Kumbh Mela 2021 - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Kumbh Mela 2021 at Lokmat Times

Actor Karan Wahi was subjected to hate and death threats after sharing a ‘sarcastic’ post on Naga Babas at Kumbh Mela amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Karan took to his Instagram stories and wrote, “Isn’t there a Work From Home culture for Naga Babas? Like get water from Ganga and take a shower at home #justcurious #kumbhmela." Many have termed the religious festival as a 'superspreader' including international media publications, Karan's remarks did not go down too well with the netizens who demanded that he take down his post over the Naga Babas. Netizens slammed Karan for 'hurting Hindu sentiments' while a section of social media users even alleged that he had propaganda against the Hindus and hurled abuses at him and gave him death threats constantly asking him to ‘delete his propaganda story against Naga Babas'. After receiving the hateful messages, Karan dropped a message for his trolls saying that they need to read what being a Hindu is. In the end, he shared yet another story which reads, “I love you. You’re probably thinking ‘you don’t even know me’. But if people can hate for no reason, I can love.” For the uninitiated, Haridwar has reported more than 1,000 coronavirus cases over the past 48 hours after lakhs of devotees were seen taking dips into the Ganga river at the Mahakumbh festival. Led by their ‘mahamandaleshwaras’, the sadhus from different Akhadas took out Shobha Yatras through the main thoroughfare of the pilgrimage city to gather at Brahma Kund, Hari ki Pairi for the Shahi Snan – or the royal bath — on Somvati Amavasya that took place on Monday. Followed by them were lakhs of devotees coming over from across the country for pilgrimage in Haridwar.
