Atheist Krishna, whose actual name was Radhakrishna Panga, became popular throughout Odisha, subsequently living in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad.

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar also praised Krishna, describing in a 2019 video how Modi had out rightly laughed at one of his memes and made Krishna go viral on the internet.

Apart from humor, Krishna’s skill was also seen in repairing old, torn photographs, giving life to fond memories. His Photoshop edits of old family photos, sometimes posted on X, also found favor, providing emotional comfort to thousands of fans. With a following of more than 4.3 lakh people, his work was not mere entertainment, with sarcasm mixed with emotions.

Untimely Death, A Grieving Community

Krishna’s premature death, exact age not disclosed, shocked the online community. On July 10, he had confided to X user @nainaverse about his health declining, stating, “It would be a miracle if I survive this”.

His demise was confirmed by his brother at 4:30 AM on July 23 via WhatsApp. Condolences flooded X, with actress Rupali Ganguly calling him a “master of visual satire” whose passing leaves a “void”. Fans and artists themselves continue to rejoice in Krishna’s legacy, keeping his artistic flame alive in India’s cyber culture.
