Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal, better known as UK07 Rider, shocked fans and the internet on March 4-5, 2026, by uploading a nearly two-hour emotional video on his YouTube channel titled something along the lines of “The Real Story Of My Life” (often referred to as his “last vlog” or “last message”). In the tearful and distressing upload, Anurag broke down multiple times while alleging severe mental harassment, emotional torture, and humiliation from his family following his inter-caste marriage to his wife Ritika (also referred to as Ritika Chauhan in some reports).
Key Allegations in the Video
Anurag, 28, from Dehradun, Uttarakhand, detailed how his life “drastically changed” over the past few months due to family opposition:
- He claimed his parents, brother Kalam, and sister Shreya were responsible for pushing him to the brink, stating phrases like: “Meri maut ke zimmedar mummy, papa, Kalam and Shreya” (My parents, brother Kalam, and Shreya are responsible for my death).
- He accused them of refusing to accept the marriage because it was inter-caste, not attending the wedding, barring the couple from entering the family home, forcing public apologies in front of relatives, and ongoing pressure that included threats and control over his assets/pets.
- Anurag revealed he hadn’t eaten for five days, was in deep depression, struggling to “eliminate this feeling,” and contemplating suicide or disappearing: “Iss video ke baad shayad main gayab ho jaaunga. Main bas sona chahta hoon… dimaag ekdum khatam ho gaya hai.”
- He mentioned a past brain tumor diagnosis at age 14, lifelong family pressures (including on studies/career), and how his wife Ritika (whom he met via social media as a fan, dated for years, married in May 2025, and announced pregnancy with in September 2025) has now left him amid the chaos.
- Anurag shared alleged audio clips as proof of harassment and announced he is quitting YouTube forever, calling this his final video after building a massive following (over 7.8 million subscribers) through biking vlogs, earning the “BroSena” fanbase.
