Gurpreet Ghuggi Slams 'Baseless' ₹5 Crore Settlement Rumors With Luv Gill
Veteran Punjabi actor-comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi has strongly rebutted explosive social media rumors alleging a secret affair and a ₹5 crore financial settlement to conceal a pregnancy involving fellow actress and current Bigg Boss 20 contestant Luv Gill. Breaking his silence in an interview with PTC, an incensed Ghuggi condemned the widespread claims as a calculated smear campaign designed to destroy his personal reputation and derail a newcomer's rising career. The controversy erupted after a Canada-based digital creator alleged that the two actors were involved in a relationship during the filming of the project "Furlough," culminating in a massive hush-money payout—a narrative that gained renewed traction after contestants inside the Salman Khan-hosted reality television show subtly discussed the rumors on air.

Addressing the claims directly, Ghuggi voiced serious concern over the psychological impact such malicious reports inflict on emerging artists, emphasizing that Luv Gill is at the very beginning of her professional journey and has an impressionable family navigating the fallout. Clarifying that his previous inquiries regarding her wellbeing stemmed purely from knowing she was navigating a sensitive and emotionally distressing period, the seasoned actor stated that while he possesses the mental resilience to withstand public attacks without contemplating drastic measures, such reckless harassment can push vulnerable individuals to the brink. Questioning the motives of those weaponizing unsubstantiated claims for digital views and sensationalism, Ghuggi warned that society must confront what is achieved when unverified gossip places a young person’s mental health and safety in jeopardy.

Dismissing the allegations as completely unfounded fabrications devoid of any evidentiary backing, Ghuggi confirmed that he will not let the perpetrators go unpunished and is initiating comprehensive legal proceedings. The actor revealed that formal complaints are being drafted for law enforcement authorities to trace the origin of the digital campaign, while legal notices will be served to drag the responsible creators and channels into court for criminal defamation. With the controversy continuing to create waves across Punjabi cinema and television circles, Ghuggi thanked his well-wishers and family for maintaining patience throughout the ordeal, maintaining that the police and judicial system will hold those running malicious agendas accountable.
