A video from Madhoo Shah’s visit to Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja has gone viral on social media, after viewers claimed a man appeared to move the ₹500 note she had offered at the pandal.
Actor Madhoo Shah recently visited Mumbai’s iconic Lalbaugcha Raja during Ganeshotsav to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha. The Roja actor’s visit, however, soon became the subject of online discussion after a video from the pandal surfaced on social media.
In the viral clip, Madhoo can be seen offering a ₹500 currency note at the pandal. As she turns around and waves towards people around her, a man standing nearby appears to pick up the note and place it beneath a cloth.
The brief moment prompted a range of reactions from social media users, with several questioning what happened to the offering.
Madhoo Shah’s ₹500 Note Becomes the Focus of Viral Clip
The video does not establish what happened to the money after it was moved. However, viewers interpreted the footage in different ways, with some suggesting that the note had been taken away.
Comments under the viral video included reactions such as “Is it even surprising?”, “Superb kalakari,” and “Pujari big fan hoga.”
Other comments included “Chanda Chori Guys” and “Ye chor machaye shor,” reflecting the humorous and critical tone adopted by some users.
Since the footage only captures a brief moment and does not provide the full context of the interaction, the online reactions remain interpretations of what viewers believe they saw.
Madhoo Has Not Responded to the Viral Video
Madhoo has also shared photographs from her visit to Lalbaugcha Raja on social media.
The actor has not, however, publicly addressed the viral clip or commented on the incident depicted in it.
That distinction is important as the video continues to circulate online. Neither the identity of the man seen in the clip nor the circumstances surrounding the movement of the currency note have been independently established based on the footage alone.
Several Bollywood Stars Visit Lalbaugcha Raja
Madhoo was among several celebrities who visited the famous Mumbai Ganpati pandal during this year’s Ganeshotsav.
Other prominent names spotted at Lalbaugcha Raja included Shah Rukh Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia Deshmukh, Shilpa Shetty and Sidharth Malhotra.
The annual celebrations at Lalbaugcha Raja regularly attract large crowds, including film personalities, politicians and devotees from across Mumbai and beyond.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Lalbaugcha Raja Visit Also Went Viral
Shah Rukh Khan’s visit to Lalbaugcha Raja also generated significant attention online.
The actor visited the pandal with his wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana Khan and manager Pooja Dadlani. Shah Rukh opted for a blue kurta for the visit, while Suhana wore a green traditional outfit and Gauri chose a yellow ethnic ensemble.
A separate video from the visit attracted attention after Shah Rukh was seen using Pooja Dadlani’s dupatta.
The lighthearted moment prompted affectionate reactions from fans on social media, adding another viral clip to the celebrity coverage surrounding this year’s Lalbaugcha Raja celebrations.
For Madhoo, however, it was her brief offering at the pandal—and the subsequent social-media debate over the ₹500 note—that became the focus of online attention.
