Kumar Vishwas was spotted at a poetry event in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, recently, where he received a lot of love and appreciation from the audience for his poetry. However, the former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member made an insensitive statement during his poetry event that has now kick-started a brand new controversy. At the event, Kumar Vishwas took an indirect dig at Shatrughan Sinha after his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha married Zaheer Iqbal, who is from another faith.
For the uninitiated, a few days back, Mukesh Khanna also criticised Shatrughan Sinha for letting his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha marry Zaheer Iqbal. When Mukesh Khanna questioned Shatrughan Sinha's upbringing, Sonakshi Sinha took a stand for her father and defended him with a respectful reply. It will be interesting to see whether Sonakshi will give a fitting response to Kumar Vishwas, who has also indirectly targeted her father with an insensitive remark.
For the uninitiated, the ace poet urged people to make their children aware of Hindu scriptures if they don't want someone from another faith to take them away. In order to explain his warning in a simpler form, Kumar Vishwas mentioned veteran Bollywood actor, Shatrughan Sinha's family. The poet said, “Apne bachhon ko Sita Ji ki behnon aur Bhagwan Ram ke bhaiyon ke naam yaad karaiye. Ek sanket dera hu, jo samajh jae unki taaliya uthe”. After mentioning this, he also urged his audience to make their children read Ramayan and Geeta.

Kumar Vishwas further warned his audience of the consequences and shared that otherwise, your house's name might be Ramayan, but someone from the other faith might still take away your Shree Lakshmi (daughter). As soon as he ended his statement, he received a loud cheer from the audience as everyone was aware of the fact that Sharughan Sinha had named his house Ramayan, and it was his daughter, Sonakshi, who was in an interfaith marriage. In Kumar Vishwas' words:
"Apne bachhon ko Ramayan padhwayi aur Geeta sunwayi. Anya tha aisa na ho ki aapke ghar ka naam to 'Ramayan' ho aur aapke ghar ki Shree Lakshmi ko koi aur uthakar le jaye."
