Bhuvan Bam Celebrates 10 Years of BB Ki Vines and Legacy
A decade ago, there was a boy with a guitar and a mobile phone who dared to think differently. Today, that boy is Bhuvan Bam: India’s favourite creator, storyteller, and performer. As BB Ki Vines completes 10 years, it is more than a milestone; it is a celebration of the decade that changed Indian comedy.
“I couldn’t have appreciated the love I’ve been receiving for the past 10 years more, and that it’s still pouring in feels unbelievable. From what was a one-off video in my bedroom, it has become a journey I would’ve never dreamt of. The characters and stories have all been my means of relating to you. BB Ki Vines is no longer just mine, it’s everybody who grew up watching it. To many more years of growing together.” remarked Bhuvan Bam on being asked about this landmark. But Bhuvan’s most significant legacy may be not what he built, but what he enabled.
He changed career prospects for Indian content creators, demonstrating that an individual, and a singular voice could create an empire. At a time when YouTube was still a niche space and “influencer” wasn’t a career goal, Bhuvan became one of the first independent creators to break out. In many ways, he walked so others could run, turning content creation into a respected profession. He also filled the gap for Indian comedy by introducing a new type of humour that was raw, character-driven, and local. Bhuvan emerged as the voice of a generation to explore love, school, parents, and cringe-worthy desi moments. What’s nuts is that he did it all by himself: writing, acting, editing, and producing every show himself.
Through the years, Bhuvan broadened his universe, with going-viral music, award-winning shows such as Dhindora and Taaza Khabar, and emotional interviews on Titu Talks. But amidst all that, he remained earthy, unapologetic, and honest.
A decade on, Bhuvan Bam isn’t a web sensation anymore, he’s a storytelling machine that remained true to form. He is proof that passion, if combined with honesty, can create something eternal.
