Aly Goni Stays Silent During ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ Chant, Netizens React To Video
Aly Goni’s silence during the “Ganpati Bappa Morya” chant at a Mumbai celebration with Jasmine Bhasin sparked debate online, with fans divided over his choice and defending his personal beliefs.
Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in Mumbai are known for drawing television’s most popular faces, but this year, it wasn’t just the glamour that made headlines—it was Aly Goni’s silence. The actor, who attended the celebrations with his partner Jasmine Bhasin, found himself at the centre of online debate after a video went viral showing him not chanting “Ganpati Bappa Morya.”
Viral video triggers mixed reactions
In the widely shared clip, Jasmine is seen urging Aly to join in, but he remains quiet. The moment quickly became a hot topic on social media. While some criticised him for attending but not participating, others defended his stance, calling it a matter of personal faith.

One user commented, “Itna uncomfortable feel ho raha h toh aaya kyu Jasmin ko sochna chahiye.” Another wrote, “Issse acha to sonakshi ka pati hai.” A third added, “But muh kyun bana raha hai itna atleast he should smile gracefully.”
Supporters, however, were quick to counter the negativity. “Did he force her to offer namaz? Respect other’s faith too,” one fan pointed out. Another said, “Kya ali ne Jasmine ko bola hai naamaz padhne yaa ramzan ke roze rakhne nhi naa to ab kyu ali pe sawal utha Rahe ho.” A third comment read, “Jasmine should not ask him to chant.”
Adding fuel to the fire, another video surfaced from the same event showing Aly, dressed in traditional attire, posing for photographers alongside Jasmine and actress Nia Sharma. As the paparazzi chanted “Ganpati Bappa,” and the crowd responded with “Morya,” Aly remained silent once again.

Faith, respect, and personal choice
The online chatter has since evolved into a larger conversation about religious freedom and personal boundaries. While some accused the actor of disrespect, many argued that his presence at the event with friends should hold more significance than chanting slogans.
Jasmine Bhasin on negativity
Aly and Jasmine, who rose to fame as a couple during Bigg Boss 14, continue to enjoy a strong fan following despite occasional trolling. Jasmine previously addressed online criticism of their relationship in an interview with The Indian Express, saying, “The relationship is between the two of us, we have an understanding, we have had these conversations. We have reached a common ground, we have accepted each other the way we are. We are sorted between us, so nobody’s opinions matter. Still, if people give negative opinions that can affect our relationship, then shame on them.”
