When the lights dimmed on the Kolkata stage, Ranbir Kapoor mistook “jeet” for “ant” and the crowd went quiet—a slip that made its way into a clip that’s now racking up likes on every feed.
The actor didn’t let the moment fizzle; at the Ramayana launch in Chennai he turned the mishap into a heartfelt mea culpa, even quoting a line from AR Rahman’s Rockstar to admit his own verbal hiccups.
Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, casts Ranbir as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana—an epic that’s slated to hit theatres on November 5, 2026, already a talking point for fans.
In the wake of the viral clip, netizens have been both teasing and supportive, with memes about “ant” trending. Ranbir’s swift apology and nostalgic nod to his past collaborations suggest the star is ready to keep the focus on the epic story rather than a single slip.
