From rampwalks to religious fervor, Harsha Rinchariya’s journey enthralled many at Mahakumbh. But the ex-model turned sadhvi is bowing out, pointing to sabotage by influential spiritual figures without mincing words on their intent.
Bhopal buzzes with her revelation: she’s resuming modeling because ‘those on the gaddi refuse to let me advance.’ Harassment persists, she told reporters, vowing not to name culprits.
Her pivot stems from harsh truths. ‘I sacrificed my career for spirituality, but saints rely on alms—I can’t. True propagation needs self-sufficiency,’ she reasoned. Balancing acts will now fund her mission.
Financial independence is key. ‘Daily needs demand cash; loans aren’t endless,’ she noted amid attacks on her decisions and integrity, devoid of any backing.
Accusations fly selectively. ‘I won’t name them as they’re scheming nonstop. Discomfort is fair, but engineering constant hurdles to derail my life? Unethical. Certain sadhus engage in this suppression.’
Defending her faith stance, ‘Claiming I adopted Sanatan Dharma is absurd—it’s my birthright. I halted programs for youth and women via digital and events, not forsaken the dharma.’
Ambitions to empower young women religiously crumbled under opposition. ‘Throne-sitters oppose my societal good,’ she accused, exposing rifts where power plays hinder reformers in sacred spaces.
