Overview

• Videos from a Mumbai Ganesh Chaturthi event showed Aly Goni standing quiet while Jasmine Bhasin and Nia Sharma joined chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya.”
• In a FilmyGyan interview, Goni said it was his first time at such festivities and that he avoided chanting because worship of this kind is not allowed in his religion.
• He said he is receiving death threats and abusive messages online and issued a forceful warning to those targeting his mother, sister, or girlfriend.
• Reactions online remain split, with Nia Sharma publicly defending him and Bhasin sharing supportive posts for his family on Instagram.
• Coverage has revived scrutiny of the couple’s interfaith relationship and past Abu Dhabi mosque visit, and at least one opinion outlet published sharply critical commentary framing his stance as hypocritical.
