Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor found herself at the centre of attention during the recent Krishna Janmashtami celebrations in Mumbai. Invited as the chief guest, Janhvi joined the crowd in the festive spirit and even participated in the traditional Uttikotte Sambar. But a small moment from the program quickly went viral, her enthusiastic shout of �Bharat Mata Ki Jai.� While many cheered, a section of social media began trolling her, questioning the context and linking it to Independence Day.

Responding to the criticism, Janhvi gave her side of the story through Instagram. She clarified that the chant did not start with her. �The participants there first said �Bharat Mata Ki Jai�. Then I repeated after them. But some people cut out the video and made it look like only I was saying it. For me, loving my country is not tied to any one day. I can proudly say it every single day,� she wrote. Her words came with calmness but carried the weight of someone determined not to let trolls steal her spirit.

Interestingly, Janhvi also caught attention at the event by speaking in Marathi to connect with the local crowd. Fans present at the venue applauded her effort, calling it a warm gesture. While clearing the air about the controversy, she also reminded people about her upcoming film Param Sundari, releasing on August 29.

The romantic comedy pairs Janhvi with Sidharth Malhotra under Tushar Jalota�s direction. Janhvi plays a girl from Kerala, while Siddharth appears as a Delhi boy. The trailer has already struck a chord with audiences, especially with its catchy songs and heartfelt dialogue: �There are crores of people in this world, but true love lasts only for one.�
