Here's what happened at the Dahi Handi event

Janhvi Kapoor attended MLA Ram Kadam's Dahi Handi event in Ghatkopar, Mumbai. When the actress was asked to break the matki using the coconut, she did it while shouting, "Bharat Mata Ki Jay." Her chant left everyone wondering if she was attending Dahi Handi festivities or an Independence Day celebration.
