Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for her much-awaited movie Param Sundari, also starring Sidharth Malhotra. She recently became a topic of discussion after her appearance at a Dahi Handi event in Mumbai, where a video of her chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ went viral. In the video, she is seen breaking the matki with a coconut, while shouting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. This drew mixed reactions from netizens, with some trolling her for mixing up the sentiments of two different occasions, Independence Day and Krishna Janmashtami. Amid the trolling, Janhvi has finally broken her silence by offering full context to the viral video.

Janhvi Kapoor took to her Instagram stories and shared a full video, where BJP MLA Ram Kadam can be heard saying “Bolo Bharat Mata Ki Jai." He was followed by the actress repeating the same chant while breaking the matki. Setting the record straight, Janhvi wrote, "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. (If I didn’t say it after they did, that would’ve been a problem. And if I do say it, the video gets edited and turned into meme material. By the way, not just on Janmashtami, I’ll say Bharat Mata Ki Jai every single day)."
