More about Dhruv Rathee and his wife Juli Lbr
Dhruv Rathee and Juli Lbr’s love story reads like something out of a modern-day fairytale. The couple first crossed paths in 2014 when both were just about 19 years old — Dhruv, an Indian student pursuing engineering in Germany, and Juli, a German local, happened to meet on a tram where he was commuting to his internship and she to school. Their casual talks soon blossomed into a deep bond that lasted for years.
After nearly seven years of dating, Dhruv and Juli got married in November 2021 in an intimate ceremony in Europe, followed by traditional celebrations in India. Their journey entered a new chapter in 2024 when they welcomed their first child, a baby boy. Since then, Dhruv has often spoken about how parenthood has been one of the most fulfilling phases of his life, further highlighting the strong bond the couple shares.
Known for his strongly opinionated content, Dhruv Rathee has often been a target of online attacks, especially for his critical stance on the government. While this has made him a frequent subject of controversy, it has also helped him build a massive and loyal fan base that values his attempt to highlight issues many feel are ignored by mainstream media.
