Pawan Kalyan's Old Video on Christianity Goes Viral Amid Hinduism Comments
HYDERABAD, India — An old video of actor Pawan Kalyan discussing Christianity has resurfaced, going viral just as he made headlines for defending Hinduism during a media interaction. Kalyan, who recently spoke passionately about Hindu pride and criticized jokes made about Hindu practices, is now facing scrutiny for his previous remarks on Christianity.
In the viral clip, Kalyan reveals, “I have attended churches and been baptized,” acknowledging his children as traditional Christians. He expressed admiration for Christianity, noting the widespread support it receives and his own visit to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.

This contrasts sharply with his recent statements where he urged people to respect Hindu beliefs and questioned why jokes about Jesus or Islam are often unacceptable. Following a controversy regarding the Tirupati laddu issue, Kalyan's alignment with Hindu nationalism has been a topic of discussion on social media.
Critics are now questioning Kalyan’s authority to speak on Hinduism given his acknowledgment of Christianity, prompting comments that label him as "not a true Hindu." As reactions mount, the actor's complex relationship with religion continues to capture public attention.
