Who was Atheist Krishna?
Krishna, who used the name Atheist Krishna for his social media identity, was known for creating soulful, impactful content. He gained a following for his sharply timed satire, clever memes, and emotional Photoshop edits. One of his most cherished contributions was editing photos to include long-lost parents or grandparents—making it appear as though they were present in cherished family moments.
His page grew from strength to strength, resonating with netizens across the internet. Such was his popularity that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actor Akshay Kumar acknowledged his work.
In a video message to Krishna, Akshay Kumar praised the content creator and revealed that one of Krishna's edits even made the Prime Minister laugh.
“Hi Krishna, this is Akshay,” the actor had said in the message. “Some of my friends follow your content and showed me the incredible work you do with Photoshop to bring smiles to people’s faces. I recently showed one of your memes to our Prime Minister, and he had a hearty laugh. Keep spreading joy with your clean and honest humour.”

Krishna had been unwell for some time and was reportedly preparing for surgery when he contracted pneumonia. His condition deteriorated quickly, and he passed away at 4:30 AM on Tuesday.

A user on X (formerly Twitter) with the handle @nainaverse shared screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation with Krishna’s brother, confirming the news, as reported by NDTV.

He caught pneumonia.
At that time, he said “it would be a miracle if I survive this.”
