The well-known YouTube duo, Gaurav Taneja and Ritu Rathee, popularly adored for their family vlogs, are currently navigating through turbulent times in their marriage. Having been married for eight years and blessed with two daughters, Rashi and Pihu, their relationship has recently come under the spotlight due to rumors of their separation. This speculation gained momentum when Ritu Rathee was seen seeking advice from spiritual guru Premanand Govind Sharan regarding infidelity and custody issues.
Both Taneja and Rathee have publicly acknowledged the difficulties in their marriage, requesting privacy on their respective social media platforms. Amidst the swirling rumors, a Reddit user came forward with claims of providing insight into the couple’s marital woes, shedding light on a series of incidents that allegedly strained their relationship. According to this anonymous source, Gaurav Taneja’s actions, which included texting and calling ex-partners and other women, were a significant source of discord.
This behavior reportedly persisted despite Rathee’s objections, with Taneja allegedly demeaning her efforts in their marriage. The Reddit post outlines a turning point following Taneja’s dismissal from AirAsia and Rathee’s subsequent career advancement, which purportedly dealt a blow to Taneja’s ego and sparked further disputes within the family.
Further exacerbating the situation were the pressures from Taneja’s family for a male heir, leading to tension after the birth of their second daughter. A notable conflict during a vlog titled ‘Desh Ka Dhoni’ was also mentioned as a contributing factor to their marital strife. The Reddit user alleges that Rathee discovered Taneja’s infidelity, including encounters with escorts and use of paid online sex services. Disagreements regarding Taneja’s association with rapper Honey Singh and repeated instances of Taneja booking hotel rooms for secretive meetups were also highlighted.
Despite Taneja’s customary apologies, Rathee’s discovery of another betrayal led her to seek solace at her sister’s residence, marking a pivotal moment in their relationship. In a significant move, Ritu Rathee took to Instagram to address the swirling separation rumors with a revealing video post. She candidly spoke about the disagreements between her and Taneja, attributing stubbornness on both sides as a key issue. Rathee criticized the societal penchant for gossip, expressing her frustration over the public’s intrusion into their personal matters. Despite acknowledging the unresolved nature of their marital issues, she urged the community to refrain from further speculation.
