In the age of Instagram stories and cheeky celebrity banter, one light-hearted post can flip the internet on its head. That’s exactly what happened when TV heartthrob Aly Goni, known for his goofy love with Jasmin Bhasin made a joke that didn’t quite land the way he expected.

It Started as a Joke

Aly recently shared a vintage image of his girlfriend Jasmin Bhasin on his Instagram story, teasingly inquiring, “Kya Jasmin chhapri hai?” — with a laughing emoji to keep things light hearted.

Now, for those not up to date on Gen Z slang, chhapri is a term often used online to mock someone who tries too hard to look cool or flashy—usually in a cringe way. Not exactly flattering.

Jasmin, keeping the tone light, clapped back with her own post: a sketch of Aly along with the caption, “Kya Aly chhapri hai?” Everything seemed fun until it wasn’t.

But the Internet Wasn’t Laughing

The joke didn’t sit well with everyone. Some fans laughed it off, but a chunk of netizens, especially on Reddit, weren’t having it. Comments like “Who calls their girlfriend that in public?” and “If this is love, what does respect look like?” flooded discussion threads. A few even called Aly a “walking red flag,” saying the term was disrespectful and tone-deaf—especially when aimed at a woman, even in jest.

One Reddit user wrote, “It’s not about jokes. It’s the public tone. Words stick.” That hit hard.

Just Playful Chemistry or Problematic?

While many fans defended the couple, calling their banter “cute” and part of their natural chemistry, others insisted that language matters. Sure, couples tease each other. But when celebs do it in front of millions, every word is amplified.

On the Work Front

Jasmin Bhasin debuted in a Punjabi movie in 2022 with Honeymoon after rising to fame through popular television series such Dil Se Dil Tak and Naagin 4. Aly Goni meanwhile, is all the rage right now because of his entertaining part in the popular cooking-comedy reality show Laughter Chefs.

Final Word

Whether it was just silly fun or a sign of something deeper, one thing’s clear—fans are watching and the internet never forgets.
