Abhay Singh, famously known as 'IIT Baba' at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, is once again in the spotlight. The reason — a video of him crying has gone viral. In the video, he becomes emotional while speaking and bursts into tears. Abhay remarks, 'I don't like the 'IIT Baba' tag. I don't want popularity. It's time to end the 'IIT Baba' story, as I left behind all illusions and attachments, yet people continue associating them with me. They're linking my name with IIT and calling me Baba.'
With tears in his eyes and a choked voice, Abhay Singh continues, 'I never believed in showcasing. My family would tell people I'm from IIT, but I never said it. Before becoming famous, I was in Prayagraj, sitting anywhere, talking, eating, drinking, and no one noticed me. But now, it's all become difficult.'
