Anurag Dobhal is an Indian moto vlogger and social media influencer from Bhaniyawala, Dehradun. Known online as The UK07 Rider, he built a large YouTube fo

Early life and background

Anurag Dobhal was born on 18 September 1998 in Bhaniyawala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Raised in a lower-middle-class household, his father worked as a government school mathematics teacher and his mother is a homemaker. As a child he faced serious health challenges, including a brain tumour at age six and childhood asthma, from which he later recovered.

Anurag excelled academically, earning an impressive 95 percent in his 12th-class examinations in 2014. He attended Shri Guru Ram Rai Public School in Bhaniyawala and later studied at D.A.V. College, Dehradun. His higher education includes a B.Com degree and postgraduate studies in economics, as well as a B.Ed. While still studying he supplemented the family income by tutoring students and working part time as a teacher.

Career

Anurag began creating moto vlogs at age 20. He adopted the online identity The UK07 Rider and steadily grew his channel while balancing studies and tuition work. After completing his formal education he increased his upload frequency and transitioned to being a full-time creator when pandemic-related lockdowns ended his teaching job in 2020.

Early on he acquired a KTM RC 200 and used his savings and family support to buy higher-end bikes later. His travel vlogs, long-distance rides and charismatic presentation helped him build a large subscriber base on YouTube; he has been honoured with YouTube’s Silver and Gold Creator Awards.

In 2023 Anurag reached a wider mainstream audience when he entered Bigg Boss Season 17 as a contestant. During the show he was placed in the “brain house” and became involved in debates about perceived favoritism and show management. He left the programme early and agreed to pay a financial penalty for exiting mid-season.

Public profile

Anurag is best known for moto vlogs and for cultivating a devoted community he calls Brosena and Sistersena. His content and public persona have made him popular not only in India but also in neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bhutan.

Beyond entertainment, he has been active in charitable efforts, including donations to orphanages, providing medical help and donating an E-rickshaw to a woman to help her earn a living. He enjoys playing guitar, is a devotee of Lord Hanuman and keeps pets — two dogs named Sandy and Julie.

Awards and recognition include regional influencer honours at InfluenceEX 2023 – East and the Femina Mamaearth Beautiful Indian Award in 2023. He has also been recognised with YouTube creator awards for his channel’s subscriber milestones.

Personal life

Anurag goes by nicknames including Anu and Babu Bhaiya. He married Ritika Chauhan, a video creator; the pair were engaged on 5 March 2025 and married on 29 April 2025. He has a close bond with Bhavya Chauhan, whom he considers like a sister, and a brother, Atul Dobhal, who works as a lyricist and rapper.

Parts of Anurag’s personal life have been publicly contested. He experienced a high-profile breakup with a former partner, which became a source of emotional distress; following that period he sought solitude at religious sites to recover from depression. He has acknowledged periods of severe emotional difficulty and, according to public accounts, has contemplated self-harm.

In March 2026 Anurag was involved in a serious car accident on the Delhi‑Meerut expressway and was hospitalised briefly. He later reported that his family situation and prolonged depression had contributed to his mental health struggles.

Public controversies and statements

Anurag has been involved in controversies that received public attention. Allegations about personal relationships and criticism of his behaviour have circulated online. While on Bigg Boss he publicly complained about perceived bias by the show and its treatment of him; following his exit he released a video alleging that producers had restricted his contact with family and that he had experienced acute distress after leaving the show.

Latest updates

In recent years Anurag has continued to create content, participate in public events and speak openly about his experiences. He maintains an active presence in moto‑vlogging, regularly showcases bike rides and travel, and continues charitable initiatives that reflect his engagement with fans and local communities.

He remains a prominent figure among moto‑vloggers, noted for long-distance rides, a signature group of supporters and a visible lifestyle that includes a passion for motorcycles and travel.
