‘I Can’t Do This Alone!’: Ritu Rathee’s Emotional Moment Goes Viral, Gaurav Taneja Reacts

Popular YouTuber Gaurav Taneja and his wife, pilot Ritu Rathee, have recently become the center of attention on social media. A video of Ritu seeking guidance from spiritual guru Premanand Govind Sharan has sparked rumors about their relationship. The video, which shows an emotional Ritu expressing concerns about balancing motherhood and her career, has raised speculation about the couple’s future.
Ritu Rathee's Emotional Plea
In the viral video, Ritu, with her face covered, can be heard asking the guru for advice. She tearfully says, “I have daughters, I can’t keep working forever. As a mother, I will have to raise my children. To give them time, I will have to quit my job.” This heartfelt moment resonated with many viewers, leading to widespread rumors of separation or even divorce between her and Gaurav.
While the exact date of the video remains unclear, it has certainly stirred public conversation about their relationship. The emotional nature of Ritu’s plea for guidance has touched the hearts of many, but it has also led to some speculating about trouble in paradise.
Gaurav Taneja’s Response
Gaurav Taneja, known for his strong social media presence, chose to address the situation through a lengthy Instagram post. In the post, he emphasized his silence on personal matters for the sake of his children and his wife. He wrote, “I will remain quiet for my kids and the mother of my child. Ready to live with all the negativity and hate for my entire life. Please don’t expect any public explanation.”
His post reflected frustration over the rush to judge, adding, “Men are made villains very fast. Social media is not a place to discuss family matters. I have nothing to say.” His message was a heartfelt plea for privacy, expressing his desire to protect his family from public scrutiny.
Ritu Rathee Breaks Her Silence
Shortly after Gaurav’s post, Ritu released a video of her own, addressing the ongoing rumors. She acknowledged that the woman in the viral video was indeed her, but firmly stated that it was nobody’s business to interfere in her personal life.
Ritu passionately defended her husband, saying, “A small thing happened between a husband and wife. He thought he was right, I thought I was right. He became stubborn, and so did I. But does that mean that you will tell me what kind of a man he was? I know that man inside out. I don’t need to hear from you whether he is genuine, whether he was loyal.”
The Strength of Their Bond
In her emotional video, Ritu credited her husband for empowering her to manage her life and their daughters. She said, “I can take care of my daughters. Not because I am a pilot, but because my husband empowered me. Which man equally empowers a woman?”
Ritu also spoke out against the judgmental nature of social media, comparing it to how society has evolved. “Earlier, when people lived in joint families, society blamed women for everything. Now, society has evolved, people have become independent. Now the man is blamed if a couple separates.”
Though neither Gaurav nor Ritu has confirmed or denied the separation rumors, they both have made it clear that their personal lives are not up for public debate. Married since 2015, the couple frequently shares glimpses of their life on social media. In May, Ritu posted several pictures from their trip to the USA and Canada, showing the strong bond they share.
While the couple remains under public scrutiny, their responses indicate a desire to keep their family matters private, highlighting the challenges of living in the spotlight while navigating personal difficulties.
