Khushboo Patani, wellness coach, influencer, and former Army Major also known as the elder sister of actress Disha Patani has stepped forward to clear the air after her viral video sparked a wave of controversy online. The video, in which she condemned spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya for his sexist remarks about women in live-in relationships, gained rapid traction. But soon, some social media users began circulating edited clips falsely suggesting that Khushboo’s comments were aimed at another revered spiritual figure, Premanand Maharaj Ji. ‘Main Isko Samjha Deti Mooh Marna Kya Hota Hai’: Disha Patani’s Sister Khushboo Patani Slams Aniruddhacharya Maharaj Over His Live-In Relationship Remark on Women (Watch Video)

In response, Khushboo issued an official clarification on her Instagram, strongly denying these claims and calling out the spread of misinformation. She stated, “It has come to my notice that a false narrative is being circulated online, mixing my name with revered spiritual figure Premanand Maharaj ji, and spreading baseless claims that I’ve said something about him. Let me make this very clear – I have not made any statement against Premanand Maharaj ji.”

The backlash began when Khushboo had reacted strongly to a viral video of Aniruddhacharya Maharaj, where he made controversial statements implying that most women in live-in relationships have had multiple partners. Calling his remarks regressive and hypocritical, Khushboo’s original video drew a wave of both support and criticism.
