YouTuber Anurag Dobhal, known online as UK07 Rider, suffered serious injuries earlier this month after crashing his car on the Meerut–Delhi Highway during an Instagram Live, and subsequently underwent multiple surgeries.

Anurag Dobhal’s health update
As Anurag Dobhal’s manager, Rohit Panday, left for Mumbai, he shared a video of Anurag promising to look after things and be happy and healthy. Later, Rohit also posted another story calling a few people opportunistic. He wrote, “Flying back to Mumbai after spending 14-15 days taking care of Anurag Bhai. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave his side, but I know there are a few people who can take care of him now. From this, I have learned one thing: in life, when we expect something from someone, they sometimes turn out to be opportunistic.”
Anurag Dobhal has been sharing occasional updates as he recovers. On Saturday, the content creator posted a series of Instagram Stories featuring a group of friends by his side. In one clip, he revealed that while his phone was destroyed in the crash, a few friends ensured they reached out and stayed with him. On Friday night, UK07 Rider shared another video, showing a stitched wound. He also asked fans if they would like to witness a new beginning in his life, hinting at a return to social media.
Where is Anurag Dobhal’s wife Ritika Chauhan?
Anurag Dobhal’s wife, Ritika Chauhan, was by his side during his hospitalisation; however, she has not been around since his discharge. On Friday, exclusively talking to SCREEN, Anurag’s manager RohitPanday shared his health update and said, “Anurag is currently safe, and we are at a friend’s farmhouse where all necessary facilities are available for his care. He is stable, trying to recover, and is staying positive throughout. We are extremely grateful to all our friends and everyone who supported us during this time. It truly means a lot, and we believe he has been given a second chance at life. Your prayers and support have made a difference.”
When asked whether Anurag’s wife, Ritika, was with him, Rohit said she was not around and declined to elaborate. Earlier reports suggested that Anurag’s relationship with Ritika had been strained in recent months, which had also affected his mental health. Ritika, who is nine months pregnant, has recently shared a series of cryptic posts, fuelling speculation about a possible separation. On Saturday night, Ritika reshared a post on Instagram stories that read, “Being strong for your child while your world is falling apart is a strength no one talks about.”
Earlier in the week, Ritika had posted another story where she wrote, “Once my prayers were about having you, now I just pray that everything finds its way back to peace and is alright.”
