The 35-year-old YouTuber is married to Ritu Rathee who is also a commercial pilot and a leading mommy influencers. The couple got married in 2015 and are proud parents to two adorable daughters, Kairavi (Rasbhari) and Chaitravi (Pihu).

While people know their love stories, very few know the struggle that they’ve been through.

In a candid chat with India Forums, Taneja spoke at length about a tough phase in his relationship with Ritu wherein he felt that Ritu’s feelings for him has changed. Elaborating on the same, Gaurav said, “Every couple goes through a difficult phase wherein they feel like things are falling apart. Ritu and I also faced such situation when we became parents for the first time. Ritu was totally engrossed with the mommy duties. She was going through a lot. From figuring out baby’s sleeping cycle to feeding her and everything else. I wasn’t around her as I had to go to work. At one point in time, I thought that Ritu doesn’t love me anymore as I wasn’t her priority. Post two-three months, I spoke to Ritu and asked her if she don’t love me anymore and she stated that she felt the same about me. We sat down and spoke about the issue. I realized that I wasn’t able to understand her and the routine change that happened with the baby’s arrival. I was a first time father too and didn’t know what to expect with the baby entering a couple’s life. I believe a lot of couple who live in the nuclear set-up go through this phase. Later, when our second baby was born, we’re well prepared to handle the situation better”.

Speaking about who among Ritu and him was more excited for Smart Josi, Gaurav said, “Well, both of us were thrilled to bag the show. However, Ritu gets more concerned towards our second born being in the vanity. She rushes to feed her or clean her. But, I love being on the stage, owning the stage, sharing my stories. I believe, I was excited and loving the experience of being on the show”.
