Gaurav Taneja has been the focus of speculation about his marriage to Ritu Rathee, which intensified after Ritu sought spiritual guidance from Premanand Govind Sharan. A viral video featuring Ritu discussing concerns about infidelity and custody of their daughters further fueled the rumors.
In response to the situation, Taneja addressed the public directly via Instagram by posting a photo of himself and Ritu in their car. He wrote, “To everyone reading this, your parents must have also gone through tough times in their marriage and might not have even disclosed it to you (immediate family). The message is clear, jab tumhare maa baap ne tumhe apne relation mein nahi ghusaya, to please hum kaise ghusaye.” This statement was interpreted as a plea for privacy and respect during a challenging period.
