Ranbir Kapoor used the Ramayana musical event in Chennai to address a mistake he made the day before. At a Dussehra event held in Kolkata as part of the film's promotions, the actor mixed up his words while speaking about good and evil. The clip went viral, and he faced a lot of trolling online. In Chennai, he apologized for the slip of the tongue and made light of it with a line about how his words always get ruined.
What Ranbir Kapoor Said at the Dussehra Event in Kolkata
At the Kolkata event, Ranbir meant to deliver a line about truth and goodness winning in the end. Instead, he said, "Burai chahe kitne bhi taaqatwar kyun na ho, aakhir mein anth sacchai aur acchaai ki hi hogi." The mix-up between "achhai" and "burai" was caught quickly, and the video spread widely on social media, leading to a wave of trolling.

We really feel welcomed by all you beautiful people. Ramayana is a story that connects..."

Our Take: A Small Slip, Handled the Right Way
In our view, Ranbir Kapoor did the sensible thing by facing the mistake directly instead of ignoring it. A slip of the tongue at a promotional event is a small thing, but social media rarely lets such moments pass. By apologizing in Chennai and joking about his own words, he took the sting out of the trolling without making excuses. To put it plainly, this is how a public figure should handle a viral goof-up — own it, laugh at it, and move on. For fans, the bigger takeaway from Chennai is the film's music coming alive through A R Rahman's performance, not a mixed-up sentence from the day before.
