Utsav Chakraborty’s crusade against Mahima Kukreja continues on Twitter. On Thursday, the disgraced comedian accused Tanmay Bhat of AIB of lying when he said that he had confronted Utsav. Utsav said that he was under immense pressure from Kukreja as they were dating and in order to keep AIB floating, Tanmay threw him under the bus.
Plus, for all his faults and my personal problems with him, he still had to think of the 40+ employees who would be left without a job if he didn’t say what he did. I’m assuming by sacrificing me, he was hoping to ensure the livelihoods of many others.

Utsav further claimed that he wasn’t ever confronted by Tanmay or anyone else in AIB. He also said that everyone in AIB was aware of the particular incident. Intriguingly enough, Utsav says that AIB knew it was a ‘misunderstanding’. It was because ” they knew who I was and how socially clumsy I could be sometimes.”
The truth is: Tanmay never confronted me about Mahima. And he wasn’t the only one with the information – everyone in AIB was. Because I had told them. And they knew it was a huge misunderstanding. Because they knew who I was and how socially clumsy I could be sometimes.

However, Utsav’s defence looks extremely problematic as it’s unclear how does one end up sending an unsolicited d*ck pic to someone and then claiming that it happened because he could be ‘socially clumsy’ sometimes. Furthermore, it appears rather inexplicable that someone would end up sending extremely inappropriate pictures just because he is ‘socially clumsy’.
This defence of his does not come across as very plausible. Furthermore, it also paints the AIB in extremely poor light as they did not confront Utsav even when they were aware of what he had done. Tanmay Bhat, too, comes across as vile since it appears he lied about confronting Utsav about the unsolicited d*ck pic.
However, in the entire saga, Mahima Kukreja doesn’t seem innocent either with audiotapes and conversations emerging about her being actively involved with Utsav.
The whole saga began when an audio clip surfaced on the internet that claimed to be a telephonic conversation between Utsav Chakraborty and Mahima Kukreja. In the audio-clip, lawyer-sister of Kukreja is allegedly heard threatening Utsav with legal action should he release screenshots that may prove his innocence.
Then, a second part of the alleged conversation between Utsav Chakraborty and Mahima Kukreja was released where Utsav is allegedly heard telling Mahima that she has destroyed his life and told her that he was close to killing himself. Mahima can be heard saying that should he pursue legal action, then she will get into it legally as well and in the process, he will end up ‘derailing the movement’.
Since then, Utsav Chakraborty has been posting screenshots on his Twitter timeline that he claims prove his innocence. Then, Mahima came out all guns firing and said that Utsav was maligning her. She called Utsav’s tweets and the audio clip a ‘carefully planned and orchestrated PR-led campaign’ to malign her and labelled them a ‘hateful campaign’.
