Bhuvan Bam Opens Up on Masculinity and Struggles on Yuvaa's Be A Man Yaar
In a show dedicated to promoting masculine positivity, Yuvaa has created a safe space for men to express their emotions and vulnerabilities through in-depth conversations with Nikhil Taneja. In a particularly emotional episode, Bhuvan Bam, the actor and digital content creator known for 'BB Ki Vines,' opens up about his struggles, rejections in Bollywood, and personal life.
Discussing the rejections he faced in the industry, Bhuvan Bam stated, “Rejection is a part of this thing that we are in. Rejection nahi hoga toh kaise hoga phir.” He elaborated on the hierarchical system in Bollywood, explaining, “Yeh hierarchy system bada crazy hai idhar. Aapko tab pucha jayega jab aapke upar wale mana kar denge.. Tab aap pe baat aayegi. Jitna jaldi ye realise kar lo utna sahi hai. The world doesn’t revolve around you. You only have to chase and you only have to find opportunities for yourself. Cannot just sit at home and expect ki aata hi hoga call. Nahi aayega kabhi. It’s never gonna come. We have to find a way.”
Reflecting on his ongoing struggles to stay relevant in the industry, Bhuvan shared, “Yeh jo bolte hain na ki ab ja kar struggle khatam hua hai, maine kaha bhai jhooth hai ye. Struggle kabhi khatam nahi hota hai. Aap jaane jate ho apne peechle kaam ki wajah se, wo bhi galat hai. Aapko wo janwane ke liye bhi bohot haath paer marne padhte hain. Kya mujhe aisa karna cahiye? Over toh nahi ho jaega? Kya unko ye toh nahi lagega ki mauke ki talash mein hoon? Hoon na mauke ki talash mein isliye toh aaya hoon yahan pe ghar chhod kar apna, kaam karne. So I think haan, it's not an easy, hunky dory situation.”
When asked by Nikhil how he managed to let go of his ego despite his fame and following, Bhuvan responded, “Yeh develop hua hai in life kaafi sare rejections ke baad, kaafi saare ‘tere baski nahi hai’ ke baad. Aap us hi chaar diwari mein video banao. Ruko! Dhindhora banaya! Try karna bohot zaruri hai, aap try hi nahi karoge toh kaise chalega? Agar mai uske bharose baitha rehta toh mai abhi tak banata rehta us room mein videos! Itna miss karta hoon videos banana par wo videos se nahi dega koi mujhe film, is liye maine Dhindhora banaya, to tell people that look I have it in me, I just have to polish my talent a little more. Aap kisi ko mauka hi nahi doge toh kaise change laoge?”
In this personal and raw episode, Bhuvan also touched on his relationship with his parents, his family’s struggle with alcoholism, his father’s brain stroke, his challenging upbringing, and his long-term, stable relationship since the 4th grade. He shared how he keeps his relationship fresh after so many years, why he started BB Vines production, and his future plans. Bhuvan revealed that he will be starring in a film next year, alongside working on the second seasons of 'Dhindora' and 'Taaza Khabar.'
