The clip, first shared on a fan page with the caption “Playful moment between the loving couple Anant and Radhik,” has spread rapidly across social media. Netizens flooded the comments, amused by the twist. One wrote, “This Sikh bodyguard is much more than just a bodyguard for Radhika literally.” Another noted the cheerful atmosphere: “It seems a playful banter between all, I see Anant’s bodyguard also protecting him. And all are laughing.” A third user summed up the mood with humour: “Meanwhile me watching the pookie bodyguard!!”

The Ambanis welcomed Antilia Cha Raja on August 27 with grandeur, marking the start of Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. Over the following days, several clips surfaced from inside Antilia—showing Anant, Radhika, Nita Ambani, and other family members performing aarti in traditional attire.

Every year, the arrival and visarjan of Antilia Cha Raja is celebrated with elaborate rituals, drawing massive attention from devotees and social media alike. This year, though, it was the flower battle—and Radhika’s quick-footed “pookie bodyguard”—that captured the Internet’s heart.
