The private life of popular YouTuber Sourav Joshi and his new wife, Avantika Bhatt, has been thrust into the spotlight following serious allegations from a former schoolmate. The couple, who reportedly married in a private ceremony in Rishikesh in November 2025, are now at the center of an online controversy involving claims of past bullying.
The Viral Allegations from a Schoolmate
Content creator Anisha Mishra, known as @anisha.mishraaa on Instagram with over 18,000 followers, set the internet abuzz with a pointed social media post. She shared a reel hinting at her experiences with high school bullying, with text that read, “They said karma is real, look at your high school bullies now. Not really, mine is getting married to Sourav Joshi…” She captioned the post, “Not everyone gets justice, Ig.”
When fans flooded her with questions, Anisha elaborated on her claims. She alleged that Avantika Bhatt bullied her during their school years for being “too skinny” and for having “hair that wasn’t straight like the others.” Anisha described the profound emotional impact, stating the experience made her fearful, avoid eye contact, and even lock herself in a prayer room, questioning why she wasn't “normal.” These claims have gone viral, though they have not been independently verified.
A Private Wedding and a Low-Profile Life
The controversy emerges against the backdrop of Sourav Joshi's recent marriage. The YouTuber, who boasts a massive subscriber base of over 37 million, tied the knot with Avantika Bhatt in Rishikesh. While Joshi shared glimpses of pre-wedding ceremonies like the haldi, he has kept the official wedding photos private.
Avantika Bhatt, who hails from Uttarakhand where her father works as an astrologer, has consistently maintained a low public profile. Until now, she was known primarily as the fiancée and now wife of the famous content creator, staying away from the limelight.
Internet Erupts with Reactions
The online community has reacted swiftly and voluminously to the allegations. Social media comments reflect a mix of curiosity, support for the accuser, and typical internet drama:
- “Spill?” – a direct demand for more gossip.
- “So all victims really do become the most beautiful people to walk the planet.”
- “Tea khud aa jaati hai mere paas. Love my feed.”
- “Where’s my popcorn?”
This incident underscores how quickly individuals connected to public figures, even those who choose privacy, can become the focus of intense public scrutiny and debate. The story continues to circulate, highlighting the powerful and often unforgiving nature of online discourse.
