Ankita Lokhande, Rajiv Adatia Defend Premanand Ji Maharaj Amid Viral 'Purity' Remark: "Full Support!"

Premanand Ji Maharaj is one of the most loved and praised spiritual leaders in the country currently, but recently he was dragged into a controversy when a few assumed that he was making a comment against women. This led to major social media backlash, and his video was widely circulated. However, Celebrity MasterChef fame Rajiv Adatia and Ankita Lokhande have reacted to the trolling and come out in support of Premanand Ji.

Rajiv Adatia Defends Premanand Ji Maharaj:

Rajiv Adatia took to his social media and dropped the full video of Premanand Ji Maharaj's viral comment, writing, “Bilkul sahi kaha!!! Kaan kholo!! Dono ladki aur ladke ke liye bola hai!! And what he's speaking is the utmost truth! Full support for Premanand Ji Maharaj!! In this time in the world, people like him bring the simplicity of spiritualism back! Kuch bhi galat nahi bola usne!!"

"He Speaks the Truth..."

He further added in the caption, “What has he said wrong, tell me?? This was a generic statement about both genders, not just one! Jab insaan sach bolta hai toh karwa lagta hai! Whatever he speaks, he speaks with truth and conviction, and he always speaks correctly and to the point! Sach bola, bilkul sach!! This man is a national treasure of India! We support you!!"

Ankita Lokhande Extends Support to Premanand Ji:

Ankita Lokhande also came out in support of the spiritual leader and reshared Rajiv's reel, echoing similar thoughts.

Rajiv's reel has received love from netizens, and supporters of the spiritual leader showered him with high praise. One user wrote, “Social media is so toxic for this generation. Thank you, Rajiv, for sharing this." Another commented, “Yes, full support! That's the problem… nobody wants to listen to the truth. It is today's truth." A third user added, “Absolutely… can't agree more… and what else do people expect from a spiritual guru to endorse? It was said for both genders. It meant that loyalty, love, and trust are getting maligned in today's Kalyug."

What Premanand Ji Maharaj Said:

In the video, Premanand Ji talks about the growing trend of multiple relationships. While he made sure to speak about both genders, his one line didn't sit well with the internet. Social media started trolling him for saying, “Only 2 to 4 girls out of 100 are pure in today's times."

In response, one user commented, “What's pure? Why is this ‘pure' term not used for boys?? Why one-sided standards from these fake babas?" Another comment read, “Out of 100 swamis, how many respect women without measuring ‘purity' like some 1800s school inspector?"
