Former Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dhobal, also known as UK Rider 07, has stirred controversy by posting a lengthy two-hour YouTube video detailing what he describes as eight months of severe mental anguish allegedly inflicted by his family members. In the emotional footage, Dhobal makes shocking accusations against his parents and relatives, claiming systematic psychological abuse that has left him deeply distressed.

Maxtern Dismisses Claims as 'Nautanki' and Attention-Seeking

Popular content creator Maxtern, whose real name is Sagar Thakur, has publicly criticized Dhobal's revelations, labeling them as theatrical performance rather than genuine suffering. Taking to social media, Maxtern wrote a scathing response: "I watched the 2-hour-long video of Anurag Dobhal aka UK Rider 07 and found he is doing nautanki! Don't fall for fake emotions! Learn to read people." This reaction has added fuel to the ongoing public debate about the authenticity of Dhobal's claims.

Dhobal's Detailed Allegations of Family Conflict and Wedding Drama

In his comprehensive video statement, Anurag Dhobal provides specific examples of the alleged mistreatment he has endured. He reveals that just six days before his scheduled wedding ceremony, his parents unexpectedly refused to attend the event, forcing him to manage all arrangements independently. Dhobal emotionally recounts being compelled to perform humiliating acts, stating: "Mere se haath judwayege, pair padwayege. Mere se sorry bulwaya gaya saare relatives ke saamne. Papa aur Mumma ne iss level tak torture kiya ki bola ki naa hum khush rahenge naa tujhe khush rehne denge." This translates to him being made to fold his hands, touch feet, and apologize publicly before relatives, with his parents allegedly declaring they would neither remain happy themselves nor allow him happiness.

Brother Kalam Dhobal Counters with Accusations of Fabrication

The controversy has escalated with Anurag Dhobal's brother, Kalam, responding via Instagram Stories to dispute the allegations. Kalam asserts that Anurag regularly creates drama to generate online traction and views, describing the video as a one-sided narrative lacking truth. He claims: "All the proofs have been given on my podcast channel. Also chill maro sab, it's his daily thing jo wo karta hai for views. One-sided story post kardi bhai ne, par sach nahi bataya." Kalam further alleges that Anurag filed a false legal case against family members, which he lost, prompting the video release after his partner Ritika left him due to his behavior.

Mental Health Struggles and Public Backlash

Throughout his video, Anurag Dhobal openly discusses battling depression over the past eight months, attributing his mental health decline to family conflicts. Meanwhile, Maxtern has shared his own perspective on facing life challenges, stating in a video: "Over the last few months, meri life itni drastically change hui hai ki maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki zindagi aise patak ke chhoregi." This highlights the broader conversation about mental well-being among public figures. The conflicting accounts have sparked intense discussion on social media platforms, with supporters and critics divided over the credibility of the allegations and the appropriate response to such personal disputes being aired publicly.
