One Instagram user, echoing the sentiments of many, reportedly commented, “Fallu, you’ve become so expensive!”. Another shared their frustration, stating, “I love Falguni Pathak and wait all year for Navratri just to attend her Garba shows. But choosing a venue like Jio Convention Centre makes it very difficult for many middle-class families to afford the experience. Navratri and Garba should bring people together, not make them feel excluded because of high costs.” Navratri 2025: Nita Ambani Celebrates Navratri, Performs Dandiya With Singer Falguni Pathak at Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai (Watch Video).
