Renowned Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, celebrated for his vibrant personality and unique cooking style that blends traditional Indian flavors with a contemporary twist, has unfortunately fallen victim to a scam, resulting in his YouTube channel being hacked.
Harpal shared the troubling news with his fans on Instagram, where he urged YouTube India to address the issue and help restore his account. His YouTube channel, which boasts 1.02 million subscribers, was renamed “Tesla” after the hack. Harpal expressed his frustration, writing, “@youtubeindia, please help me recover the channel @need connect with contact person, to move ahead, the form that is shared by @youtubeindia is not helping to move ahead.”
Earlier this year, other prominent figures like rapper MC Stan, comedian Bharti Singh, and influencer Sarah Sarosh had their accounts hacked. Last year, YouTuber Tanmay Bhat, social media personality Abdu Rozik, and stand-up comedian Aishwarya Mohanraj also faced similar hacking incidents. Thankfully, they were able to retrieve their accounts, and fans are hopeful that Chef Harpal will soon recover his as well.
