New Delhi: A heartwarming video featuring talking puppets Johny and Tony, and spiritual leader Premanand Govind Sharan, also known as Premanand Ji Maharaj, has gone viral across the internet, filling users with a sense of joy and positivity. The wholesome video shows the spiritual leader laughing uncontrollably as he interacts with the puppets, leading many viewers to tag the video as "wholesome" and "pure-hearted."

The video showcases the delightful interaction between Premanand Ji and the talking puppets, as they engage in a lighthearted conversation, with the puppets even asking the spiritual leader to share his opinion on their cuteness. Premanand Ji is visibly amused, even testing whether the puppets are pre-recorded after they correctly name him, leading to his joyous reaction.

The storyteller behind the puppets, Amar Saxena is the creator of Johny and Tony, two entertaining puppets that have captured the hearts of viewers. Saxena’s performance, characterised by his wit and humour, left the spiritual leader in fits of laughter, contributing to the video's viral status.

However, the video’s popularity has sparked a conversation on social media, with some users praising the positive energy it brings in a world often filled with negativity. "A pure-hearted video in a world full of negativity," one user commented, while others echoed similar sentiments, describing the clip as a refreshing break from the usual content circulating online.

Despite the outpouring of love, some users were quick to point out that Amar Saxena is no stranger to the spotlight. Many recognised him from the controversial reality show 'India’s Got Latent' (IGL), where Saxena made his breakthrough as a contestant. One user wrote, “Please give some credit to Samay Raina. He’s given a platform to many youngsters and talented artists.”

Others voiced their opinion, noting that Saxena's popularity soared after his appearance on 'India’s Got Latent'. "If not for IGL, Amar would have been limited to Instagram reels," one comment read.

Earlier responding to the controversies surrounding 'India’s Got Latent', particularly after an FIR was filed against the show, Amar Saxena shared a heartfelt post on social media expressing his gratitude. He stressed that it was through the show that he gained significant recognition. "Meri Pehchan Is show se mili hai, mujhe Johny and Tony kon hai logo ne iske baad mujhe jaana," he wrote, acknowledging that the show helped him become known to a wider audience.

Saxena also addressed the criticism directed at the show, specifically regarding statements made by Ranveer Allahbadia. Saxena defended the platform, highlighting that while Allahbadia’s comments were inappropriate from an Indian cultural standpoint, criticising the show was unjust.

“Ranveer Allahbadia ne galat bola, Indian culture ke hisaab se wo galat tha, par show ko galat bolna ye theek nahi hai,” he stated. "That show gave a stage to many talented individuals who otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity to showcase their skills. I am one of them."

Amar Saxena didn’t hold back in his praise for comedian Samay Raina, the creator of 'India’s Got Latent'. “Wo Aadmi ne Sabko Hasane ke liye show banaya. Us show ke kai aise artists nikle jo apni art ko India mein chupa ke bethe the,” Saxena added, commending Raina for creating a platform that uplifted numerous hidden artists like himself.
