Mumbai: A televised debate hosted by Hindi daily Amar Ujala spiralled into disorder after yoga guru Baba Ramdev became involved in a physical altercation with another panelist during a live broadcast. What began as a heated exchange of arguments quickly turned into an unexpected scuffle, leaving viewers stunned and social media buzzing.
Videos from the studio, now widely circulated online, show Baba Ramdev attempting to demonstrate a wrestling-style hold while speaking during the discussion. Dressed in his signature saffron attire, Ramdev appeared to illustrate a point using physical movement. However, the moment took an unexpected turn when the other panelist resisted, countered the move, and brought Ramdev down onto the studio floor.
Following the incident, Ramdev reportedly downplayed the episode, stating that the act was done in “fun” and should not be interpreted as aggression. Despite this clarification, the visuals sparked intense reactions, with many questioning the appropriateness of physical conduct during a news debate.
Social media users reacted sharply, blending humour with criticism. While some viewers treated the episode as entertainment, sharing memes and sarcastic remarks, others expressed concern over the deteriorating standards of televised debates. Several users commented that news studios were beginning to resemble “wrestling rings,” accusing channels of prioritising shock value and ratings over serious discussion.
The incident has also revived past controversies linked to Ramdev’s public statements. Earlier this year, his remarks during a television interview on celebrity deaths due to cardiac arrest had triggered backlash, with critics calling his comments insensitive despite his intent to promote yoga and healthy living.
