Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur, popularly known as the Kulhad Pizza Couple, have spoken publicly about the private-video controversy that pushed them away from the spotlight. In a recent appearance on the podcast Talks With Namit, the couple addressed allegations surrounding the circulation of a private video and strongly rejected claims that the incident was staged for publicity.
The Punjab-based couple became widely known on social media after videos of their kulhad pizza business attracted significant attention in 2022. Their growing popularity later expanded into a restaurant business, but a private-video controversy reportedly brought intense scrutiny and online backlash.

However, their recent podcast appearance gave them an opportunity to respond directly to one of the most persistent claims surrounding the incident.
Couple Denies Publicity-Stunt Allegations
One of the allegations addressed during the podcast was that the controversy had been deliberately created as a publicity strategy for their restaurant.
Gurpreet Kaur firmly rejected that suggestion.
“People say we did this for fame. We did fame earlier as well,” Kaur said during the conversation.
She explained that the couple had built their business gradually, starting with a cart before establishing their restaurant.

Add Hunterfly on GoogleKaur also described the financial impact of the controversy, saying that the restaurant’s sales had fallen dramatically following the incident.
“We started with a cart and built a restaurant with so much hard work. Today, sales at our restaurant have dropped to 10% of what we used to get earlier,” she said.
Questioning why anyone would deliberately cause such damage to their own business, she added, “Which person will do this to themselves?”

Add Hunterfly on GoogleArora said that Gurpreet struggled deeply following the incident and withdrew from everyday life for a period.
According to his account, she stayed inside her room and stopped eating for a time. He said the family had to encourage her to eat, describing the period as extremely difficult for both of them.
“We were only praying for the bad time to pass,” Arora said.
The comments highlight that viral privacy controversies can have consequences far beyond social-media attention, particularly when private material is circulated without consent.
From Viral Food Videos to Restaurant Owners
Before the controversy, Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur had become familiar faces on social media through videos featuring their kulhad pizza business.
Their food-related content attracted a large online audience, turning the couple into a recognizable social-media brand. Their success also helped them move from a small food cart to a restaurant business.
That rise in popularity made the later controversy particularly difficult, as the couple found themselves under intense public scrutiny.
A Return to the Public Eye
The appearance on Talks With Namit marked an important public return for the couple after a period away from the limelight.
Rather than focusing solely on their online fame, the conversation allowed Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur to discuss the impact the controversy had on their business and personal lives.
Their comments also reinforce their longstanding position that the private material should not be circulated further.
Why the Kulhad Pizza Couple Story Matters
The controversy surrounding the couple is also part of a broader problem involving the unauthorized circulation of private content online. Sharing, reposting or seeking out alleged intimate material can further violate the privacy of the people involved and can expose users to scams, malicious websites and other online risks.
