Shutting down all trolls, Janhvi took to her Instagram account on August 17 to share the full video from the event. In the clip, BJP MLA Ram Kadam could be heard chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and Janhvi merely followed him. The actress shared the video along with 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 emoji) 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).” Janhvi's clarification is now doing the rounds on social media.
