Actor and producer Jackky Bhagnani has found himself at the center of social media attention once again. Only a short while after his controversial comments regarding his marriage sparked a wave of online criticism, the filmmaker is facing fresh scrutiny. This time, an alleged dating application profile of his has emerged online, leaving social media users divided over its authenticity. The discussion gained momentum after screenshots of the profile were shared on the social media platform Reddit.
Alleged Profile Discovered on Celebrity Dating App Raya
According to the posts circulating on Reddit, Bhagnani's alleged profile is on Raya, a private, membership-based dating and networking application widely known for its elite clientele, including global celebrities and high-profile individuals. However, as soon as the screenshots began circulating, observant social media users pointed out a glaring error on the profile page. Right below Bhagnani's name, his occupation is listed as "actor and producer." Interestingly, the word "producer" on this alleged profile has been misspelled.
A Fake Account or Genuine Mistake?
The misspelling of his own professional title has led many internet users to question the authenticity of the profile. Several commenters suggested that an established industry professional like Jackky Bhagnani would unlikely make such a basic spelling mistake on a personal profile. Consequently, many believe that this is a fake account created by an impersonator using the actor's identity and photographs. The authenticity of this viral dating profile remains unverified and has not been officially confirmed.
The Previous 'Situationship' Controversy
This recent online stir follows a previous controversy from April of this year, when Bhagnani made headlines for his unusual description of his married life during an interview. Speaking about his relationship with his wife, actress Rakul Preet Singh, he had mentioned that even though they are married, they are in a way still in a "situationship." He had elaborated that they are completely committed to one another, which is why they got married, but emphasized that the best part of their equation is his ability to talk to her openly about anything without hesitation.
Rakul Preet Singh's Defense of Her Husband
The use of the word "situationship" to describe a marriage did not sit well with netizens, leading to heavy trolling directed at Bhagnani at the time. As the online backlash intensified, his wife, Rakul Preet Singh, stepped in to defend him. She expressed her frustration with the media and paparazzi, arguing that pulling a single line out of a comprehensive one-hour interview to create sensational headlines is highly insensitive and unfair. She urged the public to look at the broader context of his statement rather than focusing on a single word.
