Karwa Chauth , a festival celebrated by married women in India, traditionally involves fasting for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. A recent video featuring an elderly man conducting a Karwa Chauth ritual in honor of former adult film actress Mia Khalifa has ignited a lively debate across social media. The video, shared by Guru Ji, known for humorous content on the platform X, rapidly gained widespread attention.
The Viral Clip In the video, the elderly man is seen performing the Karwa Chauth ritual using a traditional thali and channi, while gazing at a picture of Mia Khalifa that is hung on the wall. While some found humor in this unusual act, others criticized it, accusing it of being a gimmick to attract attention.
Social media users had mixed reactions. One commented, “It’s disheartening to see meaningful traditions being reduced to stunts for online fame .” Another speculated the elderly man’s grandchildren might have been involved, saying, “This is probably something their grandkids made them do for likes and views.” On the other hand, some users enjoyed the humor, with one stating, “This is hilarious,” and another adding, “I laughed so hard.” However, not everyone was amused, as one person remarked, “This is just creepy.”
Previous Controversies Involving Mia Khalifa This isn’t the first time Mia Khalifa has been at the center of controversy in India. In August, her image appeared on a hoarding in Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, as part of the decorations for the Aadi festival, which is dedicated to Goddess Amman (Parvati).
The inclusion of her picture alongside local deities startled many, leading to its removal by the police after it went viral online.
