Bengal’s social-media scene was recently shaken when a private MMS video allegedly showing popular digital creators Sofik SK and Dustu Sonali went viral. Their life as beloved “internet stars” turned into a public crisis almost overnight. The couple now faces not just moral judgment but has also triggered a larger debate on privacy, trust, and the dangers of instant fame.
Who is Sofik SK?
Sofik, aged between 25–27, is known for his desi humour and energetic acting style. He leads Palai Gram TV and has 5.2 lakh+ Instagram followers. His hit video “Sofiker Chalaki” alone crossed 232 million views, making him one of Bengal’s fastest-growing creators.
Who is Dustu Sonali? Viral Videos 19 Minutes Video Girl
Dustu Sonali, often appearing alongside Sofik, had also gained a large fanbase for fashion, dance, and couple-style reels. Fans loved their chemistry, and many assumed they were a real-life couple. Together, they seemed to embody modern youth dreams — instant fame, creative expression, and a comfortable digital income.
Her expressions, dance reels, and on-screen pairing with Sofik made her a star in Bengal’s short-video culture.
How their Private Video Leaked
Both creators later released statements explaining the incident. They said the video was more than a year old and was recorded by accident. According to Sofik, the footage leaked when a close friend — who knew his phone password — copied the clip and later used it for blackmail.
When the friend no longer had access to them, the video was allegedly uploaded online “out of anger.”
Sonal said she filed a cybercrime FIR and warned, “If he goes further, I will file a case against his full family.”
Viral MMS to Suicide Claims
Shortly after the clip spread on X and Telegram, rumours appeared claiming the pair had died by suicide. Several fact-checkers dismissed these claims, stating no official report backed them.
However, Sonali admitted she struggled emotionally, saying online harassment pushed her towards dark thoughts, “I was mentally broken.”
The incident split online opinion. Trolls flooded the creators with abusive comments, while others demanded more clips. But another section defended them, urging people to respect privacy and refrain from circulating intimate content.
Sofik said the betrayal shattered him, “He was my closest friend.”
Despite the crisis, both creators say they will continue working. Sofik posted a video saying, “I have changed,” and Sonali wrote, “I will fight, I won’t break.”
The incident highlights a larger issue — how quickly online fame can turn into digital violence, and how privacy failures can destroy lives in minutes.
