Aly Goni and Jasmin Bhasin’s interfaith relationship has once again become a topic of discussion. Recently, Aly found himself at the center of online trolling related to religion. In India, where faith is deeply intertwined with culture, every action tied to religious identity often draws attention. The latest controversy stemmed from a video in which Aly did not chant “Ganpati Bappa Morya” along with other devotees. Once the clip surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral, prompting a flood of negative comments directed at the Khatron Ke Khiladi: Made in India star.

Aly Goni reacted to trolling over Jasmin Bhasin’s abaya video

Aly Goni recently spoke about the trolling Jasmin Bhasin faced for wearing an abaya during their 2023 visit to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi. In a conversation with FilmyGyan, he explained that the controversy resurfaced after he was targeted for not chanting ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Aly dismissed the false claims suggesting Jasmin had been forced to convert and clarified that both Jasmin and his sister wore the garment as it was a requirement for entering the mosque.

“Jasmin aur meri behen jab wahan gaye the toh unhe enter nahi karne diya, toh unhone paas se abaya kharida, vo pehna aur enter kiya. Ab usko ye bana diya hai ki main Jasmin ko Madina lekar gaya. Toh ab aap dekho, maine ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ nahi bola toh log kya kya bolrahe hein.”

Aly Goni responds to trolls targeting him for not chanting ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’

Television actor Aly Goni faced trolling after he joined Jasmin Bhasin for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at Nia’s home. Once he got pulled into the controversy, Aly chose to respond openly. In a recent chat with Filmygyaan, he explained that he had simply been lost in his own thoughts during the festivities and never imagined the situation would be blown out of proportion. He said:

“Mere ko samajh hi nahi aaya ki matlab agar mai apna khyaalon me tha, mai kaha pe tha… mai soch raha tha, kya kar raha tha maine kabhi itna dhayaan hi nahi diya ki ye cheez ko le ke bhi itni badi problem ban sakti hai.”

Aly went on to share that this was his first time attending a Ganpati Puja. He had never taken part in it before because he was worried he might unknowingly say or do something inappropriate during the worship. He said: “Mai pehli baar gaya hun ganapati me… mai jata nahi hun. yeah because see mere ko nahi pata ki jab kahi puja ho rahi hoti hai… Ganapati ki puja ho rahi thi… mujhe kabhi samjh nahi aaya ki mera waha ja kr koi matalab nahi kyunki mujhe nahi pata waha kya karna hai. Mai aaj tak poori zindagi yahi sochta raha ki mujhse kuch galat cheez na hojaye waha par ki sab puja kar rahe ho aur mai… qki mai bahut random hun… mai kabhi kuch bhi bol leta hun.. kuch bhi kar leta hun.”
