The speculation surrounding their relationship has drawn significant attention, with social media users suggesting that the couple may be going through a difficult phase.

Amid the swirling rumors, an old video of Gaurav Taneja has resurfaced, adding fuel to the ongoing discussions.

“When you have a baby as a couple, the husband feels neglected for 2-3 months by the wife. All her time goes to the baby,” Gaurav is heard saying in the video, which appears to have been recorded after the birth of one of their two daughters, Pihu or Kiara. He further elaborated on how the wife may not have time to talk or connect with the husband, which can lead to emotional distancing.
In the video, Gaurav expressed that most people believe a baby would bring couples closer, but in reality, many marriages face challenges during this period. He cited that around 80% of extramarital affairs reportedly happen after childbirth, due to the emotional and physical disconnect between spouses. He advised new fathers to remain patient and supportive during this time, reminding them that the baby is also theirs and to stay in control of their emotions.
Responding to the rumors for the first time, Gaurav Taneja shared a heartfelt post, stating that he will remain silent for the sake of his children and their mother. In a lengthy message, he acknowledged the negativity surrounding the situation but emphasized that social media is not the right platform to discuss personal issues.
“Ready to live with all the negativity and hate for my entire life. Please don’t expect any public explanation. Please stop making assumptions. Men are made villains very fast. We don’t cry, we talk less, and express less. Some of us are hardwired like that,” Gaurav wrote in his post, explaining that he would not provide any further public clarifications.
Shortly after Gaurav’s statement, Ritu Rathee also addressed the rumors in a video message, particularly those suggesting that her husband had been unfaithful. Ritu clarified that while they may have had disagreements, it did not justify the assumptions being made about Gaurav’s character.
“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,” she stated, affirming that she does not need social media’s validation about her husband.
Gaurav Taneja, a former airline pilot, is a popular YouTuber with multiple successful channels, including Flying Beast, Fit Muscle TV, and Rasbhari Ke Papa. His vlogs, which often feature his wife Ritu and their two daughters, are widely loved by his audience. His main channel, Flying Beast, has over 9 million subscribers, while his Instagram boasts over 3 million followers.
