A disagreement over Instagram use escalated into a full-blown police matter in Uttar Pradesh after a woman accused her husband of overburdening her with household chores, leaving her with no time to focus on creating content for social media.
As reported by News18, the unusual dispute involves Nisha and her husband Vijendra. They live in Noida. Trouble began when Vijendra suggested that Nisha should spend less time on Instagram and more on domestic chores. The advice didn’t go down well, sparking growing tension between the two.
Initially, Nisha did cut down on her time online, but things took a turn when she noticed her follower count drop by two. Upset by the decline, she packed her bags and left for her parents’ home in Pilkhuwa, Hapur district.
There, she approached the Women’s Police Station in Hapur and filed a complaint against Vijendra. Speaking to the police, she reportedly said, “My followers declined as I was kept busy washing utensils and cleaning the house by my husband. I didn’t get time to make Reels,” according to Deccan Herald. Nisha also told officers that she was in the habit of uploading two Reels a day.

Not wanting to stay silent, Vijendra responded by filing his own complaint, alleging that his wife’s obsession with Instagram meant she was ignoring work at home.
Police officers stepped in to mediate, conducting multiple counselling sessions to ease the conflict. While things have reportedly calmed down, the couple is still living apart.
To make matters worse, News18 reports that Vijendra lost his job amid the ongoing personal turmoil. He’s now said to be actively searching for work and attending job interviews around the city.
