Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 runner-up Abhishek Malhan, known online as Fukra Insaan, has slammed a viral social media thread claiming to “expose” him through leaked personal chats. The controversy erupted after a Reddit thread titled “Bhaiii kyaaa ye bhiiii” began circulating, featuring screenshots of alleged flirtatious messages between the influencer and a girl from Kolkata.
However, Malhan quickly dismantled the allegations using a simple technical detail: emoji formatting.
The “Emoji Evidence”
Addressing the rumors on his Instagram story, Abhishek pointed out a glaring error made by the creators of the fake chats.
“Bhai agar tum meri koi bhi chat online aur uske andar emoji dikh gaya tumhe android ka to bhai expose ho gaya chat banane wala (If you see an Android emoji in any chat of mine online, the creator is exposed right there),” he stated.
Abhishek clarified that he is a dedicated iPhone user, whereas the viral screenshots featured Android-style emojis. This technical mismatch has become a primary defense for celebrities targeted by a new, aggressive social media trend of “expose” threads.
The “Expose” Trend: A Rising Digital Menace
The incident involving Abhishek Malhan is not an isolated one. In early 2026, a disturbing trend has emerged on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), where unverified chat logs are used to target high-profile figures.
| Targeted Celebrity | Nature of Allegations | Status |
| Abhishek Malhan | Alleged messages to a girl in Kolkata. | Confirmed Fake by Malhan. |
| Anuj Jain | Alleged leaked chats with a woman. | Unverified; Singer has yet to officially comment. |
| Karan Aujla | Viral rumors regarding personal conduct. | Unverified; Part of a broader “cheating” gossip trend. |
| Jay Bhanushali | Rumors involving domestic life/scandals. | Denied; Actor has dismissed the claims as baseless. |
| Kartik Aaryan | Vague “expose” threads regarding past relationships. | Unverified; Likely “nostalgia bait” or fan-wars. |
Red Flags for Fake Chats
Cyber experts warn that these threads often use “AI Slop” or manual editing tools to mimic interface designs. Key signs of fabrication include:
- Inconsistent Fonts: Subtle differences in text alignment or weight.
- Emoji Mismatch: Using Android emojis on an iPhone UI (as seen in Abhishek’s case).
- Blurry Selfies: Photos of the celebrity (often publicly available) pasted next to a blurred-out “victim” to create a false sense of intimacy.
