Mahakumbh 2025: IIT Baba Abhay Singh breaks down in new video, says ' 'Mujhe yeh fame....'

Mahakumbh has become a hotspot for viral content, with many babas gaining attention through their videos on social media. One such baba is Abhay Singh, widely known as IIT Baba. His videos, where he speaks on various topics, have garnered significant views, making him a well-known figure. In a recent emotional video, Abhay Singh is seen breaking down as he talks about the discomfort his fame has brought him.

In the video, Abhay Singh opens up about how he never desired to be called "IIT Baba." He says, "I don’t want this fame. I wish I could go back to a time when no one knew me." He explains that the same recognition that once helped him connect with others now feels like a burden. The IIT tag, which is now associated with his name, troubles him, as it goes against the spiritual journey he started with the intention of leaving materialistic attachments behind.

The emotional video shows Abhay shedding tears as he talks about the challenges he faces because of his fame. While he is unbothered by the insults or criticism, he confesses that questioning his intentions hurts him deeply. “I’m just trying to live my life,” he says, stressing that he doesn’t seek fame or recognition.

Abhay reflects on his past in Prayagraj when he wasn’t well-known and could freely interact with his friends. He also shares the emotional struggles of his sister’s pregnancy and his father’s behavior towards his mother, which affected him deeply. As he recalls these personal memories, Abhay’s tears highlight the toll his past experiences have had on him. Despite his fame, he yearns for the simple, peaceful life he once had.
