Amit Bhadana ((1994-09-07)September 7, 1994) is an Indian YouTuber, comedian, writer and actor known for his clean, desi-flavoured Hindi comedy sketches about small-town North Indian life.

He was the first individual Indian YouTuber to cross 20 million subscribers, and in 2025 he became the first Indian YouTuber to sign a theatrical film as a lead actor.

Early life and education

Bhadana was born on 7 September 1994 in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, and was brought up in Delhi, where his family moved to Johri Pur.

Raised in a middle-class household, he was the funny kid in college — friends at Satyawati College, Delhi University, kept telling him he should do comedy.

He went on to earn a law degree (LL.B.) from the University of Delhi, but the courtroom never stood a chance against his instinct to make people laugh.

He has said that for a middle-class boy, the hardest part was telling his family he could not do a 9-to-5 job and had to follow his passion instead.

Career

From Facebook dubs to YouTube sketches

Bhadana created his YouTube channel in 2012 but found his first audience elsewhere: during his college days he posted funny dubbing and mimicry videos on Facebook, and his friends' encouragement pushed him to start a dedicated page.

His jackpot moment came in 2015, when he heard Adele's "Hello" and had the idea of filming a funny desi response video to the song. Posted on his Facebook page, it went viral — followed quickly by another instant hit, a video of him dubbing Eminem.

Encouraged by the response, he moved to original scripted comedy on YouTube in 2017, writing and performing multi-character sketches drawn from the world he knew.

His material came straight from home turf — school corridors, mohalla friendships, overbearing relatives and the clash between village roots and city dreams.

Clean comedy and the 2018 breakthrough

What set him apart in a crowded comedy scene was discipline. Bhadana has never used abusive language in his videos, deliberately making family-friendly content with a middle-class desi heart that parents, grandparents and teenagers could all watch together.

He has described his goal simply: content that motivates people as well as makes them laugh.

His advice to aspiring creators has stayed consistent: be original.

2018 was his coronation year. His video "Behan Bhai Ki School Life" reached #9 on YouTube's global top trending videos list, and with 11.8 million subscribers he was ranked the top Indian creator of the year — ahead of BB Ki Vines, Technical Guruji and Sandeep Maheshwari.

The 20-million milestone

In May 2020 Bhadana became the first individual Indian YouTuber to cross 20 million subscribers, celebrating the milestone live with fans and a tricolour in hand.

He marked the moment the way he does everything — by working. During the lockdown he released a run of longer-form sketches including "Jaanu Ka Janamdin" and "Kisse Behen Bhai Ke".

"Berozgaar Bachelors", a story about unemployed young men in rented flats, became one of his most-loved works — a subject he has called especially close to his heart.

Each production, from scripting to post-production, takes his team up to three weeks. The lockdown constraint of shooting inside homes with two or three artistes pushed him toward the family stories that defined that phase of his career.

Bollywood collaborations and brand deals

Bhadana's clean image made him a favourite for brand and film collaborations. He has shot comedy videos with Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn.

He has spoken of wanting to work with Amitabh Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Rajpal Yadav, Johnny Lever and Paresh Rawal — "all the legendary artistes", from whose experience he wants to learn.

In December 2020 the esports and mobile gaming platform Mobile Premier League roped him in as brand ambassador to drive its engagement on YouTube, noting his strong connection with his audience.

The big screen

In June 2025 he made history again, signing with Saregama to headline a theatrical film — the first Indian YouTuber to carry a cinema release as the lead actor.

The announcement came with his trademark line: "YouTube se seedha theatre ki film, woh bhi lead role mein".

The deal was multi-vertical, covering films, music, live shows and brand collaborations — taking him beyond the screen to stages and concert venues.

He had already been testing longer formats with web series and short films such as Bitiya Rani, Berozgaar Bachelors and LLB, and released music including the rap "Parichay" and a collaboration with Badshah.

Despite the scale of his fame, Bhadana has kept his persona deliberately grounded — the boy from Johri Pur whose mother, he jokes, still sends him out to fetch milk.
