Anurag Dobhal Alleges Family Torture Over Inter-Caste Marriage

Mumbai – Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal, better known as UK07 Rider, has sparked widespread concern after uploading a nearly two-hour emotional video on his YouTube channel in which he accuses his parents and brother of severe mental harassment and torture, primarily linked to his inter-caste marriage. In the clip, which he described as his “last video,” Dobhal breaks down while detailing years of alleged emotional distress, his ongoing depression, and the recent separation from his wife Ritika.

The video, shared in early March 2026, captures Dobhal in visible distress as he recounts personal struggles dating back to childhood. He revealed being diagnosed with a brain tumour at a young age—earlier accounts from his Bigg Boss stint mention diagnosis at age 6 and medication until 14—followed by intense family pressure around studies and personal choices. Despite claiming to have prioritised his parents' needs throughout his life, Dobhal alleged that his decision to marry Ritika, from a different caste (reportedly Rajput and Brahmin backgrounds), led to outright rejection.

According to Dobhal, his parents refused to attend the wedding just six days before the ceremony, forcing him to handle arrangements alone. He described being humiliated, made to apologise publicly in front of relatives, fold his hands, and touch feet in submission. “Papa aur Mumma ne iss level tak torture kiya ki bola ki naa hum khush rahenge naa tujhe khush rehne denge,” he said, translating to his parents declaring they would neither find happiness themselves nor allow him to be happy.

Dobhal further claimed the conflict escalated to the point where his family barred him and Ritika from entering the family home due to the inter-caste union. He accused his parents, brother Kalam, and another individual named Shreya of being responsible for his current state, warning, “Mere maut ke zimmedar honge Mummy, Papa, Kalam, and Shreya.” He spoke of deep depression lasting eight months, admitting he had not eaten for five days, felt mentally exhausted, and had attempted suicide amid the turmoil.

Addressing Ritika directly in the video, Dobhal expressed heartbreak over their separation, saying she had been influenced by others and made decisions based on misinformation. “I always loved you and did everything for you... I loved my child, and that was my only hope,” he added, referring to the couple’s previously announced pregnancy. He urged her to stand by him and speak the truth after he is gone.

The revelations have left fans and followers shocked, with social media flooded with messages of concern, calls for mental health support, and pleas for intervention. Dobhal, who rose to fame through motorcycle vlogs and gained wider recognition on Bigg Boss 17, had been absent from consistent content creation for months prior, which he now attributes to these personal crises.

No response has been received from his family members as of March 5, 2026, and the situation remains unverified beyond Dobhal’s account in the video. Mental health experts stress that such public disclosures often signal a cry for help, urging those close to the individual to offer immediate support.

Dobhal’s candid sharing highlights the complex intersections of fame, family expectations, caste dynamics, and mental well-being in contemporary India. As the video continues to circulate, it has prompted broader discussions on inter-caste relationships, familial pressures, and the importance of addressing depression openly. For now, fans await any further updates while hoping for the YouTuber’s well-being and resolution.
