"Baby Rathee coming in September."
Dhruv Rathee took to his Instagram profile to reveal that he was expecting his first child with his wife Juli Lbr.
The YouTuber posted several pictures of a visibly pregnant Juli on the platform.
He captioned the post: “Baby Rathee coming in September.”
The post garnered mixed reactions from netizens.
Some expressed happiness for the couple.
One fan wrote: “Congratulations to both of you.”
Another added: “All beautiful wishes to you and your baby.”
A third user said: “Wishing you all the best, our nation’s pride.”
However, some users responded to the news with sarcasm.
One person said: “Big night gave big poison. Now, the small one will get poison.”
Another user quipped: “Baby be like, ‘Friends, you will get link in this subscription and there is a 40% discount for 1,000 people’.”
One user crassly said: “A new member means that Modi is in danger.”
In May 2024, Dhruv Rathee addressed claims that Juli was Pakistani.
He wrote on X: “They have no answer to the videos I made so they’re spreading these fake claims.
“And how desperate do you have to be to drag my wife’s family into this?
“You can also see the disgusting moral standard of these IT Cell employees.
“They have no answer to the questions I raised in my videos.
“They’re completely rattled! They’re getting more shameless day by day regarding the lies they spew.
“For the record, I’m obviously 100% Indian and my wife is 100% German.”
This incident elicited support for the couple.
One fan said: “I will always support Dhruv Rathee.”
Another commented: “Bringing his wife into this? That’s so WRONG.
“Doesn’t matter if you support what he says or not. This is definitely out of line.”
The incident was not the first time Dhruv had been in scandalous headlines.
In September 2023 internet couple Anurag and Karolina Goswami accused Dhruv of sending goons to attack them.
They alleged: “Dhruv Rathee’s radicalised supporters have targeted us in Europe.
“We have faced two attacks – one in France and the other one in Germany.”
“I hope and expect that the government of India will do something to protect us from this we have already visited two police stations in Europe.
“After a lot of discussion and careful thinking, we have decided to make this public.
“Yes, I want the YouTube community to see the terror that we face and how it happened.”
Dhruv Rathee boasts a following of over 18 million subscribers.
He married Juli in November 2021 in Vienna, Austria.
