Ranveer Allahbadia gets his YouTube account back, shares humorous anecdotes

MUMBAI: Renowned Indian YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, better known by his username ‘BeerBiceps’, has reclaimed his two popular YouTube channels after a late-night hack on Wednesday.

According to Indian media reports, the breach occurred around 11:30 PM local time during which all his videos from both channels were deleted and the accounts were renamed with titles containing words like ‘Elon’, ‘Trump’ and ‘Tesla’.

When looked up with the username, the viewers got the “404 not found” error message. Subsequently, YouTube temporarily took down both channels as well.

However, thanks to Allahbadia’s quick action along with reports from his followers, it did not take long for the situation to be resolved. As per latest reports, Allahbadia has gotten both his channels back and the videos have also begun to be restored with their original content intact.

However, there are still some technical glitches, like the “Home” sections of both channels showing the message, “This channel doesn’t have any content”.

‘THE RETURN OF BEERBICEPS’ AND ‘THE RANVEER SHOW’

The Ranveer Allahbadia channel boasts impressive 9.4 million subscribers and 111 videos. One of the more popular contents on this channel is The Ranveer Show (TRS) – a Hindi podcast, known for featuring an eclectic mix of Bollywood stars, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders.

Allahbadia’s other YouTube venture, BeerBiceps, is also back with its 280 videos intact. However, the name of the channel continues to say “@MyChannel-e4p.” Allahbadia launched this account as a fitness channel but then later evolved it to cover everything from entrepreneurship to self-improvement.

RANVEER ALLAHBADIA’S REACTION

Allahbadia took to Instagram to address the hacking incident and to respond to some reports that it was an intentional fiasco to gain more traction. Staying true to his light-hearted style, he posted an Instagram story in a cat-eye mask, playfully asking, “Is this the end of my YouTube career?”

He followed it up with another story from Singapore’s Changi Airport, enjoying a plate of vegan burgers and fries, cheekily captioning it, “Death of BeerBiceps met with death of diet.”

He also posted some reaction videos including one in which he is dramatically running into the woods, saying, “Me after seeing that my channel got hacked.” He later reassured fans with the message, “No jokes, no PR. Working on next steps,” concluding with a philosophical note about life’s unexpected challenges.
