In a shocking turn of events, renowned entrepreneur and motivational speaker Vivek Bindra finds himself entangled in a web of controversies, from allegations of domestic abuse to a 500-crore “scam” accusation by fellow YouTuber Sandeep Maheshwari.
Domestic Abuse Allegations:
Vivek Bindra, known for his motivational talks, faces serious accusations of assaulting his wife, Yanika, just days after their December 6 wedding. An FIR was filed on December 14 by Yanika’s brother, Vaibhav Kwatra, at Noida’s Sector 126 police station. The complaint alleges that Bindra subjected Yanika to verbal abuse, physical assault, and damaged her phone, resulting in impaired hearing. The police have initiated an investigation, promising appropriate action based on the findings.
Sandeep Maheshwari’s 500-Crore ‘Scam’ Accusation:
Adding fuel to the fire, Sandeep Maheshwari, another prominent figure in the motivational speaking circuit, released a video titled ‘Big Scam Exposed,’ accusing Bindra of orchestrating a colossal scam. Maheshwari alleges that Bindra’s course operates like a multi-level marketing scheme, extracting vast sums, close to ₹500 crores, from students under the guise of teaching “business.” Bindra vehemently denies these allegations, responding with a counter-challenge on his YouTube channel. The conflict escalates as Bindra claims threats against his legal team and intrusion into his property by Maheshwari’s employees.
Controversies Galore:
This isn’t the first time Bindra has found himself in the eye of a storm. In June 2022, he faced backlash from the Sikh community for an animated depiction of Guru Gobind Singh in one of his videos, leading to demands for an apology. In 2018, Bindra clashed with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), which filed a case accusing him of using defamatory language against doctors. Despite the threat of a ₹50 crore defamation suit, Bindra emerged victorious, with the court emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression.
Vivek Bindra’s once-unblemished reputation now stands at a crossroads, with a police investigation into the domestic abuse allegations and a bitter public feud with Sandeep Maheshwari over the alleged financial improprieties. As the controversies unfold, the motivational speaking community braces for potential repercussions on the industry’s credibility.
