Bollywood actress Disha Patani’s elder sister, Khushboo Patani, recently came into the spotlight after one of her remarks sparked a major controversy. The issue escalated so much that gunshots were fired outside her family home in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The matter began when Khushboo criticized religious preacher Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj for his disapproval of live-in relationships. However, her statement was misinterpreted and linked to Premanand Ji Maharaj, who is also known for his strict views against modern relationships among youth.
