Pele once said, “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” Bhuvan Bam embodies those qualities, just the way his success does.

Four years ago, Bhuvan began his journey with an impulsive decision to imitate a journalist from Kashmir, to highlight the insensitivity of the reporters sometimes. And then there was no looking back after that.

Today, he is one of the most successful YouTuber in the world with 14 million plus subscribers. The characters played by him has struck a chord with the masses. However, he cannot be stereotyped just as a comedian. His passion for music translates into songs written, composed and sung by him. His singles ‘Teri Meri Kahani’, ‘Sang Hoon Tere’ and ‘Safar’ are equally successful as his comedy. And he does not stop at that. Recently, he won a Filmfare for his acting in his debut short film ‘Plus Minus’ opposite Divya Dutta.

But the most important of it all is that he is a very humble and simple family guy. Listen to his story in his own words.
