Aly Goni Responds to Online Criticism Over Ganpati Chant, Jasmin Bhasin Stands by Him

Television star Aly Goni recently found himself at the center of an online storm after a video showed him not chanting 'Ganpati Bappa Morya' during a celebration. The incident quickly escalated, leading to a barrage of hate comments directed at the actor, prompting him to address the controversy directly and eloquently.

Taking to social media, Aly Goni shared his perspective, emphasizing that his devotion is a personal matter that shouldn't be scrutinized or judged publicly.

“First of all, I wish you all a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi. May Ganpati Bappa bless all of you,” he began, setting a respectful tone. He then addressed the trolls, stating, “For those who are spreading hate, first of all, it's my wish, I say Allah hu Akbar, I say Ganpati Bappa Morya, I say Waheguru, and I say Jai Mata Di.” This powerful statement underscored his belief in the unity of faiths and his personal right to express his devotion as he sees fit.

Goni further elaborated on the issue, explaining that people often record and share videos without fully understanding the context.

“You only record a video for 10 seconds and share it. My intention has always been good, and my family knows that,” he asserted, highlighting the superficiality of online judgment based on brief clips. He also pointed out the hypocrisy, adding, “And those people who have been messaging me and commenting, you all do 'Ganpati Bappa Morya' for only 10 days, and you forget it later.

I remember God every day.” This comment subtly challenged the sincerity of his critics, implying their devotion might be seasonal compared to his consistent faith.

Standing firmly by Aly’s side, his girlfriend and fellow actress Jasmin Bhasin also voiced her support. She reposted Aly's message on her Instagram Story, adding a simple yet impactful caption: “Love you.” This gesture not only showed her unwavering affection but also served as a clear message to the detractors that she fully supports Aly’s stance and respects his personal beliefs.

The controversy sheds light on the increasing scrutiny celebrities face regarding their personal and religious practices, often fueled by short social media clips taken out of context.

Aly Goni's response, backed by Jasmin Bhasin's support, serves as a reminder that faith is deeply personal and should not be a tool for online division or judgment.
