The Maha Kumbh Mela has brought with it several viral moments, with many spiritual figures capturing the attention of social media users. Among them, the most talked-about personality has been Abhay Singh, known as the IITian Baba of Maha Kumbh. Abhay Singh, who reportedly left a high-paying job to embrace spirituality, has been at the center of many discussions. Interviews with the Baba went viral, with some expressing concern over his behavior, while others praised his decision to prioritise the spiritual path over a lucrative career. Now, Abhay Singh's name is once again buzzing online, thanks to a female IITian student pursuing her PhD. She has perfectly recreated the persona of IITian Baba, leading to a viral video that has garnered over 14 million. Let’s take a closer look at this viral video.
