Bhuvan Bam

Bhuvan Bam was born on 22 January 1995, in Baroda, Gujarat. Later on, he shifted to New Delhi with his family where he spent his growing up years. He attended the prestigious Green Fields School in South Delhi from where he completed his high school.

He completed his graduation from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Delhi University. After completing his education, he found employment in a pub in New Delhi, ‘The Bars’ where he performed as a singer and instrumentalist.

Apart from entertaining patrons at a local pub in Delhi, he gave performances as a comedian as well as was a supporting act in numerous concerts, stage shows and events. He had been honing his skills as an entertainer and stand-up comedian from his school years.

Bhuvan Bam started his internet career by posting a sardonic footage of news reporter asking insensitive questions to a woman regarding to her son’s death in the Kashmir floods. The post received about 15,000 views on his Facebook profile. In the same year, he uploaded his first YouTube video, titled, ‘The Chakhna Issue’.

Bam’s debut YouTube video ‘The Chakhna Issue’ picked up just 15-20 views compelling him to remove the video from the popular social media channel. However, the video was reposted by his subscribers later on. A video recorded accidently via a brand new Nexus phone’s front camera named, ‘I’m feeling horny’ became intensely popular in Pakistan.

The unprecedented popularity of ‘I’m feeling horny’ inspired him to create his own YouTube channel in June 2015, which he named ‘BB Ki Vines’. Later on, he joined forces with two Pakistan-registered YouTube channels, ‘Bekaar Vines’ and ‘Karachi Vyns’.

Bhuvan uses the front camera of his iPhone 6 Plus to record videos that he posts on ‘BB Ki Vines’. With more than 5 million fans following him on YouTube who have viewed his vlogs over 720 million times, he definitely is India’s one of the most popular YouTubers.

His videos have a runtime ranging from 2-8 minutes and generally have themes portraying the lives of teenagers growing up in modern metropolitan cities. The plots normally revolve around Valentine’s Day, parents, teachers, and girlfriends and are tempered with a high dose of humour that is unmistakably ribald.
