Popular YouTuber and influencer Gaurav Taneja, famously known as ‘Flying Beast,’ has found himself in the midst of controversy following a viral video of his wife, Ritu Rathee. In the video, Ritu is allegedly seen at a religious gathering discussing personal struggles, including issues of ‘cheating’ and contemplating the custody of her children.

While her face was hidden and her identity not explicitly revealed, keen fans were quick to recognize her voice and mannerisms, sparking speculation about potential marital problems between the couple.

The video, which surfaced online recently, quickly attracted the attention of both Gaurav and Ritu’s followers, who flooded Gaurav’s social media posts with questions and accusations.

Despite the ongoing buzz, Ritu has remained silent, choosing not to respond to the speculation directly. However, Gaurav took to Instagram to share his perspective, issuing a statement that called out how men are often prematurely cast as ‘villains’ in such situations.

In his post, Gaurav 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.”

He further urged people to stop making assumptions, noting that men often express less and are quickly judged:
“Men are made villains very fast. We don’t cry, we talk less, and express less. Some of us are hardwired like that. Social media is not a place to discuss family matters. I have nothing to say. Hopefully, everything will be sorted soon.”

He added that he believes his challenges are part of a larger divine plan:
“Mere poorva janam ke aur is janam ke bahut paap ekatrit honge. Yeh bhagwaan ki kripa hi hai, ki isi janam mein, woh mere saare praarabdh nasth kar rahe hai.”

Taneja also acknowledged his commitments as a content creator, stating:
“PS- Honestly, I don’t feel like posting anything. But I have some commitments to fulfill, and this is my work. I would be posting some already shot content, can’t let others suffer due to my personal issues. So please excuse me for that.”

While Gaurav has disabled the comment section on this particular post, Ritu briefly responded by resharing his statement on her Instagram story, opting not to add any further comment.

Though neither Gaurav nor Ritu has confirmed any details about a potential divorce, the viral video and Gaurav’s heartfelt message have fueled speculation about trouble in their relationship. Fans of the couple, who are well-known for their travel vlogs and family content, remain eager for further clarity, but it appears the duo prefers to keep their personal matters private for now.
