[1][2] Vishwas was born on 10 February 1970 in a middle-class family in the town of Pilkhuwa in Uttar Pradesh, where he studied at Lala Ganga Sahay School.

[3] Vishwas hosts a comedy show called KV Sammelan on the Aaj Tak television channel that first premiered on 29 September 2018.

He has participated in poetry recitations and functions abroad including the US, UK, Dubai, Oman,[6] Singapore and Japan.

Thereafter, as the movement faded and morphed into what is today known as the AAP, led by Kejriwal, he was asked to become a member of its national executive.

[8] He contested the 2014 Lok Sabha election as an AAP candidate from Amethi, but lost to then incumbent Rahul Gandhi, securing only 25,527 votes.

[14][15][16] As elections approached, a doctored video clip from a Kavi sammelan went viral in which he was shown making alleged derogatory remarks about Imam Hussain and Hindu deities and nurses from Kerala.

The courts ordered a FIR to be registered because of the complaint[21] but an investigation by Delhi Police found no significant evidence to substantiate it.

Hira also warned Vishwas of criminal complaint if he fails to visit Sri Akal Takht Sahib and apologise.
