As Dahi Handi 2025 fills the air with joy, we recall Amitabh Bachchan’s unforgettable Mach Gaya Shor from Khud-Daar (1982), where his head-smashed matki act became both cinematic magic and a testament to his fearless dedication.
Shehnaaz Gill, a name synonymous with charm and talent in the Indian entertainment industry, recently set the stage on fire with her performance at Baba Siddique's Dahi Handi event in Mumbai. The event, held during the festivities of Krishna Janmashtami, saw a vibrant gathering of celebrities and fans alike, but it was Shehnaaz's energy and charisma that truly stole the show.
As the celebrities arrived, the energy of the crowd soared. Karisma Kapoor, looking elegant in a traditional outfit, waved to the cheering crowd, showing her support for the participants. She also performed on Main toh Raste Jaa Raha Tha song with Govindas. Amisha Patel, known for her vivacious personality, enthusiastically cheered for the Govindas, encouraging them as they attempted to reach the pot.
Shilpa Shetty, a popular Bollywood actress, recently shared a delightful video on her social media celebrating the festival of Janmashtami with her family. In the video, Shilpa's son, Viaan, can be seen enthusiastically participating in the traditional Dahi Handi ritual, where he breaks the handi (pot) as part of the festivities.
Krishna Janmashtami falls on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the month of “Bhadrapada” in India. This year, Janmashtami will be celebrated on September 6 and 7. According to Hindu mythology, Krishna is the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu and also the eighth child of Devaki and Vasudev.
Amid chants of "Govinda ala re", thousands of Mumbaikars today celebrated 'dahi handi' festival on the occasion of Janmashtami, the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna.
