A woman from India has apparently complained to the authorities about her husband, saying that his failure to assist her with home tasks caused her to lose Instagram followers. This is a strange but illuminating example of the digital world.
The “Trigger”? Two Followers Were Dropped
The woman, who went as Nisha, said she lost two followers on Instagram because she was too busy with household chores to make Instagram reels. She allegedly called her husband “unsupportive” and asserted that his inaction had a direct impact on her social media development.
“I could’ve made content if I had even 15 minutes a day,” Nisha allegedly told officers.
Digital Aspirations vs. Household Tasks
Although many have found the complaint humorous, it also draws attention to a more serious conflict: the conflict between individual goals in the digital economy and conventional gender norms at home. Despite being unique, Nisha’s situation is representative of a growing trend among artists who balance their content careers with their family’s needs.
Police Response
Local authorities were reportedly perplexed but agreed to counsel both parties. No formal case was registered, but the incident has gone viral — ironically giving Nisha more social media attention than ever.
The Bigger Picture
As more people turn to platforms like Instagram for identity, income, and influence, incidents like these may become less surprising — and more revealing about how digital life increasingly shapes real-world relationships.
