Mr. Gulua’s Life Threat Claims Met with Wife Barsha’s Domestic Violence Allegations

Bhubaneswar: Popular Odia comedian Ashish Kumar Das, widely known as Mr Gulua, finds himself at the centre of a storm after releasing a video alleging threats to his life and extortion demands ranging from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore.

He further accused police of colluding with the alleged blackmailer, claiming imminent danger forced him to flee Bhubaneswar.

In a dramatic twist, his wife, Barsha, stepped forward with explosive counterclaims. She accused Gulua and his family of subjecting her to physical and mental abuse for over a year, including beatings and eviction from their home.

Barsha also alleged that Gulua maintains multiple extramarital relationships across Odisha and refuses to acknowledge her as his rightful wife. She claims to possess evidence of his affairs.

Barsha said the controversy erupted after she demanded repayment of money she had lent him, suggesting Gulua orchestrated the extortion drama to divert attention.

The feud has since gone viral on social media, sparking heated debates among fans and netizens.

Police have launched an investigation into the matter. With over 1.4 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, concerns are mounting that the scandal could derail Gulua’s rising career as a comedian and content creator.

The public now awaits the outcome of the probe to uncover the truth behind this high‑profile family dispute.
