Disha Patani’s elder sister Khushboo Patani, who commands a strong presence on social media despite not entering the film industry like her younger sibling, has once again found herself at the centre of
a controversy after making remarks about Lord Krishna during a conversation on love, marriage, and live-in relationships. Days after criticising storyteller Aniruddhacharya, Khushboo has now made remarks about Lord Krishna that have triggered a storm of reactions online.
The social media influencer recently spoke about marriage and relationships on her social media handle, during which she made a statement that quickly went viral and drew heavy criticism from several quarters.
In a video shared on her Instagram, Khushboo is heard saying, “(Krishna) bhaaga ke leke aa gaye the Rukimini ko Dwarka (Lord Krishna had brought Rukmini to Dwarka by eloping with her).” She went on to say that some of you will move away thinking that this is not according to society but “Krishna has always broken the norms of society, every time.”

Her interpretation, however, did not sit well with many social media users. The comment section of the post was soon flooded with sharp responses, some accusing her of misrepresenting religious history.
One user wrote, “Hey Kalyug woman… Fool Lord Krishna did not break any rule of society… He broke the bond, which was an obstacle in the protection of religion and dignity.” Another remarked, “She will not improve.”
Some reactions grew more intense, with one person commenting, “Lord Shri Krishna Ji has followed the law to balance religion and religious dignity, not to protect perverted and disgusting acts like yours.” Another user expressed disapproval with the words, “Vinashakalaye viprit buddhi.”
“O Lord, take incarnation now, the influence of these demonic powers is increasing only,” another user expressed his dissatisfaction over her comments.
The video continues to circulate widely, fuelling debate over the boundaries of personal opinion and religious sensitivity in the age of social media.
