Ask anyone successful now about the toughest phase and they will always say it was making the first decision. The same is the story of Basant Jangra, who had a lot of conflicts clouding his decision to pursue a career in YouTube. He is an established YouTuber now but his rags to riches story are gut-wrenching and showcase the immense dedication displayed by a young boy from the small town of Haryana. Basant Jangra owns and manages three YouTube channels now, namely Basant Jangra, Basant Jangra Vlogs, and The BJ Team but still remembers the magnitude of efforts it took to become popular on YouTube.



Basant Jangra was an average kid with no access to great means or resources to expand his knowledge or skill. He had a linear goal of success, which was to get a job after graduating from college. But YouTube convinced him to be his boss and become financially robust while enjoying what he loves to do in life. The biggest challenge was obtaining the means to run a YouTube channel that involved a laptop and a reliable internet connection. Sure, it might seem irrelevant to many but for a financially strapped household, even these items were beyond the reach. He slowly accumulated money by doing grunt work and convinced his family about the stark career change decision. His family was skeptical about the future of Basant but his success quashed their doubts.

Basant Jangra is now deeply loved by the nation and overseas as well for his iconic pranks that you cannot even think of. His knack for prank videos has earned him over 2.7 million followers on YouTube alone and even his social media handles receive a lot of love and appreciation from his fans. Basant Jangra is also putting efforts into daily vlogs as his audience is yearning to know more about the famous YouTuber and the daily activities that made him so successful in life. Basant Jangra is content with his life and has a beautiful wife with a baby on the way. He never imagined settling so early in life but his wife convinced him that everything would be fine as long as he didn't lose focus.
