A viral post circulating on social media claims that Dhruv Rathi, a well-known social media personality, has ties to Pakistan. According to the post, Dhruv, identified as a Muslim, was born in Lahore as Badruddin Rashid Lahori. Additionally, it suggests his wife, named Zulaikha, is linked to gangster Dawood Ibrahim and owns a hidden mansion in Karachi.

Claim 

The viral post circulating on social media makes several alarming claims regarding Dhruv Rathi and his wife’s alleged connections to Pakistan. It asserts that Dhruv Rathi, identified as a Muslim, was born in Lahore, Pakistan, under the name Badruddin Rashid Lahori. Furthermore, the post alleges that his wife, known as Zulaikha, has ties to the notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim and owns a clandestine mansion in Karachi.

Reality

 Dhruv Rathi responded to the viral claims on Twitter, saying they’re all lies made up to make him look bad. He said the people spreading these lies are just trying to distract everyone from his videos, which talk about important stuff. He made it clear that there’s no truth to any of it.

In a tweet he said “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.”
