Akanksha Chamola Addresses Online Trolling in Viral Spiritual Gathering Video Amid Growing Public Attention

The video, reportedly recorded during a spiritual gathering led by spiritual master Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, shows Akanksha Chamola introducing herself as an actor from Mumbai. In the clip, she begins with a devotional greeting, stating, “Hail Lord Rama, spiritual master. My name is Akanksha Chamola. I am from Mumbai. I am also an actor.”

She goes on to reflect on the pressures faced by performers in the entertainment industry, stating that public judgment is constant and often harsh. She remarks that she is often “accused” of being excessively cheerful and bubbly, adding that her natural joyful personality is frequently questioned by audiences and social media users.

Chamola, known for her work in television productions including “Santoshi Maa,” “Yeh Hai Aashiqui,” and “Crime Patrol,” further explains that her expressive and cheerful behavior is often misunderstood. She questions whether sadness has become socially expected, stating that people appear uncomfortable when she dances, smiles, or remains consistently joyful.

Responding to her concerns, spiritual master Sri Sri Ravi Shankar stated that external approval should not determine personal emotional well-being, adding that individuals should remain joyful in their own way. He also referenced a popular philosophical line suggesting that people will always speak about others regardless of actions.
