Viral Video Controversy: ‘Khulhad Pizza’ couple seek public support amid viral video controversy
[ad_1]
NEW DELHI: Punjab’s “Khulhad Pizza” couple, who recently got enmeshed in controversy after a video purportedly showing them in a compromised position went viral, has appealed for public support.
Social Media fame Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur, parents of a newborn, have alleged that the viral video was part of an extortion bid that refused to comply. The duo have claimed the clip to be “morphed”.
“You may have encountered a video featuring us, which is entirely fabricated. The video circulated due to an incident that occurred 15 days ago when we received an extortion threat on Instagram, along with the video in question,” Sehaj claimed in Punjabi on his official Instagram account on Thursday.
“The wrongdoer threatened to make the video go viral if their demands were not met…We chose not to comply with the demand and reported the incident to the police,” he added.
Sehaj said after registering the complaint — the duo got occupied as they had become parents. However, they came across the video — which Sehaj claimed — was made using “artificial intelligence”.
He also appealed to the public to respect their privacy.
Days later he posted another video, appealing to people to avoid sharing the viral clip as the incident had taken a mental toll on his family.
He also said his home is gutted with grief when there actually should have been a celebration.
The Khulhad Pizza proprietor also accused Karan Dutta, a YouTuber, of circulating the fake clip. However, Karan Dutta outrightly refuted the allegations levelled against him.
Meanwhile, Sehaj Arora has claimed that a woman who blackmailed the Jalandhar duo has been arrested by the police.
Sehaj Arora and his wife became well-known for introducing an innovative pizza concept on a Jalandhar street in Punjab, serving it in kulhads. Their videos demonstrating the pizza-making process gained significant traction on social media, and in these videos, the couple also recounted their love story leading up to their marriage.
