Dated 2013, the post controversially claimed that “MARRIAGE is just a fancy word for adopting an over-grown male child who can't be handled by his parents anymore,” implying that marriage is merely a euphemism for a woman taking responsibility for a man-child no longer managed by his mother.

The couple, who married in December 2020 in Gurgaon, had quickly become social media darlings. However, by 2023, their online interactions grew scarce and cryptic, sparking rumors about their deteriorating relationship. The speculations intensified when Chahal deleted all couple photos from social platforms and both unfollowed each other on Instagram.
