Gaurav breaks his silence

On Saturday, the YouTuber took to Instagram to break his silence on the matter. In his first-ever post addressing the rumours, he shared a note in Devnagri, which read, "Joi Joi mohe pyaar kare, soi mohe have," roughly translating to, "Those who love me, I love them back."

In a longer caption accompanying the post, Gaurav opened up about his stance, writing, “I will remain quiet for my kids and the mother of my child. Ready to live with all the negativity and hate for my entire life. Please don’t expect any public explanation. Please stop making assumptions. Men are made villains very fast. We don’t cry, we talk less, and express less. Some of us are hardwired like that.”

He also called for the public to stop making assumptions about his private life, making it clear that social media isn’t the appropriate place to discuss family matters. Gaurav emphasised his dedication to his work, explaining that despite personal struggles, he will continue posting content that had been pre-planned.
