Fans Launch Online Campaign to Secure Saif Ali Khan’s Promised Two-Year Ghee Supply
After a lighthearted moment on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, Saif Ali Khan is still waiting for a promised two-year supply of ghee, sparking a humorous fan-led movement online.
A lighthearted exchange on the set of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 has transformed into a persistent internet campaign. During a late September appearance to promote the film Haiwaan, actor Saif Ali Khan was promised a two-year supply of ghee by host Amitabh Bachchan, contingent on answering a specific question correctly. The actor’s visible excitement at the prospect—exclaiming, "Woww, Whatt!!"—quickly turned the segment into a viral moment that resonated with viewers.
Despite the initial enthusiasm, the promised dairy supply has yet to reach the actor. In recent interviews, Saif Ali Khan confirmed that he has not received the prize, a revelation that has prompted his fans to take collective action. The situation has evolved from a television highlight into a dedicated social media movement aimed at ensuring the actor receives what he was promised.
From Viral Clip to Digital Advocacy
The campaign has manifested in the form of a dedicated Instagram account, @gheeonsaifside, which is actively lobbying for the delivery of what it terms "2 saal ka Gauravshali Gowardhan Ghee." The account features a mock protest statement, declaring, "Hum tab tak nahi rukenge, jab tak Saifu ko unka haq nahi mil jaata" (We will not stop until Saifu gets his due).Beyond Instagram, supporters have launched an online petition that has already garnered 34 signatures. The petition’s description leans into the humor of the situation, noting that the actor has publicly mentioned the missing prize more frequently than most people discuss salary negotiations. It poses a rhetorical question to the public: "How many more national platforms must a man visit before someone takes his dairy demands seriously?" The petition concludes with a playful call to action, reminding supporters that "not all heroes wear capes; some just want their dosa crispy."
