On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, Ankita Lokhande, like many TV stars, welcomed Ganpati Bappa into her home and shared glimpses of her celebration on social media. However, a particular video from her celebration, featuring actress Nia Sharma, has caught the attention of social media users. In the video, both Ankita and Nia are seen dancing together, which has sparked mixed reactions online.
While some viewers enjoyed the festive spirit, others felt that the devotion associated with Ganesh Puja was missing. A section of users criticized the dance, calling it a “tamasha” (spectacle) in the name of Ganpati celebration. One user commented, “It feels like a show, not a pooja for Bappa,” while another remarked, “This seems more like street dancing than a respectful celebration.”
Some users even brought up Ankita’s late ex, Sushant Singh Rajput, saying, “Sushant must be watching everything.” The video also led to some harsh remarks, with people calling their dance an “overacting shop” and accusing them of lacking devotion.
However, amidst the criticism, many fans jumped to their defense. Supporters emphasized that it’s their way of celebrating and that there’s no harm in expressing joy during such a festive occasion. One comment read, “If they are happy welcoming Bappa, why does anyone have a problem with it?” Another praised Ankita for always maintaining a positive attitude, adding, “She always has a smile on her face, which is wonderful.”
As the debate continues, it reflects how public figures’ personal celebrations can quickly turn into topics of online discussion, with people having varied opinions on how festivals should be celebrated.
