Bhuvan Bam mistaken for pickpocket by Delhi police during shopping trip

Indian content creator Bhuvan Bam recalled being mistaken for a pickpocket by police during a shopping trip in Delhi, an incident that led his mother to witness his popularity firsthand. The misunderstanding occurred early in his YouTube career while he was with his mother at Sarojini Nagar. Bam had convinced his parents to give him two years to pursue YouTube instead of a conventional job, a gamble that paid off as his channel BB Ki Vines gained traction. During the outing, a crowd gathered around him, prompting police to grab him by the collar and ask if he had stolen something, likely due to his long hair and bandana. After showing officers his videos to prove his identity, the crowd chanting his name helped resolve the situation. His mother smiled on the ride home, seeing the impact of his work. Bam now stars in the period drama 'The Revolutionaries', premiering September 11, 2026.
