Popular YouTuber and former Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal recently opened up about facing one of the toughest periods of his life. The moto-vlogger, widely known as UK07 Rider, revealed in an emotional vlog that he had to sell off his expensive bike collection, reportedly worth around Rs 10 crore, after falling into a major financial crisis.
In the vlog, Anurag took viewers through his garage in Dehradun, which once housed several luxury and superbikes that he had collected over the years through his hard work and success as a content creator. However, the garage now appears almost empty, with only two bikes remaining. The YouTuber admitted that parting with the collection was heartbreaking because the bikes were deeply connected to his journey, passion, and identity as a moto-vlogger.
Speaking candidly about the difficult decision, Anurag said he urgently needed money at the time and had no other option but to sell the bikes. He shared that the crisis affected him emotionally and mentally, leaving him unable to speak openly about his struggles earlier. According to him, he was going through a phase where he felt lost and overwhelmed by multiple personal and financial issues happening simultaneously.
Anurag also revealed that the garage property was not registered in his name and even the electricity connection had been disconnected during the difficult period. He said the situation made him realise how unpredictable life can become despite achieving fame and financial success at a young age. The influencer admitted that the experience humbled him and changed his perspective towards money, stability, and relationships.
Apart from financial troubles, Anurag has also been dealing with health issues after suffering a serious car accident earlier this year. The accident reportedly happened while he was on an Instagram Live session. He sustained injuries that continue to affect his mobility. In the vlog, he mentioned that he is still recovering and cannot ride heavy bikes yet because his legs have not fully healed. Doctors have reportedly advised him to avoid strenuous riding for several more months.
The YouTuber further shared that he and his wife, Ritika, are now trying to rebuild their lives together. He described the last year as emotionally exhausting due to family tensions, career setbacks, and financial instability. Despite the challenges, Anurag said he remains hopeful about the future and wants to start afresh. His emotional revelation has since received support from fans across social media, with many praising him for speaking honestly about his struggles behind the glamorous online image.
