Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has officially received his much-anticipated two-year supply of Gowardhan Ghee, bringing a viral and humorous internet saga to a celebratory close. Fans across social media are rejoicing, marking the occasion with declarations of "Hum jeet gaye" (We won).
The Ghee Saga Begins on Kaun Banega Crorepati
The story of Saif Ali Khan and his quest for ghee began during his appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. Alongside actor Akshay Kumar, Saif was promoting their film, Haiwaan. During the episode, host Amitabh Bachchan announced that correctly answering the 10th question would earn the duo a two-year supply of Gowardhan Ghee.
Saif's visibly delighted reaction to the prospect of receiving the household staple quickly went viral, turning into a popular meme. His genuine excitement amused viewers, who found his enthusiasm for ghee endearing.
Jokes on The Great Indian Kapil Show Fuel Fan Campaign
The conversation didn't end with the game show. Later, during an episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Saif jokingly complained that he had yet to receive the promised ghee, even quipping about an unreceived cheque. These remarks ignited a passionate online campaign among his fans.
Social media users rallied, tagging the brand and demanding that the actor receive his prize. A dedicated Instagram account, @gheeonsaifside, was even created to specifically campaign for the delivery of his promised supply, highlighting the internet's commitment to the amusing cause.
Saif's Instagram Video Confirms Delivery
The long-awaited update finally arrived via Saif Ali Khan's latest Instagram video. In the clip, the actor is seen engaging with fans during a live session. Despite his initial plea, "Hum Gowardhan ghee ke baare mein baat nahi karenge" (We will not talk about Gowardhan ghee), fans relentlessly continued to ask about his supply.
As questions about the two-year supply persisted, Saif playfully attempted to steer the conversation to other topics, asking for "more interesting questions." The video captures his humorous exasperation as he reacts to the repeated queries, eventually asking fans to "stop obsessing over the ghee," which only amplified the internet's joy.
