He requested the audience at the event to join him in chanting `India` to celebrate the big moment.
Janhvi and Varun celebrate Asia Cup 2025 victory
Actress Janhvi Kapoor took to her Instagram handle to share the video of the team of the film celebrating India`s Asia Cup win with the audience. In the video, we can see Varun walking towards Janhvi and telling her “now you say it”. Janhvi was confused for a bit before she understood what Varun was referring to. He was prompting her to chant `Bharat Mata Ki Jai`. Earlier, Janhvi was trolled for chanting it during a Dahi Handi festivity in the city. Back then, she had clarified that the clips doing the rounds was edited and did not show the full picture. This time, Janhvi decided to share the complete video before netizens troll her for saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai at a garba event.
Sharing the video, Janhvi wrote, “Before you’ll edit the vid and post out of context but we won! Sanskari style celebration!!!”
When Janhvi got trolled for saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai
During the promotions of her film Param Sundari in August, Janhvi attended a Dahi handi event in Mumbai. Before breaking the customary handi, Janhvi was heard chanting `Bharat Mata Ki Jai`. The clip soon went viral, with the actress getting trolled for raising that slogan instead of Jai Shri Krishna on the occasion. Janhvi has responded by sharing a longer video from the event.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Janhvi had shared a short clip from the celebration, showing the moment she was asked to break the handi. In the video, someone in the crowd was first heard saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai, after which Janhvi repeated it. Clarifying the context, she wrote in the caption, “Just for context—full video lol. Unke bolne ke baad nahi bolti toh problem, aur bolo toh bhi video ko kaat ke meme material (laughing face emoticon). (If I didn’t say the slogan after him, it would be a problem, and now that I did, they cut the video to make meme material).”
The actress further asserted that she would proudly chant the slogan every day. She added, “Waise sirf Janmashtami ke din nahi, roz bolungi Bharat Mata ki Jaiiiiii! (folded hands, Indian flag emoticons). (Not just on Janmashtami, I will say Bharat Mata Ki Jai every single day).”
