What was meant to be a statement about the triumph of good over evil took an entirely different turn because of his choice of words.

Addressing the gathering, Ranbir spoke about the significance of Dussehra and how evil, regardless of its strength, ultimately loses to truth and righteousness.

The actor intended to say that truth and goodness would ultimately triumph, but the use of the word ant instead of jeet completely changed the meaning of his statement.

Several poked fun at the actor’s mistake, with some questioning how someone portraying Lord Ram could accidentally reverse the central message of the Ramayana. Comments ranged from jokes about the irony of the statement to questions about what Ranbir might say while promoting the film.

While the trolling intensified, many fans also defended Ranbir, arguing that it was an ordinary slip of the tongue that had been blown out of proportion. They pointed out that a verbal mistake during a public speech should not be confused with the actor’s actual understanding of the epic’s message. Ranbir addressed the controversy at a promotional event in Chennai on October 21. Acknowledging his mistake, the actor apologised and clarified that he had intended to say that truth and goodness would ultimately win.

In a light-hearted moment, he also recalled his collaboration with music composer AR Rahman on Rockstar, quoting the song lyric, “Jo bhi main kehna chahoon, barbaad kare alfaaz mere.” The line, which refers to words failing to express what someone wants to say, neatly captured the situation. Ranbir ended by reiterating his apology. The incident has attracted particular attention because Ranbir is preparing to portray Lord Ram, one of the most revered figures in Indian mythology. His co-star Yash, who plays Ravana, also urged people to focus on positivity rather than finding faults in every small detail.
