Amidst a recent controversy surrounding Aly Goni's silence during Ganpati celebrations, Jasmine Bhasin has shown her support for Aly's family by extending warm birthday wishes to his sister, Ilham Goni Tak. This gesture comes at a time when Aly is facing criticism for not chanting "Ganpati Bappa Morya" during the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities.

The controversy began when videos circulated online showing Aly standing silently while Jasmine Bhasin and actress Nia Sharma actively participated in the chants and celebrations. In one clip, Jasmine was even seen encouraging Aly to join in, but he refrained. This sparked a debate on social media, with some users criticizing Aly for allegedly disrespecting the religion, while others defended him, stating that simply being present at the festivities was a respectful gesture.

Aly Goni has since addressed the trolling, explaining that his silence stemmed from his religious beliefs. He clarified that his religion does not permit idol worship, stating, "It's not allowed in my religion, hum puja nahi karte hai. We have one belief — we offer namaz, we pray, and we respect all religions. It is written in the Quran that we must respect everyone, and I do". He also mentioned that he was attending Ganpati celebrations for the first time and was unsure of what was expected of him, fearing he might unintentionally do something wrong.

Nia Sharma also defended Aly, emphasizing that being part of someone's festivities is the "utmost respect itself". She highlighted that they celebrate every festival in India with the same enthusiasm.

Despite the ongoing controversy, Jasmine Bhasin has publicly displayed her affection and support for Aly's family. She shares a close bond with Ilham Goni Tak, as evident from her birthday wish. In a social media post, Jasmine wrote, "Happy birthday sister. You are my Iron Lady who inspires me in so many ways. I know you are always on my side Wish you a lifetime of happiness”.

This isn't the first time Jasmine has expressed her fondness for Aly's sister. In the past, she has shared pictures with Ilham and has often spoken about their close relationship. Aly also shares a close bond with his sister, who is a mother to triplets.

Jasmine's birthday wish for Ilham comes as a heartwarming gesture amidst the controversy surrounding Aly's actions during the Ganpati celebrations. It highlights the importance of respecting individual beliefs and maintaining strong relationships with loved ones, regardless of differing opinions or controversies.
