Anurag Dobhal is an Indian moto-vlogger, travel YouTuber, and social media influencer born on 18 September 1997 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. His father, Jadamba Prasad Dobhal, was a government school mathematics teacher who won the state-level Best Teacher Award (2009) and the President's Award (2010). Anurag faced serious health challenges early in life - diagnosed with a brain tumour at age 6 and dealing with chronic asthma - but overcame both. His family's financial situation was very modest. He launched his YouTube channel 'The UK07 Rider' (UK07 being Dehradun's vehicle registration code) and built a following of millions with motorcycle road trip videos to Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Nepal, earning both YouTube Gold and Silver play buttons. He is married to Ritika and they have a daughter. In October 2023, he entered Bigg Boss Season 17 as an original contestant. On Day 30, Bigg Boss nominated him permanently for the rest of the season due to property damage. He was controversially evicted by housemates (not public vote) in Week 12 (Day 78), finishing 11th overall. Post-eviction, he publicly accused the show of bias, claiming suicidal thoughts during his isolation in a hotel after eviction.
