4. BB Ki Vines
BB Ki Vines is an Indian YouTube channel which is popular
among today’s youngsters, run by a 23 year old Delhiite, Bhuvan
Bam a.k.a. BB/Bam. The videos on this YouTube channel show
the regular instances faced by a teenager in a humorous manner.
Despite the name of the channel, his videos aren't actually in a
'vine' format, and are much longer.
5. How It All Started ?
# Bhuvan bought a new phone, Nexus, and in order to test its front camera he
recorded a funny video of his and uploaded it on his Facebook profile. The video
hardly got 15 views.
# Majority of his friends reacted to his videos in a negative way and told him that’
“Dude! This is all stupidity and people won’t accept it.”
# A random friend suggested him to create a separate Facebook page for this
purpose such that his personal profile isn’t affected. BB created a page and kept it’s
name randomly taking his name’s initials - ‘BB Ki Vines’.
# He then created a new video which showed a confusion in the meaning of a word
by his father. Luckily, that video went viral in some university in Karachi, Pakistan.
This moment gave BB an inner motivation to make more videos and go better.
# After the success of his first video on Facebook, he created a YouTube channel
for the same and with the same name. He kept on making videos and went on to
be popular among today’s youth.
6. # Since BB’s YouTube channel was growing rapidly and the content was adult, he
never knew that how would his parents react to it and how would he face them after
they got to know about this. Till now, he recorded all his videos without letting his
parents know about it at all.
# Feb 4, 2016, BB uploaded a video relating to Valentines’ issues. The very next
day, his mother’s office colleagues asked her, “Did you watch Bhuvan’s new
video?” At the first she was shocked about what her colleagues were talking about
as she was unaware of everything. But after watching the video, she quickly rang
her son and enquired him about the same.
# BB’s parents first disagreed with the same saying that, “you’re harming your
image and people won’t like it any further.” BB took them out to Sarojini Nagar
market and seeing public’s reaction he convinced his parents and asked his
parents to let him concentrate on this.
# Interruption of relatives in anything you do is complementary and the same
happened with BB. But, this time BB’s parents supported him saying, “He’s happy
doing whatever he is doing and doing that well.”
# After getting parents’ complete support, BB continued making more video and
today he is among India’s most popular youtubers.
7. Characters
BB all alone has played about 15 characters out of which 10 of
them are the ones which are regularly seen in his videos :-
#1 Bhuvan Bam – Bhuvan acting himself, is the main character
of BB Ki Vines and can be seen in all videos.
#2 Banchordas – He is the best friend of BB and can be heard
repeating first half oh his name after every
sentence in the video.
8. #3 Sameer Foodie – He was introduced as Banchordas’s cousin,
who has a pronunciation problem and is
very much inspired by his Grandfather.
Introduction of this character was one of
the main reason why BB Ki Vines went a
step ahead.
#4 Bablu Ji – BB’s father, a very innocent man who always gets
confused while having words with Bhuvan. He
secretly likes his neighbour Mrs. Verma.
#5 Mom – She is very cute and always says “Okay” in a
very adorable way.

by almost every student at least once. He is
featured in a series called “Angry Masterji”
which has a total of 9 parts till date.
#7 Mr. Hola – Bablu Ji’s colleague who often visits BB and tries
to harass him and his friends but Sameer Foodie
to the rescue. His very famous dialogue is,
“Hola, Bahar se bhola, andar se (proper patola).”
#8 Papa MKC – Banchordas’s father, a mafia from Dubai but to
show the world, he runs a small shop where
he sells umbrellas.
10. #9 Dr. Sehgal – This character is inspired from a real life
person, a doctor who owns a clinic just next to
BB’s house.
BB says, “Dr. Sehgal is actually a real doctor
whose clinic is right next to my house. I’ve had
many funny experiences with him but he is
nowhere similar to the on screen Dr. Sehgal. I
have just used his name and I feel guilty.
H-A-H-A-H-A!”
#10 Mrs. Verma – Bhuvan’s neighbour who has appeared
onscreen only once but can be regularly
seen talking to Bablu Ji on a telephonic
conversation.
12. Controversies
#1 Shiv Sena – Back in 2015 when India faced a lot bans on a
lot of things, Bhuvan Bam came up with an
uncensored song which contained obscene
language but it was based on the reality. It went
viral again and he received huge publicity. Shiv
Sena started threatening him via phone calls
and asked him to remove his video.
13. #2 Taher Shah – Taher Shah is a famous Pakistani Singer who sang the
famous song ‘Angel’. BB used a part of the song ‘Angel’
(copyrighted by Taher Shah) for 12 seconds in one of his
video. To this, Taher Shah reacted and using his status and
power he got BB’s video deleted at 2:00 a.m. from BB’s
Channel without sending him a prior notice.
The very next day BB made a lot of efforts to contact
Taher Shah, but after being unable to contact he made an
emotional video requesting his fans to make it up to
Taher Shah regarding BB’s deleted video and take back
his claim against it. Exactly after 10 minutes of uploading
the request video, BB got back his video which was
deleted by YouTube earlier from his channel.

19. " BB Ki Vines or Singing ? "
Bhuvan says :
# I prefer music because BB Ki Vines came
late into my life and music has been there
from a long time.
# As an artist I love to act as I’m not
conscious when the camera is on but music
has been there way before BB Ki Vines.
# I’m very music oriented and music will be
there throughout my life.
# BB Ki Vines is just an add-on to music and
I will continue it until I can.
