Who is Abhinav Arora?
Abhinav Arora is a Delhi-based spiritual content creator, who claims that his spiritual journey began when he was just three years old.
He is a popular social media influencer and boasts of over one million followers on Instagram. He posts content on Hindutva lessons and Lord Krishna's teachings.
In the video shared, Abhinav expresses his excitement over taking a dip at Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati, on the occasion of Magh Purnima, which marks the end of the month-long Magha Snan, or ritual bathing.
Abhinav Arora Controversy
The 10-year old content creator has been in the middle of controversies over influence of social media on children. While he has huge followership across social media platforms, the ‘bal sant’ is often trolled for faking it for gaining publicity. A set of netizens opine that most of his content and speeches are scripted by his parents. A viral video on YouTube by "Only Desi" analysed inconsistencies in his public statements and challenged if his knowledge of religious texts was genuine.
Abhinav and his family have not just refuted such claims, last year they took a legal action against YouTubers and influencers trolling him. Lashing out at trollers they claimed that Abhinav was unable to attend school because of the cyberbullying he was going through a tough phase.
In an interview with ANI, Abhinav spoke about his struggles with the trolls, adding that he only goes to school to write exams.
"I go to school. I believe both school and spiritual education is necessary. I am in class 5. Currently, I am not going to school due to trolling. Yes, I went to take exams, but because of the trollers, I cannot go to school," Abhinav told ANI.
Abhinav's father Tarun Raj Arora cries conspiracy
In an exclusive interaction with ANI, Abhinav's father, Tarun Raj Arora claimed that YouTubers are trolling his son as a part of a "conspiracy" and to increase their own views and earnings.
"Trolling was going on social media for a long time, some people used to call Abhinav a stammerer. Some used to body shame, till this everything was fine but after that people started making false allegations about him, they started calling him fake. The trolling started happening in such a way that if any other person had been there, he/she would have gone into depression. Everything has a limit. These YouTubers are trolling him as a part of a conspiracy to increase their views and to earn money," Abhinav Arora's father told ANI.
