In his emotional confessional vlog Anurag Dobhal which is popular on YouTube explained his personal life battle which causes him deep emotional suffering. Anurag shared his mental health difficulties which started three months ago because sudden life changes created a situation he had not expected which left him feeling completely alone.

Anurag shared his personal experience by revealing his severe depression and suicidal thoughts which resulted from his current situation. In his explanation he expressed his regret about losing his relationship with Ritika because external factors controlled her decision-making process.

Youtuber Anurag Dobhal in his last vlog said, “Over the last few months, meri life itni drastically change hui hai ki maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki zindagi aise patak ke chhoregi (My life changed drastically, I never thought that life would throw me down like this and leave me shattered).” He added that he attempted suicide, stating that, “Mere se haath judwayege, pair padhwaayege. Mere se sorry bulwaya gaya saare relatives ke saamne. Papa aur mumma ne iss level tak torture kiya ki bola ki naa hum khush rahenge naa tujhe khush rehne denge (I was made to fold my hands and beg, made to touch their feet. I was forced to apologise in front of all the relatives. Dad and Mum tortured me to the extent that they said, ‘We will neither stay happy ourselves nor let you stay happy).” Adding that his wife Ritika has also left his side, he said, his parents refused to accept his marriage because he opted for an inter-caste marriage. He said, “Mere maut ke zimmedar mummy, papa, Kalam (brother) and Shreya. I have nothing left to do anything. I am under a lot of depression. Mujhe samajh nahi aaraha kaise yeh feeling eliminate karoon. Iss video ke baad shayad main gayab hojaaunga. Main bus sona chahta hoon. 5 din se kuch khaaya nahi hai, dimaag ekdum khatam hogaya hai (I don’t understand how to eliminate this feeling. After this video, maybe I will disappear. I just want to sleep. I haven’t eaten anything for five days; my mind feels completely exhausted).” He further added a note in Hindi, saying, “After I am gone, Shreya, Mum and Dad may say many things or even lie, but I was not wrong. Ritika, many people influenced you and lied to you, but I always loved you and did everything for you. However, you trusted others, believed what they said, made wrong decisions and left me. I loved my child, and that was my only hope. I wish you had believed me. I wish you had not trusted other people. I wish you had stood by me. You were manipulated by many people who were not truly loyal to anyone. After I am gone, at least take a stand for me and my child and speak the truth. I never wanted to prove you wrong, but after I’m gone, please stand up and fight for our respect,” per Hindustan Times.
In between, Anurag’s brother Kalam stated that he used to physically abuse his wife, Ritika’s repost section suggests that there were troubles in their marriage.
