Mint23-07-2025
Atheist Krishna, a well-known internet creator celebrated for his humorous memes and touching Photoshop edits, has died due to complications from pneumonia. His passing has shocked his large online following, with tributes pouring in across social media.
Krishna's witty and emotional content had earned him widespread recognition, including praise from Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While his memes often brought laughter, his work also carried emotional depth - especially his restored photographs that touched the hearts of many.
According to a post by X user @nainaverse, Krishna had been unwell and required surgery. However, he developed pneumonia, which worsened his condition. His brother later confirmed via WhatsApp that Krishna passed away at 4:30 am on July 23. His age is not publicly known, but his death at a young age has left fans and fellow creators mourning.
'Woke up to the terrible news of Atheist_Krishna passing away. He was one of the kindest people I met on this platform. On 10th July, he told me he was unwell and needed to be operated on. He caught pneumonia. At that time, he said, 'It would be a miracle if I survive this.' I couldn't stop thinking about it. Just yesterday, I couldn't wait and pinged him..Gone too soon...' @nainaverse wrote, sharing a screenshot of their WhatsApp conversation.
Krishna's creative work had once reached the highest levels. In a heartfelt video message, actor Akshay Kumar shared how he had shown one of Krishna's memes to Prime Minister Modi, who 'had a hearty laugh'.
'Hi Krishna, this is Akshay. Few of my friends know about you and follow your content. They told me about the incredible work you do with your Photoshop skill to bring smile on people's faces. And recently I showed one of your memes to our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he also had a hearty laugh... Keep bringing a smile on people's face with your clean and honest humour. You will receive a lot of blessings. Keep it up, Krishna,' Kumar said in the video.
PM Modi later reposted the video, writing: 'Like all of you, I also enjoyed seeing myself dance. Such creativity in peak poll season is truly a delight!'
Following the news of his death, heartfelt messages from celebrities, fellow content creators, and fans flooded X, where Krishna had nearly 4.3 lakh followers.
Actress Rupali Ganguly wrote: 'The timeline feels emptier today! @Atheist_Krishna wasn't just a master of visual satire, he was emotion wrapped in sarcasm and humour. His Photoshop jokes made us smile and laugh, but his silence today leaves a void. You'll be missed, Krishna. Om Shanti.'
Many fans remembered him as the 'Prince of Funny Photoshop Videos' and highlighted his 'fearless expression' and the emotional depth of his work.
Atheist Krishna may be gone, but the joy he brought through his creativity and compassion will be long remembered by the digital community and beyond.

How Tiger Shroff Reacted To Sister Krishna's Chhoriyan Chali Gaon

Chhoriyan Chali Gaon is a reality show where 11 popular female celebrities, including Krisha Shroff, will live in a village for 60 days. Following an impressive stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi, where she showcased her fearless side. Krishna Shroff is now set for a whole new journey, which is all about going back to basics. She will be next seen in Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, a reality show where 11 popular female celebrities will live in a village for 60 days, completely cut off from modern life. On the show, they will be seen embracing a real desi lifestyle, cooking on chulhas, fetching water and learning village traditions, a whole new world for them. In a candid chat, Krishna shared her family's reaction to her participation in the show. Sharing her father Jackie Shroff and brother Tiger Shroff's reaction, Krishna told Times of India, 'My father was so thrilled when he learned about this, he was like, 'You have to do this.' All that he believes in, all that he promotes, this show represents that. I feel like by going through this process, I'll get to know him better." Tiger Shroff's Reaction As for Tiger and her mother's reaction, she added, 'My brother was like, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' He knows how much I love my comfort. My mother is excited about the idea but anxious about the time away. We are very close. This distance is new to both of us, but I think we'll emerge from it stronger." Why Krishna Shroff Signed Up For Chhoriyaan Chali Gao For Krishna Shroff, signing up for Chhoriyaan Chali Gao is more about embracing discomfort for growth instead of leaving comfort. And the real challenge for her? To stay away from family for such a long time. 'I'll return stronger and more independent," she remarked. Well, there is a reason why Krishna Shroff opted for another reality show after Khatron Ke Khiladi. She admitted that she enjoys the reality space, calling it 'raw, real, and fun." Krishna continued that it is a dream to be able to be yourself and get paid for it. Moving ahead in the chat, Krishna also added that reality space allows her to be myself and that she loves introducing herself to people as Just Krishna. 'I enjoy it when people know me," she said.

The Music Academy's Mid-Year Dance Festival showcases another promising artiste

As part of The Music Academy's Mid-Year Dance Festival, Bharatanatyam dancer Aswathi K. and disciple of Shijith Nambiar and Parvathy Menon, presented a solo performance, seamlessly weaving bhakti and storytelling. The evening opened with an alarippu followed by 'Sri jalandhara', a keerthanam in Gambhira Nattai set to Adi tala, composed by Jayachamaraja Wodeyar. The hymn praised Shiva as the Supreme Yogi, adorned with the Ganga, the crescent moon, and the serpent. Aswathi brought alive the majesty of the deity through clear lines and expressive abhinaya, capturing his cosmic energy and the fierce destruction of Tripura and Taraka. The references to sacred spaces such as Arunachala, Sri Kalahasti and Chidambaram were presented with reverence, anchoring the piece in devotional imagery. The central piece of the evening was the varnam 'Vanajaksha' in Behag, composed by T.R. Subramaniam, which gave the dancer ample scope to display her technical agility and narrative sensitivity. Centered on Krishna, the piece unfolded through intricate jathis, interwoven with expressive storytelling. Her portrayal of the serpent Kaliya, subdued by Krishna, was particularly striking, the swift-coiling movements contrasting with Krishna's calm, commanding grace. In the final piece, the tone shifted to that of quiet anguish. Set in raga Husseni, 'Eppadi manam thunindatho', a Ramanataka kriti by Arunachala Kavi, voiced Sita's heartache as she questioned Rama's decision to leave her behind. Aswathi's abhinaya was moving, allowing the audience to feel Sita's disbelief and sorrow. Her portrayal conveyed emotional maturity, closing the performance on a note of poignant reflection. The orchestra included Janani Hamsini Narasimhan on vocals, K.P. Nandini on the violin, Chardutt V.V. on the mridangam and Shijith Nambiar on the nattuvangam. Aswathi's performance stood out for her sincere engagement with the themes she chose. It was a fine addition to the Music Academy's mid-year celebration of classical dance.
