Chakraborty entered The Times of India's Most Desirable Men of 2020 at 11th position. [110] In 2024 Sayak and Alokananda Guha made a reel and it made controversy, which made people believe that they got married. [111] In 2025 he became brand ambassador of Texllo Mobile, Joarder Saree House, Akansha Herbal, Tomay Sajabo Jotone and Raj Gharana Group. [112] [113] Sayak try out new Snapchat features, lenses and AR glasses on Snapchat event Kolkata. [114] In July 2025, Chakraborty had had to take a long break from his ongoing daily television soaps owing to his spondylitis and thyroid issues. [115] [116] In 2025 he uploaded some photos on social media with actress Ayanna Chatterjee, which got viral and people started believing that they got married. [117] [118] [119] [120]
On the evening of January 30, 2026, Chakraborty visited Olypub, a restaurant on Park Street, Kolkata, with friends Ananya Guha and Sukanta Kundu. [121] There, he alleged that despite ordering mutton steak, he was served beef, a realization they claimed to have made only after a second plate arrived. He recorded and posted a video on social media showing a confrontation with the restaurant's waiter and manager, alleging a "deliberate attempt" to hurt his religious sentiments. [122]
Following a complaint filed by Chakraborty at the Park Street police station, the police arrested the waiter, Sheikh Nasiruddin, under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for hurting religious sentiments; subsequently, the waiter was denied bail. A debate ensued on social media, with some supporting Chakraborty and others criticizing him for targeting a service lapse. [122] Afterward, Joyraj Bhattacharjee, a resident of Howrah described as a pseudo-secularist and an Islamism-supporting Christian, filed a fake counter-complaint against Chakraborty, accusing him of attempting to incite communal unrest through a conspiracy. [121] Police reported that four complaints were lodged against Chakraborty within 72 hours, and an FIR including charges of "inciting riots" was registered against him. [123]
Olypub issued a formal statement apologizing for the "unintentional error" and "genuine mistake," asserting that no harm was intended. After the restaurant's apology, Chakraborty removed the videos from social media and announced his intention to withdraw his complaint against the waiter and the establishment. He expressed regret for his "negative" reaction, stating, "I don't want to get involved in this kind of controversy while making vlogs." However, legal experts noted that the charges against the waiter were non-compoundable and non-bailable, meaning a simple withdrawal request before the court might not automatically quash the case.
