CM Nitish Kumar's son Nishant Kumar visits Vrindavan, simplicity wins hearts

Nishant Kumar, son of Bihar CM, visits Vrindavan in an e-rickshaw without security. His low-profile, humble conduct wins hearts and sparks discussion.

"He should have visited Vrindavan earlier... If he had visited earlier, there would have been more glow on his face. - Tej Pratap Yadav"

Patna, Feb 4

Nishant Kumar, son of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, visited the holy town of Vrindavan with his family on Wednesday for darshan and prayers.

The visit drew public attention not for any political significance, but for Nishant Kumar's striking simplicity and low-profile conduct. He was seen travelling through the narrow lanes of Vrindavan in an e-rickshaw, without any elaborate entourage or visible security presence.

Locals were visibly surprised to see the Chief Minister's son moving about quietly and casually, blending seamlessly into the spiritual ambience of the town.

Several photographs and videos from the visit surfaced on social media, showing Nishant Kumar walking through the streets, visiting temples, spending time near water bodies, and travelling like an ordinary pilgrim.

Tej Pratap Yadav, son of Lalu Prasad, speaking to IANS, said, "He should have visited Vrindavan earlier. I have already visited Vrindavan, Barsana and other places there. Nishant has started now. If he had visited earlier, there would have been more glow on his face."

His understated presence conveyed a strong message of humility and simplicity, earning appreciation from many.

Known for staying away from the public glare, Nishant Kumar is rarely seen at political or social events. Though his name is occasionally discussed in Bihar's political circles, he has consistently maintained that he has no interest in active politics and prefers a quiet personal life.

Born on July 20, 1975, Nishant Kumar will turn 50 in 2026. He is the only son of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his late wife Manju Sinha, a school teacher who passed away in 2007.

He completed his early education at St. Karen's School in Patna and later studied at Manav Bharti India International School, Mussoorie. He went on to pursue software engineering from Birla Institute of Technology (BIT), Mesra, Ranchi.

Over the years, Nishant Kumar has largely devoted himself to personal and spiritual pursuits, consciously avoiding political engagement. However, his occasional public appearances in recent years have sparked renewed political speculation in Bihar.

His Vrindavan visit, marked by humility and simplicity, once again underscored his preference for a grounded, low-key lifestyle, leaving a quiet yet lasting impression on those who witnessed it.

While I appreciate the simplicity, let's not get carried away. This is one visit. The real test is consistent behavior. Also, Tej Pratap Yadav's comment about "glow on his face" was unnecessary - spirituality isn't a competition. Focus should be on the devotion, not political one-upmanship.

Vrindavan is the perfect place for such a quiet visit. The lanes are narrow and the atmosphere is devotional. Going without a big entourage is the only way to truly experience it. Good to see him respecting the sanctity of the place. Jai Shri Krishna!

As someone who has visited Vrindavan, I can say it's heartwarming to see anyone, especially from a prominent family, blending in as a simple pilgrim. The photos show a genuine connection to the place, not a staged photo-op. That matters.

He's a BIT Mesra software engineer choosing a spiritual path over politics. That itself is a powerful statement in today's India. Respect for his choices. We need more educated people in public life with this kind of grounded perspective.

The article says he's consciously avoided politics. In Bihar, that's a rare quality for a CM's son. Whether this visit sparks speculation or not, his consistent low-profile life deserves appreciation. It's not easy to stay out of the limelight with that surname.
