One of the most iconic heirloom weapons in Bengali households has finally received the creative appreciation it deserves. The jhanta (broom) is not just a cleaning tool — it’s also a legendary weapon used to bring back some sense in many Indian homes. Whether it’s a gentle reminder or a dramatic wake-up call, the jhanta has long been wielded by the mothership of the house to discipline bratty children — who, by the way, can be of any age, even in their 40s or 50s!
In a recent reel, the hilarious duo Mango and Basil have heroed the broom like never before, leaving audiences rolling on the floor laughing. Their video has even sparked the birth of a new, much-needed custom — anointing the Jhantahood. Want to know what exactly went down? Go watch the reel!
