A screenshot started circulating on social media that supposedly showed Punjabi singer Karan Aujla posting the words "I am bisexual" from his X (Twitter) account.
The image went viral quickly and sparked a big discussion about his sexuality.
What started Karan Aujla's bisexual tweet controversy?
However, fans soon noticed that no such post appeared on his official X timeline. Many people assumed he might have deleted it, which only added more confusion and rumours online.
Take a look below:
Why do many believe the screenshot is fake?
Soon after the screenshot spread, several fans and fact-check pages pointed out clear mistakes in it. The username/handle shown in the image did not match Karan Aujla's real verified handle @GeetanDiMachine. There were spelling errors and formatting issues in the supposed tweet.
These details made people doubt that the screenshot came from his real account and suggested it was taken from a fake or edited profile.
How has Karan Aujla's team responded?
Karan Aujla's team has now officially responded. In a statement quoted by Hindustan Times and other outlets, they clearly said that the viral screenshot is fake and has no connection to the singer. They explained that the account visible in the image is not his and that the post being shared is a manipulated or impersonator tweet. Fact-check reports have also backed this, saying there is no record of such a post from his real account.
Who is Karan Aujla?
Karan Aujla is a popular Punjabi singer-songwriter and rapper with a massive fan following in India and abroad. He first made his name as a lyricist and then as a singer, with hits like "Chitta Kurta," "Don't Look," "Mexico," "Players," and "Softly."
He is currently travelling across the country with his "P-Pop Culture India Tour", performing in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chandigarh, Indore, Bengaluru and more. The tour began at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on 28 February 2026, with later shows in Kolkata, Mumbai and other cities.
When did Karan Aujla's tour face issues?
His March show in Mumbai drew criticism from fans due to crowding and management problems. Because of the backlash, the team scheduled a new Mumbai show for 12 April 2026 so that fans could enjoy the concert in a better-organised setting. Even amid the tweet controversy, Karan Aujla has continued to focus on his live performances and music, while his team has urged fans not to fall for fake screenshots and misleading posts.
