Did Bhuvan Bam get plastic surgery? Here's what he said on Reddit
Known for his sharp wit and creative content, Bhuvan Bam is no stranger to the spotlight. But recently, it wasn't his humour that had fans talking, it was his drastic transformation. The sudden change sparked rumours of plastic surgery. Addressing the speculation head-on, the YouTuber took to Reddit to clear the air. Here's what he had to say.
Did Bhuvan Bam get plastic surgery?
Taking to Reddit, a social media user shared Bhuvan's latest photos and wrote, 'So did he underwent any procedure? He looks very different nowadays. Please don't say it's diet and aging. Hahaha, don't make us a fool.'
Reacting to this, many felt that he did undergo surgery and his fans said that he just worked out well and cut off his beard.
Bhuvan Bam reacts to plastic surgery rumours
Surprisingly, Bhuvan himself reacted to the Reddit thread and clarified that he did not go under the knife.
Bhuvan Bam addressed the plastic surgery rumours with his signature humor, saying he thoroughly enjoyed reading all the comments about his alleged 'surgery.' He admitted that even he was surprised by the change in his facial structure, joking that it almost looked like he'd gone under the knife. Setting the record straight, he explained that the transformation was purely the result of consistent fitness i.e. 60 minutes of cardio, an hour of strength training, and a strict diet. 'It does wonders, trust me,' he remarked. Bhuvan also noted that one of the photos being compared was nearly ten years old, adding that it's only natural for appearances to evolve over time.
He added, 'A few weeks ago, I underwent a lip surgery because of a painful boil also known as 'mucocele'. It had to be removed because I've been prepping up for a show and had to be in a certain look'

Hollywood's worst-kept secret?
– the most prolific Hollywood director with over 150 movies listed on IMDB – has been trending on X and online forums such as Reddit in recent weeks. But what's so special about him? Who is Alan Smithee? No one. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now You read that right. Alan Smithee doesn't exist, never did. It's just a pseudonym Hollywood uses when someone isn't happy with how a project turns out and doesn't want a credit. The pseudonym was born in 1968 as a direct result of a Directors Guild of America (DGA) rule: No film can be released without a director credit. And the western, Death of a Gunfighter , posed just that problem. The original director, Robert Totten, had a fall out with lead actor Richard Widmark during the shoot, and was replaced by Don Siegel. But though Siegel finished the film, he refused to take credit as the director, as the film clearly bore Totten's signature. The DGCA recommended a solution – the use of a pseudonym. And the rest is history. Why is Smithee trending? In the age of internet detectives, pseudonyms in Hollywood have turned into Easter eggs. Communities on Reddit analyse end credits and copyright filings to reveal which top directors might be hiding behind unusual names. Current recommendations for such disputed projects include 'Thomas Lee', which was first used for Supernova . A recent article highlighted the extensive use of 'Alan Smithee' credit in various films, including alternate versions of Scent of a Woman and Heat . This has sparked discussions among film enthusiasts and social media users about the pseudonym's legacy and the circumstances under which it was employed. Handles like @AlanSmithee1987 and @Smithee_directs has contributed to the trend, often sharing content related to film culture, satire, and commentary, keeping the conversation about 'Alan Smithee' alive. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What this means in the streaming era In today's content-saturated market, with the changing definitions of a 'big-budget studio', directors are frequently hired, and replaced, as 'service providers' rather than as auteurs. Studios and platforms often exert more editorial control, sidelining directors during post-production. This creates a possibility of directors wanting to distance themselves, especially if a show is recut or reshot by the platform. For fans, it is all about finding that Easter egg of pseudonyms through the deepest online dive possible. The end? The pseudonym was over-publicised, ruining its reputation. Films credited with it were automatically considered bad and that made it difficult for studio bosses to find successful distribution. The DGA drew the line. The union 'retired' its official pseudonym recommendation in 2000. But it seems like Hollywood isn't ready to retire it even now, with Alan getting umpteen credits in between, and has more in the offing. Fun fact: Alan Smithee has 415 credits listed on IMDB, including 149 director credits for past productions and four for upcoming ones, 61 credits as actors, 42 as writer, 36 as producer and 13 as composer. It's all over the place, spread across 24 categories Fun fact: Smithee even fooled well-known film critic Roger Ebert, who wrote a positive review of Death of a Gunfighter , saying, 'Director Allen Smithee, a name I'm not familiar with, allows his story to unfold naturally.' Fun fact: In the 1997 mockumentary An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn , a filmmaker, Alan Smithee (Eric Idle) wants to have his name removed from the credits of the final product. This isn't easy, because his real name is the official pseudonym for such cases. That's the storyline, but then there's the twist. The film's actual director, Arthur Hiller, wasn't satisfied with its final cut, and so…. Fun fact: Among Hollywood A-listers, Steven Soderbergh has used pseudonyms most prolifically, maintaining distinct creative personas for different roles, especially within the same project. He's known to have used 'Peter Andrews' as a pseudonym for his role as a cinematographer and 'Mary Ann Bernard' for his work as an editor. The Coen Brothers have occasionally credited themselves under aliases like 'Roderick Jaynes' for editing work. The G.O.A.T Smithee: The pseudonym has been used since 1968 by several directors, including David Lynch, and has come to signify a bad film. In more recent years, Evil Dead and Spider-Man creator Sam Raimi and his elder brother wrote the screenplay for 1992 film The Nutt House as Alan Smithee Junior and Alan Smithee Senior. For the TV cut of Dune (1984), David Lynch disowned the extended television cut of his sci-fi epic, not the theatrical version. He used the credits 'Directed by Alan Smithee'/ Written by 'Judas Booth' (a jab at betrayal, like Judas and John Wilkes Booth). Famous Hollywood Pseudonyms Stephen Greene – Accidental Love (2015); disowned by David O. Russell Thomas Lee – Supernova (2000); disowned by Walter Hill and completed by other directors, including Francis Ford Coppola Ernie Fusco – Highball (1997); disowned by Noah Baumbach Jan Jensen – Showgirls (1995, TV Edit); disowned by Paul Verhoeven

NB.1.8.1 Covid-19 variant makes up 10% cases globally: Should you worry?
Just when many believed Covid-19 was in the rear-view mirror, a new variant has quietly gained ground. NB.1.8.1, first detected in China in January 2025, now accounts for one in ten Covid-19 cases globally—up from just one in forty a month ago. It has spread across twenty-two countries so far. What is NB.1.8.1 variant? According to the World Health Organization, NB.1.8.1 is among several fast-evolving Omicron-lineage variants. From January to May 2025, global dominance shifted from XEC to LP.8.1, with NB.1.8.1 now surging rapidly. The WHO has classified NB.1.8.1 as a Variant Under Monitoring due to its rise in prevalence and potential public health implications. Officials stress that while vigilance is crucial, there is no cause for alarm. Vaccination remains the best protection against severe illness and death. How NB.1.8.1 behaves and how severe it really is NB.1.8.1 is a sublineage of the Omicron JN.1 family. It carries similar characteristics—high transmissibility, but mostly mild to moderate illness. It also includes new mutations on the spike protein, which may enhance its ability to spread and evade immunity. So far, there is no evidence to suggest NB.1.8.1 causes more severe disease, hospitalisations or death compared to previous variants. NB.1.8.1 symptoms: What to watch for Common symptoms include: Dry, persistent cough Runny or blocked nose Fatigue and general body aches Sore throat Fever or chills Headache or hoarseness in some cases Many report being able to go about daily activities but feel unusually tired and sluggish. Are vaccines still effective against NB.1.8.1? Updated vaccines, including the latest Omicron-targeted boosters, are designed to protect against the JN.1 family. While they may not prevent all infections, they continue to reduce the risk of hospitalisation and severe outcomes. Expert guidance includes: If you are over sixty, have chronic health conditions or are immunocompromised, get a booster if it has been more than six months since your last dose If you are healthy and under sixty, no new dose is required at present Use masks in public transport and crowded indoor spaces How to manage NB.1.8.1 symptoms at home In most cases, NB.1.8.1 does not require hospitalisation. Here is what helps: Rest and stay well hydrated Use paracetamol or other over-the-counter medications for fever or aches Recovery generally takes five to seven days If you are elderly or immunocompromised, speak to your doctor early. Antiviral medication is most effective within five days of the onset of symptoms. Warning signs: When to seek emergency help Seek urgent medical care if you experience any of the following: Difficulty breathing Chest pain or tightness Confusion or trouble staying awake Severe dizziness or fainting Do not panic, but stay informed Experts believe NB.1.8.1 will follow a familiar seasonal pattern seen with earlier variants—periodic surges during winter and summer months. Most infections remain mild. Vaccines continue to work. Keep an eye on symptoms, isolate if unwell, and consult your doctor when in doubt.

There are currently 5,364 active reported Covid cases in India with four fresh deaths that have been reported in the last 24 hours. Although official sources have affirmed that most cases are mild and managed under home care, the government is taking steps to ensure preparedness against the disease by conducting mock drills after the information was provided by the ministry. All states have been instructed to ensure availability of oxygen, isolation beds, ventilators, and essential medicines after the rise in Covid cases. Since January this year, 55 covid related deaths have been reported in the country. There were a total of 257 active patients in the country on May 22, 2025. A series of technical review meetings were held on June 2 and 3 under chairpersonship of Dr Sunita Sharma, Director General of Health Services (DGHS). She was accompanied by representatives of Disaster Management Cell, Emergency Management Response (EMR) Cell, National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) and Central Government Hospitals in Delhi. Representatives from all states and union territories also presided over the meetings to keep a check on the current COVID-19 situation and relief measures, and ensure that there are no lapses in dealing with the rising cases. The state and district surveillance units under IDSP are also closely monitoring cases under Influenza Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI), official sources said on June 4. "Testing is recommended for all admitted SARI cases and 5 per cent of ILI cases as per guidelines. Positive SARI samples are sent for Whole Genome Sequencing through the ICMR VRDL network," an official source affirmed.
