New Delhi:
Popular YouTube Dhruv Rathee on Tuesday addressed reports circulating on social media regarding his wife. Viral posts claimed that Mr Rathee’s “real name” is Badruddin Rashid Lahori and his wife, Julie, is a Pakistani national called Zulaikha. They also claimed the couple lives in underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s bungalow in Karachi under the protection of the Pakistani military.
There have been many posts recently targeting Mr Rathee, who has over 18 million subscribers and is known for his videos critical of the government.
“They have no answer to the videos I made so they’re spreading these fake claims. And how desperate do you have to be to drag my wife’s family into this? You can also see the disgusting moral standard of these IT Cell employees,” Mr Rathee said in response to the claims.
