In an emotional video shared on Instagram today, YouTuber and pilot Ritu Rathee has addressed ongoing rumors about her separation from her husband, Gaurav Taneja, better known by his online persona, Flying Beast. The couple, who have been together for eight years and have two daughters, found themselves at the center of speculation regarding their marriage.
Rathee, a content creator and airline pilot, directly addressed the swirling rumors, urging her followers and the general public to refrain from making Gaurav Taneja the villain in their marital issues. Echoing sentiments expressed earlier by Taneja, Rathee stated, “A marriage is between two people. People are quick to make men the villain.”

The video, titled “Divorce Reality Check,” saw Rathee slamming those who spread baseless rumors and make assumptions about her personal life. “Something small happened between a husband and wife. He thought he was right, I thought I was right. We both got stubborn,” she said, adding, “But that doesn’t give anyone the right to tell me who he is. I know him inside out.”
Rathee took the opportunity to call out the toxic side of social media, firmly stating, “I don’t need support from social media. I quit social media a year ago, and I don’t regret it.” She criticized those who jump to conclusions and gossip about the personal lives of others. “In the past, when people lived in joint families, society always blamed the woman. Now, society blames the man when a couple separates,” she added, pointing out the changing dynamics in modern relationships.
Days after a video featuring a woman seeking spiritual advice went viral, Rathee confirmed that she was indeed the person in the footage. The video shows a tearful woman, her face covered, asking spiritual guru Premanand Govind Sharan for guidance about her future. “I have daughters, and I can’t keep working forever,” the woman was heard saying.
Ritu Rathee confirmed her identity, stating, “Yes, that was me.” In the viral video, she was seen expressing her concerns about balancing her job with her responsibilities as a mother.
In her post, Rathee lashed out at the societal tendency to point fingers and judge others, particularly when relationships face challenges. “People love to gossip about those living in glass houses. Society is quick to judge without knowing the real story,” she said, making it clear that the real details of their separation were private.
Rathee’s video ended on a strong note, calling for understanding and compassion. “Every marriage goes through ups and downs, but it’s important to remember that only the people involved know the truth. Stop speculating, stop blaming, and stop gossiping.”
The couple, who have built a large fan base through their YouTube channel, have remained relatively quiet about their marital struggles until now. Rathee’s video offers a rare glimpse into the reality behind the rumors, reminding people that there’s always more to the story than meets the eye.
