The digital world is currently abuzz with the dramatic fallout between Chandrika Dixit, famously known as the “Vada Pav Girl,” and her husband, Yugam Gera. What began as a viral success story of a street food vendor turned reality star has now morphed into a high-stakes public soap opera involving allegations of infidelity, religious conversion rumors, and a “new lover.”
Here is an updated look at the controversy that has taken social media by storm.
On February 2, 2026, Chandrika Dixit shared a heart-wrenching video on her Instagram handle. Visibly distraught and teary-eyed, the former Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant accused Yugam Gera of having an extra-marital affair for over two months.
In the clip, she claimed to have “proof” (saboot), flashing screenshots of WhatsApp chats and photographs of Yugam with another woman.
“I’m managing the house, the child, the shop, and the work… and you’re doing this? Who is this girl roaming around you?” she questioned in the viral post.
The controversy took an unexpected turn when Chandrika posted a video celebrating Shab-e-Baraat. Dressed in traditional attire and seen with a man by her side, the video instantly triggered rumors about her personal life.
Not one to stay quiet, Yugam Gera hit back with his own video response, turning the “evidence” game on its head. While he admitted to making a “mistake,” he claimed it was nowhere near as severe as Chandrika portrayed.
In a bold counter-accusation, Yugam alleged that Chandrika herself is involved with someone else. He shared a clip featuring her with another man, sarcastically asking, “Who is this guy?”
“You can roam with whoever you want—your new lover or whoever—I don’t care,” Yugam stated, adding a sting to the tail by reminding her, “The restaurant you’re running exists because of me. I made you.”
The internet is divided. While many fans have offered Chandrika emotional support, a significant portion of the audience is skeptical. Critics have pointed out the “clean” editing and lack of actual tears in some of the videos, labeling the entire ordeal a publicity stunt to stay relevant or promote a new project.
| Argument for “Real” | Argument for “Drama” |
| Specific chat logs and photos shared. | High-quality production of “breakdown” videos. |
| Visible emotional distress in long-form clips. | Perfectly timed response videos from both sides. |
| History of personal struggle in Delhi. | Both parties mention “evidence” but never take legal action. |
As of today, neither party has confirmed legal separation or divorce proceedings. However, with both sides claiming to have “more proof,” this digital battle is likely far from over.
