Anurag Dobhal, UK07 Rider, chooses positivity after car crash, pledges to build everything for son: ‘My son will have his father around’

Anurag Dobhal apologizes for his car crash

Talking about his recent behavior on social media, Anurag Dobhal apologized and explained, “It’s very shocking for me to make this vlog. What I did with my life was wrong; I shouldn’t have done that. When a person breaks down in life, his mental health is so bad that he makes any decision.”

He further added, “In India, men are thought not to cry or express. I also made that mistake, and when those emotions were bottled up, I made the worst decision of my life. I am really sorry.”

‘This is a new beginning’

Anurag also went on to share an update on his health and spoke about his family’s reaction to his car crash. He said, “I gained consciousness after two days following the crash. I was under medication, and I didn’t know what was happening around me. I didn’t have my phone, but later I got to know that someone made a statement, ‘that he lives or dies, he is already dead to us’, which broke me. No one from my family came to see me, even when I was in that state.”

“When I saw the support I got on the internet, a lot of friends are around me, they come to see me every day. After that accident, I felt like an orphan; that pain is very bad, and I wish no one ever goes through it. I was going through depression, and I didn’t realize what I was doing. A lot of people go through mental health trauma. At that time, it’s important to understand the person and try to explain them, and people around that person can do that. People take depression lightly; I am a prime victim of it. Today, I can control my emotions and explain myself; it could only have happened because my friends supported me. Back then, I was mentally unstable, I faced four times the damage, and I would take time to recover. I am content about one thing: I didn’t harm anyone, my action was wrong, but I am glad I did not damage anybody. I am taking therapy now,” Anurag Dobhal shared.

Anurag Dobhal on becoming a father

Anurag Dobhal and his wife welcomed their son on 27th March, talking about becoming a father, UK07 Rider pledged to build everything from zero for his child. He said, “I am recovering, I am not completely fine, and I don’t have a house to live in. I am making this vlog because a few hours back, I became a father. I was financially broke, people I thought were well-wishers messed up things in my personal life, and it’s my mistake; I trusted the wrong people. I have faced a lot, and it’s difficult to get out of it. Now, I don’t have a house, a family, or any blood relation. I am on heavy medication, my right leg is numb, and I cannot feel it. But I am going to meet my son.”

He added, “When I learned about becoming a father, I couldn’t express what I felt because I didn’t have any emotions left. In the last video I had uploaded, I said I would leave everything behind for my child. I am building everything from zero now for my child. Even though I am an orphan, my son will have his father around.”

Later, Anurag was seen travelling in an SUV to meet his newborn son in Dehrabun. He shared, “It’s too early in the morning, so we couldn’t get an ambulance, hence I have decided to go by car. I don’t know how my condition will be till I reach Dehradhun, it’s very painful, it will take us 5-6 hours to travel. The pain is severe, but I am sure when I meet my son, all the pain will feel worth it.”

A few weeks back, Anurag had hinted at making a comeback, and now his latest vlog on YouTube has gotten almost 2 million views in 16 hours.

Mumbai-based psychologist Dr Shwetambara Sabharwal earlier wrote for the Indian Express, “One is not only unable to recover from the past, but also predicts the future based on it. It is a thinking style commonly found in cases of depression. By ceasing to define ourselves by our unchangeable history, abuse, trauma, loss or rejection in the past, and looking at our present and doing the best possible in the moment, can help with more functional emotions.”
