Ranbir Kapoor Teaches MrBeast to Say Jai Shri Ram at Mumbai Ramayana Event

A Ramayana-led event in Mumbai brought together MrBeast and a lineup of Bollywood figures, including Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Ravie Dubey, producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari. The event started more than three hours late, which angered the media, and Ravie Dubey apologized for the delay.

MrBeast commented, “It’s a lot of fun to be here. Thanks for having me. Are you guys having a good time? I feel very, very grateful and it was amazing to see some parts of the movie.”

During the onstage moment, some members of the media began chanting, “Jai Shri Ram, MrBeast.” Unsure how to respond, MrBeast turned to Ranbir Kapoor for help. Ranbir promptly guided him, after which MrBeast smiled and said, “Jai Shri Ram.” His response was met with loud cheers, claps and hoots.

Ranbir Kapoor then enlightened MrBeast about the Ramayana: “Is it fine if I can call you Jimmy? So, Jimmy, Welcome to India. Ramayana and Shri Ram are very deeply etched in our subconscious since the day we were born. Lord Rama is someone who never tried to be a hero. He’s known as ‘Maryada Purushottam’, which symbolizes a righteous man. He was born as a prince, and he could have had everything he wanted. But he sacrificed it all to fulfil his father’s promise. We use a word in our culture which means Dharma. It means duty. I don’t know if there’s a direct meaning to that. He sacrificed it all as a commitment to his duty.”

“Lord Rama is the perfect man, and through this film, you can have a brief introduction to our culture, history and where it all began,” he added.

Namit Malhotra revealed, “MrBeast and I are also collaborating together on a film called The Angry Birds Movie 3. We are producing it and he’s one of the voice actors in it. He did not know we were producing it (laughs).” MrBeast replied, “I learned today that we are actually working together!”

Another moment came when Malhotra explained Sita’s swayamvar and how Lord Rama emerged victorious by completing the bow challenge. He also drew a parallel with The Odyssey, which features a similar bow-and-arrow sequence.
