“Promoted lassi but did not drink it:Salman Khan's co-star Bhagyashree trolled for 'double standards'”
Actress Bhagyashree, best known for Maine Pyar Kiya, recently found herself at the centre of an online controversy after a video from her visit to a famous lassi shop in Varanasi went viral. In the clip, she is seen promoting the lassi before later saying she couldn't finish it because it contained too much sugar and fat. The video sparked criticism on social media, with many users accusing her of double standards. As the backlash intensified, Bhagyashree responded by sharing a video of her own, calling out the trolls and defending her remarks. First, watch Bhagyashree's old viral video- Bhagyashree clarified after being trolled Responding to the criticism, Bhagyashree shared a video on Instagram explaining the context behind her remarks. She said she had been awake since 3 a.m. and had attended the Mangala Aarti before spending hours walking along the ghats of the Ganga in the scorching heat. She added that the lassi was exactly what she needed at the time, describing it as an instant energy booster. Bhagyashree also praised the generous topping of dry fruits, saying it added a delicious crunch that she genuinely enjoyed. She further wrote, 'Along with the excellent taste, it also had the warmth and love of those who made it. A clip from this video is being widely circulated on social media, claiming it was a fake promotion. Were you there? Did anyone hear or record during that so-called 'fake' clip that I said, "It's too sweet, I won't drink it?"' Finally, Bhagyashree wrote, Hasn't your mother ever given you lassi in summer? What's fake is uploading half a video and incomplete information on social media. No one earns money by promoting local food or local shopkeepers. The only benefit from this is that local food and small vendors receive support. It's sad that some people have so much free time that they find negativity even in such a simple and good thing. Kashi is a city of purity. Your baseless remarks are utterly insignificant in front of it. Besides this, Bhagyashree has also posted a story, in which she wrote, "Kashi is a city of purity. Yet, attempts are being made to defame me based on incomplete information and partial videos. Hasn't your mother ever given you lassi in summer? What's wrong with drinking lassi after all?
