NEW DELHI: YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, widely known as Flying Beast, has responded to recent rumors regarding his marriage to wife Ritu Rathee. Speculation about their relationship troubles escalated after fans noticed Rathee’s appearance at the ‘Bhajan Marg’ event by Premanand Maharaj, where she raised concerns about infidelity and child custody.

Taneja took to Instagram on Saturday to address the swirling rumors for the first time. 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.” Taneja urged his followers to “stop making any assumptions,” addressing the rapid judgment that often surrounds men in such situations.

The 38-year-old YouTuber expressed frustration with societal perceptions, saying, “Men are made villains very fast.” He also noted that social media is not the appropriate platform to air family matters and reiterated his intention to keep personal issues private. Taneja concluded his message with a hopeful sentiment that the challenges with his wife would be resolved soon.

A report by The New Indian highlighted several YouTube titles from Taneja’s channel over the past five years, where he has openly discussed family-related topics. Some notable titles include
“मेरा अंडरवियर सोसाइटी गार्डन में मिला” (My Underwear Was Found in the Society Garden)
“बाथरूम में घमासान लड़ाई” (Intense Fight in the Bathroom)
“आज भी अपने कच्छे ख़ुद धोने पड़ते हैं” (I Still Have to Wash My Own Underwear)
“रितु की प्रेगनेंसी” (Ritu’s pregnancy)
“पिहु ने राशि की मैडम के सामने पिटाई कर दी” (Pihu beat up Rashi in front of the teacher)
“आज पहली बार इसने मुझ पर शक किया” (For the first time, she doubted me today)

Amid the controversy, an old vlog resurfaced, where Taneja discussed the topic of extramarital affairs, asserting that many occur due to neglect by wives after the birth of a child. In the video, he stated, “Most of the extramarital affairs, 80-82%, happen after having a baby,” emphasizing the importance of men dedicating time to their wives and families.
