Every year some trend or the other remains in the headlines in the world of social media, but 2026 has started with a trend that has sparked debate on the internet. A large number of reels and posts are being shared on Instagram by writing ‘Mard Exposed’. In these videos, it is being claimed that the alleged truth of many men, from cricketer, actor, singer, TV star, influencer, reality show contestant to common husband, has been revealed.
Screenshots, chats and audio clips with these claims are going viral, in which mostly men are seen cheating on their girlfriends and wives. Let us know how this trend started.
This trend gained momentum when allegations of cheating and lies in personal relationships surfaced on social media against some famous personalities. Content creators started making videos linking these cases with the tag ‘Mard Exposed’, which went viral within no time. People are not only watching these videos, but are also openly expressing their opinions in the comment section.
In this episode, the name of YouTuber and influencer Abhishek Malhan (Fukra Insaan) also surfaced on social media. An alleged chat went viral, in which he was accused of talking inappropriately to a minor girl. In this case too, social media seemed divided into two parts, some people are accepting the allegations as true, while some are calling it a conspiracy.
The news of separation of TV industry’s famous couple Jai Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij after almost 14 years of marriage also further intensified this trend. Claims are being made on social media that Jai’s name is being linked to a young girl, although no clear statement has come out from either side on this.
Recently, singer-rapper MS Gori made serious allegations against Punjabi singer Karan Aujla. She claims that Karan had hidden the news of his marriage from her. As soon as this matter came to light, a round of discussions started on social media and it also started being linked to the ‘Mard Exposed’ trend.
Cricketer Abhishek Sharma’s name is also included in this viral men exposed trend. A chat to him is also going viral, in which he is asking to meet the girl.
According to experts, 2026 is being called the year of ‘Mard Exposed’ trend because in this era people have started openly demanding transparency and accountability in personal relationships. Social media is no longer just a platform for entertainment, but has also become a big platform for allegations, revelations and debate. However, the question remains that it has become more important now than ever to understand how much truth is there in the viral claims and how much is rumour.
