Following this, many jokes were made at the expense of Radhe Maa. However, the best joke, as is now almost routine, came from actor Rishi Kapoor.

The joke, of course, is on famed music director Bappi Lahiri's tendency to wear glittery jewelry and tons of make-up, which is what Radhe Maa is also known for.
According to NDTV, Radhe Maa's real name is Sukhvinder Kaur is believed to be in her fifties and the mother of three. She is a controversial figure, who has been accused of dowry harassment by a woman in Mumbai. The woman alleged that her husband's family tortured her on the godwoman's advice and forced her to serve Radhe Maa, do chores for her and give her massages.
