Singer Afsana Khan has found herself at the centre of an online controversy after attending Ganesh Puja at Kapil Sharma’s residence. A video of the singer participating in the festivities surfaced online, but instead of receiving only appreciation, she was hit with a wave of criticism and harsh comments from a section of social media users. While many praised the festive gathering and the spirit of togetherness, some trolls questioned Afsana’s participation in the Hindu ritual and went as far as calling it “dhong”.

Afsana was seen joining the Ganesh celebrations at comedian and actor Kapil Sharma’s home. The singer participated in the pooja and was seen seeking Lord Ganesha’s blessings alongside others present at the gathering. The video soon began circulating across social media platforms, attracting mixed reactions from viewers. While several people appreciated the sight of celebrities coming together to celebrate the festival, a section of users turned the comment section into a debate over faith and religious practices.

Some users criticised Afsana and accused her of being performative. Comments such as “pehle paap, phir pooja” and allegations of hypocrisy began appearing online. However, these reactions represent the opinions of individual social media users and not any established fact about Afsana Khan. The singer herself was simply seen participating in a Ganesh Puja at Kapil Sharma’s home. The trolling once again highlights how celebrity appearances at religious or cultural events can quickly become subjects of intense online scrutiny.

Amid the negativity, many social media users also came out in support of Afsana. They argued that participating in another community’s festival should be seen as a gesture of respect and cultural harmony rather than something controversial. Several fans pointed out that India’s festivals often bring people from different backgrounds together, and that faith and celebration should not necessarily be restricted by religious boundaries.

What appeared to be a simple visit to Kapil Sharma’s Ganesh Puja has now turned into a talking point online. The contrasting reactions show how quickly a celebrity video can spark debate, with one section focusing on the celebration while another searches for controversy. For Afsana Khan, a moment meant to seek Bappa’s blessings has unexpectedly become another episode of celebrity trolling. But beyond the harsh comments, the incident has also sparked a larger conversation about faith, personal choice and the freedom to participate in celebrations beyond one’s own religious traditions.
