In the media Chakraborty entered The Times of India 's Most Desirable Men of 2020 at 11th position. In 2024, Chakraborty and Alokananda Guha posted content which jokingly lead people to believe they got married. In 2025, he became brand ambassador of Texllo Mobile, Joarder Saree House, Akansha Herbal, Tomay Sajabo Jotone, Paul Gems, and Parboni restaurant. In July 2025, Chakraborty had had to take a long break from his ongoing daily television soaps owing to his spondylitis and thyroid issues. In 2025, he uploaded photos on social media with actress Ayanna Chatterjee, which went viral as people speculated they had gotten married.

Controversy 2026 Olypub beef mix-up On the evening of 30 January 2026, Chakraborty visited Olypub, a restaurant on Park Street, Kolkata, with friends Ananya Guha and Sukanta Kundu. 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.

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. Police reported that four complaints were lodged against Chakraborty within 72 hours, and a first information report (FIR) was registered against him. 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.

In June 2026, Chakraborty opened up about his struggle with mental health following the incident. He revealed that between January and March 2026, cyberbullying and a loss of friends had driven him to contemplate suicide. He cited the support of his family as helping him get through this difficult time.
