They fell in love, got married, and rose to fame by making people laugh through social media. But, the same couple is facing public ridicule these days as their personal life unravels in full public view. It is the much-discussed family dispute involving popular comedian couple Ashish Das aka Mr Gulua and Barsha.
The controversy erupted after Barsha levelled serious allegations against her husband. Appearing on OTV on Wednesday, Mr Gulua made a dramatic admission, acknowledging that he was involved in an extramarital relationship. The revelation has shocked fans and sparked a broader debate on why celebrity relationships often fail and why domestic disputes are increasingly played out on social media rather than resolved privately or through legal channels.
Once admired for their chemistry both on and off screen, Mr Gulua and Barsha’s decade-long love story has come to a bitter end. Since yesterday, the couple has been at the centre of a heated controversy, exchanging serious allegations against each other in the public domain.
Barsha has accused Mr Gulua of infidelity, claiming that his relationship with other women destroyed their married life. She alleged that she faced harassment and held Mr Gulua directly responsible for the collapse of their relationship. Breaking down on OTV, Barsha narrated her ordeal, which she said had been brewing for a long time.
Gulua, however, countered her claims with accusations of his own. While admitting on television that he was involved in another relationship, he denied responsibility for all the allegations levelled against him.
Following the fallout, the couple has been living separately for a considerable period, though they are not yet legally divorced. Barsha has reportedly demanded Rs 50 lakh. This demand has further intensified the dispute.
Reacting to Barsha’s allegations, Mr Gulua’s father, Jatindra Mohan Das, strongly denied the claims and alleged that a conspiracy was being plotted to falsely implicate his son. He asserted that Gulua has no relationship with any other woman, contradicting his son’s own admission.
