New Delhi:
Popular YouTube channel Dhruv Rathee on Tuesday addressed reports circulating on social media about his wife. Viral reports claimed that Mr Rathee Badruddin's 'real name' is Rashid Lahori and his wife, Julie, is a Pakistani national named Zulaikha. They also claimed that the couple lives in the underworld of Don Dawood Ibrahim's bungalow in Karachi, under the protection of the Pakistan Army.
There have been many posts lately targeting Mr Rathee, who has more than 18 million subscribers and is known for his videos criticizing the government.
“They have no answer to the videos I made, so they spread these false claims. And how desperate do you have to be to implicate my wife's family in this? You also see the disgusting moral standard of these IT Cell employees, Mr Rathee said in response to the claims.
