YouTuber Anurag Dobhal posts ‘last vlog’, alleges family harassment over inter-caste marriage

New Delhi: YouTuber and Bigg Boss 17 participant Anurag Dobhal, widely known online as UK07 Rider, has shared a video describing alleged harassment by family members following his inter-caste marriage.

In a two-hour-long video posted on social media, Dobhal said the clip would be his final vlog and stated that he was quitting YouTube. He also alleged that he had faced sustained mental distress and claimed he had attempted suicide.

Speaking in the video, Dobhal said, “Over the last few months, meri life itni drastically change hui hai ki maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki zindagi aise patak ke chhoregi (My life changed drastically, I never thought that life would throw me down like this and leave me shattered).”

The content creator recounted several personal challenges, including being diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 14. He said he had faced pressure from his family regarding his studies and later worked as a tutor while trying to build a career online.

Dobhal said he met his wife, Ritika, through social media after she messaged him as a fan for several years. According to him, the two later began dating and eventually decided to marry.

He alleged that his family opposed the marriage and refused to attend the wedding. He said he had to organise the ceremony himself after his parents declined to participate days before the event.

“Mere se haath judwayege, pair padhwaayege. Mere se sorry bulwaya gaya saare relatives ke saamne. Papa aur mumma ne iss level tak torture kiya ki bola ki naa hum khush rahenge naa tujhe khush rehne denge (I was made to fold my hands and beg, made to touch their feet. I was forced to apologise in front of all the relatives. Dad and Mum tortured me to the extent that they said, ‘We will neither stay happy ourselves nor let you stay happy).”

Dobhal said the conflict was linked to his inter-caste marriage and claimed that he and his wife were not allowed to enter the family home.

In the video, he also spoke about his mental health and said he had attempted suicide during the dispute.

“Mere maut ke zimmedar mummy, papa, Kalam (brother) and Shreya. I have nothing left to do anything. I am under a lot of depression. Mujhe samajh nahi aaraha kaise yeh feeling eliminate karoon. Iss video ke baad shayad main gayab hojaaunga. Main bus sona chahta hoon. 5 din se kuch khaaya nahi hai, dimaag ekdum khatam hogaya hai.”

He further alleged that his brother had taken control of some of his property and other belongings, claiming that he was threatened with exposure on social media.

Dobhal also shared a written message in Hindi addressing his wife and family members. In the note, he said, "After I am gone, Shreya, Mum and Dad may say many things or even lie, but I was not wrong. Ritika, many people influenced you and lied to you, but I always loved you and did everything for you. However, you trusted others, believed what they said, made wrong decisions and left me. I loved my child, and that was my only hope. I wish you had believed me.”

Dobhal married Ritika in May last year and the couple later announced that they were expecting their first child.
The allegations made in the video have not been independently verified.
