Controversy A Visit that Turned Controversial: In December 2023, Jani received massive backlash for visiting the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha.

Jatin Mohanty, the general secretary of the Odisha BJP, also demanded for her arrest. Jani, however, took to social media to clarify that she had never consumed and promoted beef.
