“I have resumed teaching after taking antidepressants for the past two years. I cannot take those comments back, but I sincerely regret what I said since it has caused me a great deal of pain.” He admitted that he shouldn’t have spoken all that.
Additionally, Vashishth stated that he had ceased teaching for two years and had issued numerous sincere apologies. He said, “Those comments were over some video and I regret to have said all that,” delivering an apology over the five-year-old footage. Notably, Vashishth had previously been targeted by Jaipur police at that moment.
Why did Aman seek apology?
This is in response to one of his older videos poking fun at King Dashrath and his wives going viral on social media. “King Dashrath was disappointed because he couldn’t have children. Later, he went to Guru Vashishth, who did a havan and served kheer to King Dashrath’s ladies. The three ladies subsequently revealed their pregnancies, but none of their offspring had faces that resembled King Dashrath,” he remarked, making fun of the Ramayana event.
Later, he continued, “Nobody in the entire Ramayana was ever happy, and Lord Rama had also lost his one and only source of amusement and diversion after Goddess Sita was kidnapped by Ravana.”
It is deeply concerning to know that Aman Vasisth is spreading misinformation and hate towards our religious beliefs. @jaipur_police, please take prompt action and ensure that he is held accountable for his actions. @unacademy sack him ASAP and apologise to hindus @gauravmunjal pic.twitter.com/sbZ8wwLUEK

According to reports, Vashishth made this joke during one of his lectures, and the students were heard laughing aloud in response. However, the teacher who has joined the “Careerwill App” tutoring now, according to one of the Twitter users known only as “The Random Indian,” has apologised and asked for forgiveness for the false accusations that went viral.
It’s interesting to note that Aman Vashishth also has a mobile application for teaching English under the name AVS, which stands for “Aman Vashishth Sir.” The most recent update to the app occurred in 2022.
