Renowned poet Kumar Vishwas has ignited a controversy with remarks made at a public event in Uttar Pradesh, perceived as a veiled jibe at actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha and his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha. The comments appeared to reference Sonakshi’s recent interfaith marriage to actor Zaheer Iqbal.

During the event, Vishwas alluded to teaching cultural epics like the Ramayana to children, insinuating that failure to do so could lead to a loss within the household. Observers quickly connected this statement to Shatrughan Sinha’s Mumbai residence, named ‘Ramayana,’ and interpreted it as a critique of Sonakshi’s choice of life partner.
The remarks sparked an uproar on social media and drew sharp criticism from political leaders and the public alike. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate lambasted Vishwas for what she termed “lewd” and “demeaning” comments, questioning the implication that daughters lack autonomy in choosing their partners. Another Congress leader, Surendra Rajput, labeled the remarks as disgraceful and warned of karmic repercussions.
Public opinion on the matter has been divided, with many condemning the poet’s statements as insensitive and promoting intolerance. As of now, Vishwas has refrained from addressing the backlash. The incident has further fueled discussions on personal freedom and respect in interfaith marriages.
