Bhuvan Bam gets candid about his late dad’s drinking habit in his recent podcast interview, take a look at the viral video below
Bhuvan Bam, one of India’s most beloved YouTubers, has not only showcased his comedic talents on his channel BB Ki Vines but has also ventured into acting with web series and short films. Despite his rising fame and success, Bhuvan has faced significant personal challenges, particularly dealing with his late father’s drinking problem. In a candid conversation on the YouTube channel We Are Yuvaa’s show, Be A Man, Yaar, Bhuvan opened up about this deeply emotional and difficult period in his life.
During the interview, Bhuvan described the turmoil caused by his father’s alcoholism. He recounted how he tried to understand and help his father, asking him why he drank during the day, especially when the family had reasons to celebrate, like reaching 10 million followers on his channel and planning family trips. His father’s response was always resistant, insisting on being left alone and not interfered with, even as he acknowledged his happiness for Bhuvan’s achievements. Bhuvan felt powerless, unable to forcibly take away the alcohol because of the respect he had for his father.
The situation at home often turned chaotic due to his father’s drinking. Despite his online success and the adoration of his fans, who would gather outside his house in large numbers, Bhuvan was deeply uncomfortable with the domestic strife. The constant presence of fans outside contrasted starkly with the turmoil inside, where he was begging his father not to scream and create scenes. This led Bhuvan to stop going to his balcony, avoiding the public eye while dealing with the private chaos.
