Anubhav Singh Bassi is one of the most popular and successful comedians in India. He became popular after a comedy routine of his went viral on YouTube and that makes people think that Bassi became a star overnight. However, not many know that Anubhav had to leave a well paying job against the wishes of his family in order to work on his dream.

Talking about the same, he told IANS, "Only my sister knew I had left the job and started my career in comedy. After 6-7 months I told my parents, and my father could not understand this profession and hoped that after a few days I will leave this and join a regular job. I don’t know why but he had this notion fed to his mind that if one has studied in a good college he will end up with a good job. But who will tell him that I did not learn anything in the 5 years of college?”

He concluded, “After all the trial and error, I decided to make videos and upload them and started earning enough money to take care of my own livelihood in Delhi. Initially, my parents were a little hesitant when they got to know what I started doing but with time I started earning well with the stand-up, and with that my father never questioned my profession."
