Social Media Reaction:

While many enjoyed the lighthearted video, some netizens criticized the actor for celebrating Christmas and uttering 'Jai Mata Di' while igniting the cake. The mixed reactions added a layer of controversy to the otherwise cheerful celebration.

Complaint Filed against Ranbir Kapoor

On Wednesday, a complaint was filed by Sanjay Tiwari at Ghatkopar police station through his lawyers Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra. According to reports, Tiwari claimed that the video showed Kapoor pouring liquor on the cake and setting it on fire while chanting "Jai Mata Di." The complaint argues that such actions go against Hindu traditions, where the fire god is invoked before other deities, and accused the Kapoor family of deliberately using intoxicants during a celebration of another religion.
