On the day of Skanda Shashti, devotees wake up early, bathe, and adorn clean clothes before commencing the puja. They enshrine a Kartikeya idol in a sanctified space, offer fruits and flowers, light ghee lamps, and read or listen to the story of Kartikeya’s birth. Fasting on Skanda Shashti is believed to bring blessings for long life, prosperity, and victory over adversaries.

The festival holds a poignant tale from the Puranas where Karthikeya, born to Shiva and Parvati, vanquishes the demon Tarakasura, restoring balance and righteousness. Observing the Skanda Shashti fast is said to bestow grace, fertility, and success, making it a revered practice among devotees seeking divine blessings.

Kartikeya and Sudheer Babu have apologized for working with popular YouTuber Praneeth Hanumantu in the past after Sai Dharam Tej, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohith called him out for “joking” about pedophilia. The actors discussed their feelings after the YouTuber made references to an improper father-daughter connection.

Praneeth was cast in Sudheer’s most recent film Harom Hara, and the director apologized, saying he “feel(s) so disgusted” and that he had no “knowledge” of the “pathetic creature this man” was. “I couldn’t even dare to go through everything social media has exposed about him,” he continued. Even though those things aren’t worth puking over, they nonetheless deserve our attention right now. We must ensure that the trash these sick minds wish to propagate is not given a platform. By no means is this speech freedom.
