8 Internet Celebrities who fell prey to Leaked Video Scandals (2024)

"I don’t want anyone else to endure the misery."

We are living in an era where the online world is at the centre of our existence like never before and with that comes the risk of leaked video scandals.

These incidents are shocking when they occur and can have devastating results for the victims.

In a world where AI and digital technology are raging, there are several internet celebrities who have faced these controversies.

They found themselves embroiled in these scandals and while some have remained silent, others have taken the crucial step of speaking out.

Join us as we delve into these influencers and the controversies they were involved in.

DESIblitz presents eight South Asian internet celebrities who fell prey to leaked video scandals.

Hareem Shah

Hareem Shah is known in the TikTok realm, dividing users with her controversial content.

It was a truly shocking turn of events when she suffered a series of explicit video scandals.

Nude videos of the Pakistani celebrity emerged online.

Hareem admitted that the videos were of her and that they were leaked by her former friends Sandal Khattak and Ayesha Naz:

“I filmed these videos myself on my mobile phone a few years ago.

“I had received threats from Sandal and Ayesha, saying that they would make my videos viral.

“They leaked my personal video by stealing them from my phone out of jealous and envy.”

Hareem’s husband Bilal added: “Hareem told me that she had filed a complaint to the FIA a year before these videos went viral but the FIA told her to wait till the content is made public.”

In 2024, another video emerged of the influencer allegedly performing a sex act on a man.

The woman’s face was covered so it cannot be confirmed whether the woman was indeed Hareem.

However, Hareem suggested no explicit videos of her exist and that it was a campaign to malign her image.

‘Kulhad Pizza’ Couple

Known as the ‘Kulhad Pizza’ couple of Punjab, this pair of food influencers comprises of Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur.

In September 2023, they became the victims of a sextape leak.

Addressing the video, Sehaj insisted that it was a “morphed” clip and said:

“You may have come across a video of us. It is completely fake.

“The reason behind its circulation is that 15 days ago, we got a message on Instagram about an extortion bid along with the video.

“The miscreant claimed they would make a video viral if the demand was not met.

“But we did not give in to the demand and reported the incident to the police.

“A home where there should be celebrations, is now engulfed in distress and sorrow.”

Sehaj also alleged that the YouTuber Karan Dutta spread the video. However, Karan denied this claim.

Sehaj and Gurpreet are the ‘Kulhad Pizza’ couple after rising to fame in 2022 when a clip of them selling pizzas went viral online.

Karmita Kaur

Continuing with Punjabi influencers, we come to the famous Karmita Kaur.

The internet celebrity’s world was torn apart in October 2023.

A viral clip circulated online that purportedly showed a naked Karmita.

Karmita insisted that the woman in the video was not her.

The aforementioned Karan Dutta defended her, saying:

“It is an AI-generated video of Karmita, who has black-coloured hair and a slightly broader body shape, the girl in the video is thin.

“You have done everything and got the photo.

“Blind devotees are living without thinking, without seeing why, which means spoiling someone’s life.

“We speak only about what is real, or we speak about what is right.”

Karmita filed a case against the people who uploaded the video.

Gungun Gupta

In November 2023, Indian influencer Gungun Gupta became another name on the list of internet celebrities who have experienced leaked video scandals.

Gungun is an Instagram sensation, melding her lip-syncing with colourful clothing to impress over seven million followers.

A viral clip purportedly showed Gungun performing a sex act for a male caller. She lowered her trousers and lifted her top.

According to the video, the caller’s name was reportedly Deepu Chawla. It was believed that he was in a relationship with the influencer.

Gungun’s scandal garnered polarising responses.

One user supporting the influencer said: “Her boyfriend leaks her private video…WITHOUT consent.

“No guys. It is NOT some leak. It is an intentional sexual crime.”

On the other hand, another questioned whether the explicit clip was intentionally leaked.

They said: “Why is there a need for celebrities to do such videos which may be leaked in future or is it a planned and executed move!”

Gungun seemingly broke her silence on the matter during Diwali 2023.

Taking to her Instagram profile, she wrote: “Stop it, all. I’m not strong enough. I want to tell you all everything in a bit of time.

“Or people who do all these edits just for views and defamation but do not think that all these things destroy a person’s life.

“And then you people just want a chance to judge but it doesn’t matter.”

Aliza Sehar

Aliza Sehar is a Pakistani YouTuber who has carved a niche for herself in the world of virtual fame.

Unfortunately, the star was unaware that she was being recorded during a video call.

In the clip, she reportedly lifted her top, baring all for a man.

The incident led to rumours that Aliza had been kidnapped and that she had even tried to take her own life.

Aliza doesn’t just have a large fanbase on YouTube. Her influence stretches to TikTok as well.

Using the latter platform, she firmly stated that she would take revenge against the person behind the scandal, who was living in Qatar at the time.

Similar to the case of Gungun Gupta, some social media users didn’t shy away from blaming Aliza.

One reacted: “The guy is not at fault – why was she exposing her breasts in the first place?”

In November 2023, Aliza surprisingly got married to Dil Muhammad Kamhar.

A day after their wedding, the couple were arrested after a video of them wearing garlands with a gun in Aliza’s hands came to light.

However, the couple were released without charge when a licence for the weapon was provided to authorities.

Ayesha Akram

TikTok hosts many influential internet celebrities. One of them is the Pakistani Ayesha Akram.

Fans and followers celebrate Ayesha as a beacon of courage and empowerment.

This is due to her previous experience as a survivor of the Minar-e-Pakistan harassment incident.

The star was sexually assaulted by over 300 men.

In 2023, Ayesha fell prey to an unsettling episode that saw a private video of her leak online.

Many continue to question the clip’s authenticity, but it certainly raises concerns over virtual safety and the respect of one’s boundaries.

Horrifyingly, Ayesha endured an abhorrent proceeding when men tore her clothes while passing her around.

This was during the Minar-e-Pakistan incident.

One thing is undeniable: the terrible experience continues to raise awareness about the safety of women.

Aroob Jatoi

Aroob Jatoi is the wife of the renowned Pakistani YouTuber Ducky Bhai.

In April 2024, Ducky Bhai saw red when a nude deepfake of Aroob circulated online.

The star also offered PKR 1 million (£2,800) as a reward for information regarding the perpetrator.

In a video message to his followers, he said:

“My wife’s dignity has been compromised, and I must clarify that it has no basis in reality.”

Sharing a screenshot of the material, Ducky Bhai continued:

“If you observe closely, you’ll notice slight distortions in the background.”

“This pixelation is common in deepfake videos. Upon close inspection, the face of the actual girl becomes discernible.

“Furthermore, the robotic expressions throughout the video are characteristic of deepfake technology.”

Aroob, who was also present in the video, added: “Whatever has happened to me is done.

“But I don’t want anyone else to endure the misery I’ve experienced in the past 24 hours.

“No woman should ever face such adversity.”

Fellow YouTuber Sham Idrees came out in support of Ducky and Aroob shortly after the deepfake emerged.

Usama Bhalli

Aroob Jatoi was not the only internet celebrity to face leaked video scandals in April 2024.

The Pakistani Tiktoker Usama Bhalli reportedly fell prey to a leaked video too.

There were claims that the woman with Usama in the videos was his wife, while some alleged that it was his first wife.

In one video, Usama allegedly boasted about making love for over two-and-a-half hours.

Aliza Sehar shared a screenshot on X and questioned: “Who needs this video?”

Usama’s partner is also known as ‘Silent Girl’ on TikTok.

She confirmed that the video was authentic but said that they were over a year old and claimed someone leaked the video to drive a wedge between her and her husband.

Usama said:

“I can now understand why people commit suicide due to depression in this country.”

Leaked video scandals are one of the worst nightmares for anyone.

For people creating content, it can be a serious risk to both their reputation and mental health.

Genuine intimacy is about trust, respect and privacy.

It is appalling when that trust is betrayed and misused.

However, when things like this do happen, these internet celebrities display grace and bravery.

For that, regardless of their leaked video scandals, they deserve to be commended.
