He shared, “When Covid happened, many people were distressed. People, who were at an advance stage, felt that they would be no more any moment. They were scared. I helped in eliminating that. I didn’t say I was Amitabh Bachchan, but they thought I am him. I told them that there was a time when I was sick and the entire country was praying for me. And today, you are sick, I will pray for you. You don’t need to worry. Within 4-5 days, they felt motivated and even went home after recovering. Since then, I go to the hospital and motivate cancer patients by reciting poems for them. They become happy. I just want to make people happy all my life, that’s my goal now.”

Premanand Maharaj appreciated Shashikant Pedwal and replied, “Bhagwan sab jagah nahi pahuch sakte, aap toh pahuch sakte hain. Yeh acha kiya unhone (Giving happiness to others is the greatest virtue. God cannot reach everywhere, so he has entrusted this work to people like you).”

After sharing his story, Amitabh Bachchan’s lookalike asked Maharaj how he could continue his work. The spiritual leader advised him to chant God’s name while meeting people. He said that he should give them comfort of the almighty’s name in his journey.

For the unversed, several well-known personalities have also visited Premanand Maharaj to seek his blessings — including Union Minister Anurag Thakur, cricketer Virat Kohli, and actor Anushka Sharma.
