Amid Aniruddhacharya Row, Khushboo Patani Warns Legal Action: "I Will Not Spare..."
You must have been living under a rock if you have not heard about the controversy surrounding Khushboo Patani and spiritual leaders – Aniruddhacharya and Premanandji Maharaj. Now, Khusbhoo, the retired Indian Army Major and elder sister of actor Disha Patani, has taken a firm stand against those spreading misinformation about her online.
In a new video statement, Khushboo Patani addressed the controversy and made it clear that she never made any derogatory comments about spiritual leader Premanandji Maharaj.
She clarified that the video being circulated had been "edited and taken out of context," and was in fact directed at Aniruddhacharya. According to Khushboo, her comments were in response to a specific statement made by Aniruddhacharya, who had drawn criticism for his remarks about women in live-in relationships.
The retired Major was particularly disturbed by his reference to 'those women who go from one person to another,' which she found patriarchal and regressive.
However, things escalated when a separate video of Premanandji Maharaj discussing a similar topic surfaced online, with false claims suggesting that Khushboo had spoken against him. The confusion led to intense trolling, and Khushboo revealed that she received a wave of abusive messages from followers of both spiritual leaders.
Calling out the online abuse, Khushboo emphasised that she had been subjected to lewd and misogynistic trolling, and urged her followers to avoid believing unauthenticated claims. She captioned her post, 'Fake News Against Me! Deliberate effort to defame me !'
Khushboo didn't stop there – she issued a stern warning to the perpetrators of this misinformation campaign and named specific social media accounts in her post.
'@yourrspiritualgirl this channel has put serious fake news against me which has nothing to do with me and put me unnecessary trolling and risk . We will be filling defamation under IPC 499 and 500 forgery and manipulation under IPC 465 and 469 , spreading fake news or misleading content under IPC 505(1)(b) , hurting modesty of a woman ,Cyber crime online harassment of me under IT ACT 66,66D,67 against you ! I will not spare ! other names as follows @utsavshukla.news @delhi_ka_deepak_official,' she wrote.

Poll Do you think Rishabh Pant will make a successful comeback after his injury? Absolutely! Maybe, depends on recovery. Uncertain, injuries are tough. On Wednesday, Pant took to Instagram to vent his frustration, posting a picture of his plastered foot on his story with the blunt caption: 'I hate this so much.' But while the frustration is real, Pant has found a lighter way to pass the time — in the kitchen. Earlier in the day, the 27-year-old shared a playful social media video of himself baking pizzas, limping slightly yet grinning in a chef's apron as he kneaded dough and arranged toppings. 'Ghar pe to kuch banaya nahi hai, yaha pizza bana raha hai' ('I haven't cooked anything at home, and here I am making pizza'), Pant quipped, adding an Italian flourish to his caption: 'Impasto, salsa, forno… and me.' In the clip, Pant told viewers, 'Today I'm going to show you how to make pizza… I think I'm gonna make vegetarian pizza. With the truffle? Yeah, with the truffle.' Ever the entertainer, he joked mid-session: 'Can I use your scissor, please? Where is it? Pizza is getting ready. I'm going to wait for it. Very hot in here, boys and girls.' He signed off with his trademark chuckle: 'That's the only thing I can do with a broken foot right now. Mother must be thinking — ghar pe to kuch banaya nahi hai, yaha pizza bana raha hai.' Watch: While his comeback date remains uncertain, Pant's latest posts prove that even in recovery, he's keeping his spirits high.

Mrunal Thakur Makes First Appearance After Bipasha Basu Reacts To 'Manly Muscles' Jibe
Mrunal Thakur was all smiles as she headed out for dinner with a friend. Mrunal Thakur is currently in the headlines for both personal and professional reasons. Besides the viral Bipasha Basu row, Mrunal is also in the news as her latest film, Son of Sardaar 2, is struggling at the box office. Adding to the chatter are rumours linking her to South superstar Dhanush. The actress was papped in town today as she headed out in chic casual wear. Mrunal Thakur was spotted in Mumbai in blue jeans paired with a beautiful blue top. She completed her look with a tan bag, wedge heels and chunky jewellery. The actress looked radiant with her hair open and her look tied together with a statement belt. This marked her first appearance since Bipasha Basu clapped back at her 'manly muscles' comment. Have a look here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@sneyhzala) Earlier today, Bipasha Basu seemingly reacted to Mrunal Thakur's viral throwback video in which the younger actress was shading her for her 'manly" muscles. Bipasha Basu took to her Instagram Stories and shared a note that read, 'Strong women lift each other up. Get those muscles beautiful ladies… we should be strong… muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong!" While Bipasha did not name Mrunal in her Story, the timing suggests that she has reacted to the younger actress's jibe. For the unversed, in a resurfaced video, Mrunal Thakur and her co-star Arjit Taneja were seen giving an interview during their Kumkum Bhagya days. In a friendly moment between the two actors, Mrunal quipped that he might be interested in marrying a strong, muscular woman. Arjit agreed that he wanted to have a physically toned woman in his life. This led Mrunal to remark that he could choose Bipasha Basu. Mrunal Thakur said, 'Do you want to marry a girl who is manly with muscles? Go marry Bipasha." She added, 'Listen, I am far better than Bipasha, okay?" Mrunal Thakur is now facing flak as the resurfaced clip has gone viral across social media platforms. She is yet to react to the video or Bipasha's post. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 21:53 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
