In today’s world of social media, content creators often face a mix of love and criticism. However, for some, the level of hate and negative attention can reach unbearable heights. The “Kulhad Pizza” couple, who became internet sensations, are no strangers to this.
Despite the fame, they have had to face massive online trolling and even threats in real life. In a candid interview on The Namit Show, they opened up about their experiences, how they managed the intense negativity, and what kept them going during those tough times.
Social Media Fame and the Dark Side of Popularity
The couple became popular through their unique content, which resonated with a wide audience. However, fame has its downside. As their popularity grew, so did the negativity. From hateful comments on their social media posts to real-life threats, the couple had to navigate through a challenging period.
The couple shared that negative comments started pouring in with almost every post they made. While many social media users would take down negative comments or avoid addressing them, the couple decided to handle the situation differently. They chose to keep their comment sections open despite the constant negativity. This choice was met with surprise by their followers, who often asked them to turn off the comments to stop the hate.
“We realized that the negative comments are just 5% of our entire life. We thought, why should we hide this 5% from people? We are dealing with far worse things in our lives right now,” they said.
Dealing with Real-Life Threats
What many don’t see is the couple’s life outside social media. They revealed that their life off-camera has been much more difficult than people could imagine. “The comment section is just a small part of what we’re dealing with right now. The remaining 95% is something people don’t even know about,” the couple explained.
They spoke about being followed by strangers, their car being vandalized, and even threats to their lives. One particularly terrifying incident involved a group of men who blocked their car on the highway and started threatening them. The men accused the couple of damaging their vehicle, despite the couple having no idea what had happened. The attackers even grabbed the husband’s collar through the window, threatening violence. The couple had to drive away quickly to avoid further escalation.
“These kinds of things are happening a lot. We’re always scared when we step out. Even in our car, we need to keep the curtains up to avoid being recognized by strangers,” they said.
The Pressure of Public Perception
Along with real-life threats, the couple also has to deal with public perception. Many accuse them of staging incidents or doing things for publicity. After their car was damaged recently, they shared the news on social media, only to be met with accusations that they were pulling a “PR stunt.”
“It really hurts when people say things like this. Our life has become hell, and people are accusing us of doing all this for attention,” they said.
Despite these accusations, the couple remains determined to continue living their lives as authentically as possible. They shared that they have turned down many interview offers, even when they were offered payment, because they don’t want to be seen as using their struggles for fame.
“We’ve received thousands of offers for paid interviews, but we never accepted any. We don’t want people to think we’re doing this for money or publicity. We just want to move on from this,” they explained.
The Impact of Online Hate
Online hate can have a significant impact on mental health. The couple admitted that dealing with the constant stream of negative comments took a toll on them, especially in the beginning. However, they eventually learned to manage it. “When we first started getting hate comments, we couldn’t stop thinking about it. It affected our sleep, our peace of mind. But then we realized that these people don’t really know us. They’re judging us based on a small part of our lives,” they shared.
They also acknowledged that negativity affects everyone, not just public figures. “Even if a regular person receives one negative comment, it can stay in their mind for days. They’ll keep thinking, why did this person say this? What did I do wrong? But in reality, it’s not about you. It’s about them.”
Finding Strength in the Midst of Hate
The couple emphasized the importance of staying strong in the face of hate. They have found ways to protect their mental health and prioritize their well-being. One way they cope is by focusing on the positive comments and the support they receive from their fans. They also make it a point to avoid engaging with trolls and hateful comments.
“We’ve learned that no matter what we do, people will find a reason to criticize. If we go to the Gurudwara, people say we’re showing off. If we don’t, they ask why we’re not going. There’s no winning,” they said.
Despite the challenges, the couple remains hopeful. They believe that staying true to themselves and focusing on the good things in their lives will eventually pay off. “We’ve come to terms with the fact that we can’t please everyone. All we can do is be ourselves and hope that people will see that.”
End of the Story
The Kulhad Pizza couple’s story is a reminder that fame comes with its own set of challenges. While social media offers a platform for success, it also opens the door to criticism and hate. However, by staying true to themselves and focusing on the bigger picture, the couple has managed to rise above the negativity. Their story is a testament to the resilience it takes to survive in the public eye, especially in an age where online hate can easily spill over into real life.
