New Delhi (India): Abhinav Arora, a 10-year-old spiritual content creator, recently spoke out about the trolling he faced earlier this year following an old video in which he mentioned that his mother doesn’t eat non-vegetarian food but cooks chicken for him. The video, which resurfaced online, led to significant backlash, and Abhinav took the opportunity to explain the context behind it.
In an interview with media, Abhinav clarified that the video, which dates back to the lockdown period, was based on a poem he had heard online. He emphasized that his words were not his own but a repetition of what he had come across, and that he is a strict vegetarian who doesn’t even consume onion or garlic. “The video is from the lockdown. It’s a very old video, around three to four years old. People have focused on just one line and targeted me. But I had only repeated a poem I heard online. I am a pure vegetarian and don’t even eat onion or garlic,” he explained.
Responding to questions about whether his parents force him to make videos, Abhinav stated that he creates content on his own terms and that everything he says comes from his heart. He added that his parents, while supportive, do not impose anything on him. “Whatever I do, I do it from my heart. Whatever I say is not something I’ve been taught or made to memorize. I say it from my heart. Yes, my parents support me, and I consider myself very lucky to have such supportive parents,” he said.
Abhinav also spoke about his deep connection to Sanatan Dharma and his desire to promote its teachings. Addressing the allegations against him, he expressed his disappointment, comparing his passion for sharing devotion to how children naturally want to share any skill or knowledge they acquire. “I want to promote Sanatan Dharma. The allegations against me are very unfortunate. When a child learns something, like football, they want to show others. If they learn cricket, they want to teach it to others. Similarly, I enjoy devotion and sharing it. If I show my devotion, people seem to have a problem,” Abhinav shared.
Despite the criticism, Abhinav remains steadfast in his belief and continues to share his spiritual journey, with the support of his family and a deep connection to his faith.
