Kolkata, November 2025 – In less than 72 hours, a single 19-minute private video turned a quiet Bengali love story into national gossip, destroyed one couple’s peace, and accidentally made another influencer famous for all the wrong (and then right) reasons.
This is the full story of the Sofik SK–Dustu Sonali MMS scandal and the hilarious “wrong woman” twist that followed.
The Couple at the Center
Sofik SK (real name unknown to most) was the boy-next-door of rural Bengali Instagram. With his signature gamchha, carefree dance moves, and Palli Gram TV skits, he had built a loyal 400K+ following. His girlfriend, Dustu Sonali, a softer-spoken creator from the same circuit, kept their relationship low-key for over a year.
On November 20, everything collapsed.
A 19-minute explicit video, allegedly recorded more than a year ago, began circulating on WhatsApp forwards and shady Telegram channels. Within hours, it was everywhere. The clip showed a couple in unmistakably intimate moments – and the faces were clearly Sofik and Sonali.
Dustu Sonali Breaks Down Live
Sonali went live on Instagram the same night, tears streaming down her face. In a video that has now crossed 20 million views, she said:
“We trusted someone. That person stole our private video and leaked it out of jealousy. A boy named Rubel, who Sofik considered a friend, has been blackmailing us for months. I haven’t slept, haven’t eaten. I just want to end everything.”
She begged viewers to stop sharing the clip and pleaded with trolls who were flooding her DMs with abuse and threats.
Sofik’s Apology and the Follower Paradox
The next day, Sofik posted his own video, hands folded, voice cracking:
“Yes, the video is real. It is old – from a time when I was immature. I don’t even have that video anymore. Someone kept it to destroy me the moment I started doing well. I am sorry to my family, my audience, and especially to Sonali.”
Ironically, while moral policing raged in the comments, his Instagram jumped from 400K to over 650K in a week. Tragedy had become the fastest growth hack.
Enter Sweet Zannat – The Accidental Viral Queen
As the video spread, thousands of people started tagging a completely unrelated influencer, Sweet Zannat (@sweet_zannat_12374), claiming SHE was the girl in the 19-minute clip because of a vague facial resemblance.
Zannat, a bubbly creator known for lip-syncs and comedy reels, woke up to her inbox exploding with sleazy messages and accusations.
Instead of crying or staying silent, she dropped what is now one of the funniest clarification videos of 2025.
Sitting in a red kurta, she held up side-by-side photos and delivered a masterclass in savage humor:
“Bhai, pehle mujhe achhe se dekho. Ab isko dekho (points to MMS screenshot). Kya lagti hu main? Bol do na comment mein – nahi na? Yeh ladki pura English bol rahi hai, maine toh 12th bhi theek se pass nahi kiya! Are waah, free mein viral kar rahe ho mujhe? Chalo badhiya hai, follower bhi aa raha hai. Thank you!”
The 47-second clip currently sits at 18 million views and counting. Brands are sliding into her DMs. She turned a potential career-ender into the biggest glow-up of the year.
The Bigger Picture
While Zannat laughed it off, the real victims are still reeling. Sonali has gone offline completely. Reports say she is under family supervision after repeated suicidal threats. Sofik continues posting village dance reels, but every comment section is a war zone.
Cybercrime cells in West Bengal have registered cases under IT Act sections for voyeurism and blackmail, but recovering and removing a video that has been downloaded millions of times is nearly impossible.
What This Tells Us
- Private moments are never truly private once they leave your phone.
- One jealous “friend” with an old backup can ruin lives.
- The internet will misidentify innocent people in seconds – and reward the funniest response.
- In 2025, your worst day can still make you famous, whether you want it or not.
As Bengal debates morality versus privacy, one thing is clear: the 19-minute video didn’t just go viral – it rewrote three creators’ destinies in ways none of them could have predicted.
