Early life, family and education
Ruchika grew up in Uttar Pradesh and later moved to Delhi, where she still lives, according to ABP Live. The same profile dates her birth to November 1999. None of the news profiles of her names her parents, so they are left out here.
Pinkvilla reported that she has a sibling named Rishabh Gaurav, the one detail about her own family that these profiles include. For her schooling, BollywoodShaadis wrote that she reportedly attended a DAV school and earned a journalism degree from Delhi University. Neither detail has come from Ruchika herself in an interview.
Birth date: what is confirmed
The full date, November 1, 1999, appears in Pinkvilla’s profile and in Koimoi’s, which credits ABP Live for it. That puts her age at 26 until her next birthday.
A November 3, 1998 birth date and a Bihar birthplace also circulate on fan-run biography sites, along with claims of study at Lady Shri Ram College and IIM Ahmedabad. None of these details appears in a news report, and the birthplace conflicts with the Uttar Pradesh origin given by ABP Live and Pinkvilla. Her height is likewise listed only on fan sites, so it is not included.
Career: from video editor to creator
Ruchika started behind the camera. Hauterrfly reported that she worked as a video editor for Dimple Malhan’s channel, Dimple Malhan Vlogs, and ABP Live and Daily Jagran both still describe her as a content creator and video editor. BollywoodShaadis noted that the whole Malhan family works in YouTube, and her editing for them came before her own on-screen content.
Her channel, Ruchika Rathore, lists a join date of April 8, 2024. On September 25, 2026, the channel page showed 3.15 million subscribers, about 1.64 billion total views and 258 videos, with India as its country. Those numbers sit well above the 750,000 subscribers BollywoodShaadis counted in June 2025, so the channel grew roughly fourfold in the fifteen months after the wedding.
On Instagram, ABP Live, Pinkvilla and Daily Jagran all put her following at 1.4 million in June 2025. Her feed runs on fashion and makeup vlogs, get-ready-with-me videos, outfit hauls and haircare tips, per Pinkvilla and BollywoodShaadis, and Pinkvilla noted that she has worked with a number of brands.
Not every viewer rates her long-form output the same way. In a February 2026 thread in r/InstaCelebsGossip that criticized gaps in her YouTube uploads, one commenter pushed back on the premise:
“but it is also pretty clear yt long videos is not her goal she is consistent on short and ig reels tho”

Marriage to Nischay Malhan (Triggered Insaan)
Ruchika Rathore’s husband is Nischay Malhan, the YouTuber behind the Triggered Insaan channel and the elder brother of Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant Abhishek Malhan, also known as Fukra Insaan. Koimoi reported that Nischay is an IIT Delhi graduate who left his job to make videos full time and had more than 24 million YouTube subscribers at the time of the wedding.
How they met
The couple met in college in 2018 and started dating, according to Pinkvilla and Daily Jagran. Koimoi reported that they kept the relationship private for years. Abhishek Malhan told Pinkvilla, as quoted by Hauterrfly, that he did not know about it until Nischay told him he wanted to get engaged.
Engagement in December 2024
Nischay announced the engagement on social media in December 2024 with photos from the ceremony, Filmibeat reported, and he proposed with a diamond solitaire ring. BollywoodShaadis wrote that Nischay had already soft-launched her in his YouTube videos before that announcement.
Wedding date: June 9 or June 10
The wedding took place on June 9, 2025, at ITC Hotels Tavleen in Chail, Himachal Pradesh. Daily Jagran and Pinkvilla both give June 9, and Daily Jagran described the functions as low-key, with close family and friends.
June 10 also appears in print, in Koimoi, Hauterrfly and BollywoodShaadis. ABP Live’s account explains the gap. The ceremony was held on June 9, and the couple posted their wedding pictures the next day with the caption “Forever” and an infinity sign, which is when they publicly became “Mr and Mrs.” So June 9 is the wedding and June 10 is the announcement.
The celebrations started earlier. BollywoodShaadis reported that the haldi began on June 7, 2025. For the ceremony itself, Daily Jagran wrote that Ruchika wore a red Sabyasachi lehenga with traditional jewelry.
Net worth
Ruchika Rathore has not disclosed her earnings. BollywoodShaadis, citing a BollywoodLife report, put her net worth at Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.6 crore in June 2025, an estimate built on brand deals and ad revenue. Her channel has roughly quadrupled its subscriber count since then, so that estimate is likely out of date. Dollar figures listed on fan biography sites carry no source.
