Updated: Aug 23rd, 2024
Spiritual leader Aniruddha Acharya, who will be appearing on the popular television show “Laughter Chef Fun Unlimited,” has spoken about food, social media, and the film industry’s negative influence on youngsters to a news agency.
When asked, how was the experience in ‘Laughter Chef Fun Unlimited’, Aniruddhacharya Maharaj said, “The people on the Laughter Show and all the staff at the channel are very good and doing excellent work. They are connecting society and also bridging religion through their program. Through the show, we can connect with religion with laughter. Therefore, everyone should definitely watch this show”.
When asked if he wants a biopic made on himself, Maharaj remarked that: “This is a very difficult question to answer. However, I am very happy.Today, there is Bharti, Sudesh and Krushna and the other participants of the show. Today their life is very successful and I believe my life is also fulfilled as I feel that came handy to someone. Today, in Gauri Gopal Ashram, there are many widowed women, where we do seva”.
“They get food and here these people are making everyone laugh, that means that if you have come to this world, nobody should be upset with us. Today, because of my videos on YouTube and social media, people watch it and laugh. I am very happy with that as nobody gets tears because of me. If you laugh because of me, then my life is successful.”
Do you watch films in your free time?
Aniruddhacharya Maharaj: “I watch less but I do. I have seen some old films. I haven’t watched an entire film in years. Today’s new films that are getting made, I have not seen. I have watched “Swarg” and “Baghban”, which has a good portrayal of mother, father and son.”
According to you, who would you give the title of Adipurush and Krishna of Bollywood?
Aniruddhacharya Maharaj: “Bollywood needs to take a turn and change. Bollywood promotes almost everything. They don’t see if they are promoting wrong things, promoting gutka, cigarettes and alcohol. They are promoting wrong things for money. These super-duper stars be it Amitabh Bachchan or anyone else, people take inspiration from them and learn.”
“For the sake of money you should not promote all this because our youth watches them and turn in the wrong direction. We have to safeguard ourselves from wrong things. You are an inspiration for society and people walk on the path you show whether it is right or wrong.
“It is their responsibility to show the right path and not the wrong one. So, they need to change a little. The time of change has begun. If they don’t change. It wouldn’t work.”
When asked if he would like to have a show of his own, he said, “The channel called me and made my presence felt and gave my best as much as I could. When I get a better opportunity then I will do even better because I have now opened up. Since, it was my first time I did good but I could do better. However, if I get an opportunity again, I will do it even better. Rest all these stars are talented and do good”.
Speaking on his viral videos on social media,Maharaj said, “It feels good. The society and the youth get good things to learn from it. Religion is for everyone even if the youth today agree or not. This is why I went on Laughter Chef so that with me there along with food there can be a conversation about religion.
And we could have this good conversation with a laugh and we could reach out to the youth with this. This was the only reason for me to go on the show. I did make people laugh and also told people what the importance of prasad and religion is”.
