizens pointing out her unusual choice of chant. Many joked that the actress had confused Independence Day with Janmashtami, as the patriotic slogan is typically reserved for national occasions.
