In the now-viral video shared by the Instagram page Avantika Bhatt Fanpage, Joshi spins the bottle, which eventually lands on his wife. He then dares her to drink water from their pet dog's bowl. Avantika immediately refuses, seemingly taken aback by the challenge.
Joshi, however, is not ready to let the dare go. He walks over to the bowl, picks it up and brings it to her, insisting that she only needs to take a small sip. Avantika eventually takes the bowl and drinks from it, but her reaction makes her discomfort apparent as she grimaces immediately after taking a sip.

What may have been intended as a light-hearted moment during the game did not go down well with many viewers, who questioned the dare and expressed concern over the hygiene implications.
One user warned that making someone drink from an animal's bowl could put their health at risk. Another argued that even if the video was scripted, the idea of asking one's partner to do something so demeaning was troubling.
A third questioned why an educated woman would agree to participate in what they suspected was a staged stunt.
Sourav Joshi married Avantika Bhatt in a private wedding ceremony at a resort in Rishikesh on November 25, 2025. The couple tied the knot in a traditional ceremony attended by close family members, keeping the celebrations largely away from the public eye.
