‘I Hate Him, But…’: Actor Parul Gulati Defends Karan Aujla Amid Cheating Allegations

Actor Parul Gulati has weighed in on the ongoing cheating controversy involving Punjabi singer Karan Aujla, offering an unexpectedly strong defence of the artist despite admitting to personal disappointment with him in the past. Gulati’s remarks, shared through an Instagram video and subsequent posts, have added a fresh dimension to the debate that has been unfolding online.

The controversy erupted after US-based artist Ms Gori accused Aujla of infidelity, claims that quickly gained traction across social media platforms. As speculation intensified, Parul Gulati addressed the matter directly, calling the allegations “baseless” and questioning the credibility and intent behind the accusations.

In her video message, Gulati spoke bluntly, addressing the accuser by name and expressing disbelief over the narrative being presented. She questioned how the accuser could claim ignorance of Aujla’s marital status in an era where information is easily accessible, asserting that the controversy appeared to be driven more by the pursuit of online attention than by facts.

What surprised many viewers was Gulati’s candid admission that she does not share a cordial personal equation with Aujla. She openly stated that she was upset after the singer unfollowed her on social media following a brief interaction. “Whatever happened with me was wrong, and I still hate him for unfollowing me,” she said, before clarifying that her personal grievance had no bearing on her assessment of the cheating allegations.

Despite her disappointment, Gulati described Aujla as “the greenest flag,” a phrase widely used on social media to describe emotionally responsible behaviour in relationships. She emphasised that, in her view, Aujla’s actions reflected a man deeply committed to ensuring his wife’s comfort and security.

Gulati also shared screenshots of past Instagram exchanges with the singer, in which Aujla complimented her haircare brand and engaged politely. She revealed that after following him post-meeting, she later noticed that he had unfollowed her — something she now interprets as a gesture intended to maintain boundaries and prioritise his marriage.

In a strongly worded Instagram caption, Gulati doubled down on her support, stating that if her own partner took similar steps to reassure her, she would feel proud. She publicly praised Palak Kaur, referring to her as a “diamond” and asserting that Aujla’s actions demonstrated respect rather than wrongdoing.

The cheating rumours were further defused after Palak Kaur posted a photograph with Aujla on social media, showing the couple together in a calm, affectionate moment. The understated post was widely interpreted as a quiet but firm dismissal of the allegations circulating online.

Parul Gulati’s intervention has polarised opinions, with some applauding her honesty and others questioning her blunt tone. However, her comments have undeniably shifted the conversation, reframing the controversy from one of scandal to one of boundaries, perception and the weaponisation of social media narratives.

As the discussion continues, Gulati’s “I hate him, but…” stance stands out as one of the most candid celebrity reactions to the row — blending personal honesty with public support in a way rarely seen during such controversies.
