The poll had two options- yes, start your vlogs and Insta and Jaisa aapko sahi lage (as you like). The YouTuber sought the suggestion of his followers before he began on a new phase in life.

It all started in the first week of March when Anurag shared a YouTube video, calling it his "final video", accusing his parents and brother Kalam of mentally harassing and torturing him over his interfaith marriage with Ritika. The YouTuber claimed that his family wasn't happy with his marriage and didn't even let Ritika enter the house and thus they had to live separately.

Soon after his video, his brother Kalam called him out for "one-sided allegations" and further claimed that Anurag is doing all of this for views. Kalam dismissed all the allegations against the family.

On March 7, Anurag started his Instagram live session while driving a car. He told viewers he felt completely alone and had no one left to call while driving his Toyota Fortuner SUV on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway, with the speedometer reportedly showing 140-150 kmph. During the livestream, he said, "Log hi nahi bache hai yaar jisko phone karu (I have no one left, whom to call?), let's go for a final ride." He crashed his car but was rescued and taken to the hospital. Following the incident, his manager shared an update confirming that the YouTuber had been admitted to the ICU and was under medical observation. Now, Anurag is back home and is in his recovery phase.
