The controversy surrounding India’s Got Talent refuses to die down. The issue began when popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia asked a contestant a disrespectful question about parents, which quickly went viral. This brought comedian Samay Raina and others into the spotlight, leading to FIRs being filed against them in multiple states.
Several celebrities, including singers and actors, have condemned the incident. Now, poet Kumar Vishwas has also reacted, referencing a text by Kalidas to offer his perspective.
Kalidas’ incomplete text
On March 16, Kumar Vishwas shared a video on Instagram, allegedly taking a dig at Ranveer Allahabadia and Samay Raina. He reportedly addressed the controversy indirectly and said, “A recent show aired a lot of filth. The channel approached me, and some friends urged me to comment, but I chose to stay silent. One of those kids even appeared on my podcast—he seemed nice and even got emotional, saying he felt like crying in my presence.”
He further added, “We have a great poet, Kalidas, who wrote only one epic that remains incomplete—Kumarasambhavam. It was meant to be presented on the birthday of Kumar, the son of the king of that time. Kalidas dedicated himself to writing it, depicting the marriage of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, leading to the birth of Kumar Kartikeya.”
Kumar Vishwas shared the story
The poet then addressed those creating and consuming obscene content, urging them to take note. He explained that Kalidas began writing about Goddess Parvati’s Aparna fast, how she met Lord Shiva, and their eventual marriage. Everything was progressing smoothly until Kalidas started describing their private moments. It is said that at this point, Goddess Parvati called upon Saraswati and questioned who this fool was, writing about the intimate details of parents.
Then, Goddess Saraswati replied that Kalidas was the greatest poet in the world. However, Goddess Parvati insisted that despite his talent, he should never be able to write again. As a result, Kalidas suffered paralysis and could not write another word. Kumar Vishwas emphasized that words are divine, and if misused, they can invite the wrath of Goddess Saraswati, no matter how great the writer is. His video has been well-received by audiences.
