Public image and controversies
Aniruddhacharya has faced public criticism for controversial remarks.
In July 2025, Aniruddhacharya faced criticism after a video of his remarks at the Gauri Gopal Ashram in Vrindavan circulated on social media. In the clip, he commented on women marrying at or after the age of 25, implying that some may have been involved in multiple relationships. The remarks were widely condemned as sexist, prompting criticism from women’s rights groups, lawyers, and public figures. [15]
In August 2025, he issued an apology following backlash over his remark that "unmarried women have loose character." [16]
In September 2024, he issued an apology following backlash over a statement involving Lord Shiva. [17] He has also been criticised for comments regarding clothing and sexual violence. [18] [19] He has also been the subject of internet memes, particularly for his remarks on topics such as food and daily habits. [20] [21] [22]
In 2022, he drew widespread criticism after making controversial remarks about women during a religious discourse. He claimed that excessive beauty in women is a fault, suggesting that figures from Hindu mythology like Sita and Draupadi suffered because they were "more beautiful than necessary." [23] The comments were widely condemned as misogynistic and blamed for promoting a victim-blaming mindset. Public figures and social media users criticised the statement, and an FIR was filed in Mathura for allegedly insulting revered female figures of Hinduism. [23]
