On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, several celebrities took to social media to extend their heartfelt wishes to fans, sharing personal reflections and moments of devotion. This day marks the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna and is celebrated with enthusiasm in different parts of the country. Arjit Taneja, Ashlesha Savant, Munmun Dutta, Ravi Dubey, and Rajiv Adatia, among others, wished their fans on this auspicious day.

Actor Arjit Taneja embraced the Janmashtami spirit with a traditional touch by posting a series of photos where he is seen breaking the Dahi Handi with a coconut, a traditional practice associated with the celebration. He captioned the post, "Happy Janmashtami!"

Ashlesha Savant, known for her role in Anupamaa, shared a message with her followers. Alongside a picture of herself holding the Bhagavad Gita, she posted a long, reflective caption that reads, "yatkṛitaṁ yatkariṣhyāmi tatsarvaṁ na mayā kṛitam tvayā kṛitaṁ tu phalabhuk tvameva madhusūdana. Whatever I have achieved and whatever I wish to achieve, I am not the doer of these. O Madhusudan, you are the real doer, and you alone are the enjoyer of their results."

She continued with her thoughts on consciousness and the divine journey that Krishna represents. Ashlesha revealed that she has begun reading the Bhagavad Gita recently. Earlier she used to watch content on her phone in between her shots, but now she reads the Gita.

Comedian Sunil Grover also posted a picture of little Krishna and wrote, "Shree Krishna Janamasthami ki Shubhkamnaen. जय हो नंदलाल की जय यशोदा लाल की, हाथी घोडा पालकी जय कन्हैया लाल की ॥"
