The ongoing discussion surrounding spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj and cricketer Virat Kohli has sparked conversations around celebrity influence, spirituality and the growing public visibility of religious figures. Amid the debate, astrologer and spiritual speaker Shivashree Ritu Singh has shared her perspective, defending Premanand Maharaj and questioning the idea that his popularity is dependent on celebrity associations.
Ritu Singh, popularly known as Astrologer Ritu Singh, said she has a strong connection with Vrindavan and is familiar with the spiritual environment surrounding Premanand Maharaj. Addressing the claims and discussions doing the rounds, she said that, in her view, Premanand Maharaj does not require Virat Kohli or any other influencer to attract people. She further attributed his popularity to his simplicity, spiritual presence and the affection of devotees. “Unhe famous Radha Rani ne kiya hai. Premanand Maharaj ki simplicity ne unhe famous kiya hai aur logon ke pyaar aur mohabbat ne unhe pehchaan di hai,” she said.
One of the central points raised by Shivashree Ritu Singh was the role of individual faith and understanding in choosing a spiritual path. Referring to Virat Kohli’s association with Premanand Maharaj, she questioned whether people are drawn towards a spiritual figure simply because a celebrity is associated with them, or whether their own understanding leads them towards what she described as a “saatvik marg”. Her comments place the focus back on personal spiritual inclination rather than celebrity influence.
Ritu Singh also connected the controversy to what she described as a wider pattern of criticism and political attacks directed at Hinduism and religious gurus. According to her, attempts to raise allegations against Premanand Maharaj should be viewed within this broader context. Her remarks come at a time when claims surrounding the spiritual leader and Virat Kohli have been circulating widely online, although some of the more serious allegations reported in the media have not been independently verified.
