Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav is usually known for his hit songs and movie roles. But lately, he’s making headlines for a different reason. The actor recently shared a social media post about Premanand Maharaj, a respected spiritual figure. This post has put Khesari right in the middle of a big debate. He claims some folks are visiting the Maharaj just to clean up their public image.
Khesari didn’t name any names in his post. But his strong words have sparked a flurry of reactions online. Many social media users quickly turned on him, throwing a lot of criticism his way. His remarks have certainly stirred the pot in the entertainment and spiritual circles.
Khesari’s Message on Social Media
Khesari Lal Yadav shared a photo of Premanand Maharaj on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, “A plea: Just feel Premanand Maharaj.” He then added, “I’ve noticed lately that many people are going there to build their image. He is not a sin-washing machine. If you have true devotion, just follow his words. Promotion and publicity everywhere don’t look good.” He even added, “Even too much wisdom early in the morning is okay.” This post quickly went viral.
एक अपील
प्रेमानंद महाराज को बस अनुभूति कीजिए, कुछ दिन से नोटिस किए की कई लोग Image Making के लिए वहाँ जाने लगे हैं। वो पाप धोने वाले मशीन नहीं हैं। सच्ची श्रद्धा है तो बस उनके बातो को अनुसरण कीजिए। हर जगह प्रमोशन और प्रचार ठीक नहीं लगता ।

What People Are Saying
Khesari’s post has really got people talking. Opinions are all over the place. One user stood up for him, writing, “Thank you, brother, at least you had the courage to say this. Everyone else just…” This shows some people agree with his honest words.
However, not everyone was supportive. Another user hit back, saying, “You go to the house of the one who committed sins worth 940 crores…” This comment clearly aimed at a specific individual.
Still, some people continued to show support for Khesari Lal Yadav’s bold statement.
Khesari’s Own Devotion
It’s interesting because Khesari himself holds Premanand Maharaj in high regard. Not long ago, he released a devotional song dedicated to the Maharaj. The song, titled “Tere Prem Mein Pagal Premanand” (which means “Mad in Your Love, Premanand”), has been a huge hit. It has gathered over 5.5 million views on YouTube. People really enjoyed this spiritual tune. But now, because of his recent social media post, Khesari finds himself in hot water.
Was It a Dig at Raj Kundra?
Many people believe Khesari’s post was aimed directly at Raj Kundra. Raj Kundra is the husband of actress Shilpa Shetty. Recently, Raj Kundra visited Premanand Maharaj with his wife at Kali Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan. This visit came at a tricky time for Kundra.
Raj Kundra has been caught up in several major controversies for years. These include issues like money laundering, cryptocurrency scams, and fraud. Just recently, a businessman accused both Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty of a 60 crore fraud. Right after this accusation, Raj Kundra went to see Premanand Maharaj. During his visit, he even talked about donating a kidney. Many people saw this as nothing more than a publicity stunt. Khesari’s comments about “image-making” seemed to echo these public sentiments.
