Youtuber and creator, Bhuvan Bam has had his share of personal struggles during Covid-19 pandemic, where he lost his parents to the disease. The creator had never come out and spoken out his grief until now. In his recent appearance in We Are Yuvaa’s Be A Man, Yaar, Bhuvan opened about his loss and how it impacted his life.
He was visibly emotional when he said, "I am still struggling to process this feeling." He further confessed that this is the only reason for not picking up the matter. He added, “Jo ho gaya, koi fayeda nahi soch kar.
..” (What’s done is done, there’s no use thinking about it).
” The creator for the first time ever addressed his dad and his drinking problem. He mentioned how he had always tried to understand the root cause of his dad’s alcoholism but Bhuvan was directed to leave him alone. “I tried to understand his problem,” confessed the creator.
“I asked him, ‘Who drinks in the middle of the day? What is the problem? Tell us. We have just cut a cake celebrating 10 million followers (on BB Ki Vines), we planned to travel. Then why are you drinking at 12 in the afternoon?’ He replied, ‘I am habitual to this and I want you guys to not intervene.
Let me be. I am very happy for all of you, just don’t interfere.’ Simple.
I wondered what do I tell after this? I can’t forcefully pull the drink away because he’s my father,” Bhuvan gave a deeper understanding of his issues and mentioned, “Now when I look back, it’s funny but at that point, it was scary. My house was exposed to everyone. There was always a queue outside my house and after BB Ki Vines picked up, I stopped going into my balcony.
Because there were always 60-70 people there, be it at 2 am or 3 am at night. In between all this, andar kalesh chal rahe hai ghar mein — begging him not to scream, matlab, ghamaasan ghar ke andar.” My room was on top, where I make the videos.
The path to the room was from outside. If I go from that way and if someone calls out for me, now I have to oblige. My conscious will not allow me to ignore that and go upstairs.
So I will take a detour, I will open the gate, click photos with everyone. Once everyone is gone, I’ll come inside, I’ll chat with dad, and try to understand his problem. But the decibel would be high.
That cycle never stopped. Then I decided that I can’t live like this, I have to shift houses,” Bhuvan Bam, who rose to fame on the Youtube show ‘BB ki Vines,’ made his acting debut in 2023 with Hotstar’s Taaza Khabar. The creator is now working on season 2 of the same.
