Indian fan asks Salena Gomez to chant "India's best slogan - Jai Shri Ram"; here’s how she responded
New Delhi: A recent video featuring an unexpected exchange between an Indian fan and pop star Selena Gomez has gone viral, stirring diverse reactions online. The video shows the fan eagerly taking a selfie with Gomez and then surprising her with a request to chant, "Jai Shri Ram."
When Gomez appears confused, the fan clarifies, calling it "India's best slogan - Jai Shri Ram." She politely responds, “Aww, thank you, honey,” without engaging further.
Instagram user Pallav Paliwal originally shared the video, captioning it, "One of our followers met Selena Gomez and she said 'Jai Shri Ram' on the occasion of Diwali." Although Paliwal suggested the interaction took place on Diwali, viewers noted Gomez’s outfit matched one she wore at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, raising doubts about the timing.
The video has sparked strong online reactions, with many expressing embarrassment and frustration. "I got levels of embarrassment I couldn't believe were possible," commented one viewer, while another labeled it “the most pathetic thing I've seen all year.” Others criticized the fan’s request as a sign of “an incurable inferiority complex.”
Paliwal's post has amassed nearly 20,000 likes on Instagram, while the video has gained millions of views across social media platforms, including X and Facebook.
