Video: Anjali Arora Reacts To Ranbir Kapoor's 2023 Ganpati Prasad Controversy

Actress Anjali Arora commented on the controversy surrounding actor Ranbir Kapoor refusing Ganpati prasad due to his ongoing diet. Speaking at the trailer launch of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha in Mumbai on September 17, Anjali spoke about the importance of prasad as a blessing rather than just food. She advised people to consume it in moderation instead of avoiding it entirely.

The controversy arose after an old video from a Ganesh festival resurfaced on social media, showing Ranbir accepting prayers and then politely declining the offered prasad, passing it to media members instead. Ranbir explained at the time, "Main toh diet pe hoon, aap log kha loge (I'm on a diet, will you guys have it?)". The video sparked debates online about whether accepting a small amount of prasad would interfere with a fitness regimen, especially considering Ranbir's upcoming role as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana.

Anjali, who portrays Sita in the same project, emphasized the spiritual aspect of receiving prasad and moderation in consumption.
