Bhuvan Bam (pronounced [ˈbʱʊʋən baːm]; born Bhuvan Avnindra Shankar Bam; 22 January 1994) is an Indian comedian, writer, singer, actor, songwriter, and YouTube personality from Delhi, India. He is known for his comedy channel on YouTube named BB Ki Vines.

Early life and education

Bam was born on 22 January 1994 in Vadodara, Gujarat[1] in a Maharastrian family to Avnindra and Padma Bam. Later on, his family moved to Delhi. He attended Green Fields School in Delhi and graduated from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Delhi University, with a bachelor's degree in history.[2]

Bam's parents died in 2021 from a COVID-19 infection.[3]

Career

Bam launched his internet career in uploading a video in which he lampooned a news reporter who asked a woman insensitive questions regarding the death of her son due to the Kashmir floods. The video went viral in Pakistan, inspiring Bam to create his own YouTube channel in June 2015.[4]

BB Ki Vines

BB Ki Vines is a YouTube channel whose 2–12 minute videos depicts the life of an urban teenager, and his whimsical conversations with his friends and family – all played by Bam himself.[5] He has 25 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and is known for playing characters like Bhuvan, Banchoddas, Sameer Fuddi, Titu Mama, Bablu, Janki, Mrs. Verma, Adrak Baba, Mr. Hola, Papa Maakichu, Detective Mangloo, Dr. Sehgal and Babli Sir.[6]

The videos are filmed using a front camera on a phone by Bam himself. He originally uploaded his videos to Facebook, and then moved to YouTube.[7]

In August 2016, Bam released a music video "Teri Meri Kahani". This was followed by "Sang Hoon Tere", "Safar", "Rahguzaar" and "Ajnabee". He also appeared in a short film, Plus Minus, along with Divya Dutt which earned him a Filmfare award.[8][9] In December 2018, he began a new digital series on YouTube called Titu Talks, that featured Shah Rukh Khan as the first guest.[6]

In 2019, he released the song, "Ajnabee" on his YouTube channel.[10]

In May 2020, Bam uploaded an episode of Titu Talks titled 'Lifeline of Society' in which he interviewed an electrician, house help, farmers, transgenders and milkmen to understand the difficulties they are facing during the COVID-19 lockdown in India.[11]

In January 2021, he released a statement claiming that his uploaded videos had a total number of 3 billion views.[12] In October of the same year, he released the web series Dhindora on YouTube, with eight episodes.[13]

In January 2023, he made his OTT debut with Taaza Khabar.[14] In the same month, he was seen in Amazon miniTV's Rafta Rafta opposite Srishti Rindani.[15]
