The Ramayana team, including Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, attended a Dussehra event in Kolkata on October 20. Ranbir spoke about the victory of good over evil, but a gaffe in his speech has gone viral on social media.
What did Ranbir Kapoor say in his Dusshera speech?
Ranbir Kapoor said in Hindi, "My greetings. It gives me great pleasure, and it’s an honour to celebrate Dussehra with all of you in the holy land of Kolkata. I thank the CM and every present here from my heart,” he said, with those present on stage clapping.
He then made the mix-up, saying, "Dussehra reminds us of something beautiful. That no matter how strong evil is, at the end, it is goodness and honesty that perishes."
"So, spread love and happiness. And always try to walk a righteous path. I wish you all a happy Dussehra from the team of Ramayana," Ranbir further added.
