The group's roast specials under the AIB banner marked a commercial pivot; the inaugural event in December 2014, targeting actors and , was filmed live and released online in January 2015, generating buzz through unfiltered celebrity takedowns and setting a template for paid, ticketed events. Subsequent roasts, including those of , expanded the series into a revenue-generating format blending live attendance with video monetization. Commercially, AIB leveraged high viewership—often exceeding 4 million per major video—for ad revenue and integrated sponsorships, such as those from platforms embedded in sketches. Live tours like Bakchod Firkay supplemented income through ticket sales across Indian cities, while brand collaborations sustained production amid growing operational costs. This model positioned AIB as a pioneer in India's digital comedy economy, transitioning from bootstrapped content to a structured registered in 2015, though exact financials remained private.

Roasts, satire, and public reception

All India Bakchod (AIB), co-founded by Tanmay Bhat, popularized the roast format in Indian comedy through events like the "AIB Knockout," a live roast of actors and hosted by filmmaker on January 28, 2015. The 54-minute video, uploaded to , featured explicit language and jokes targeting the participants' personal lives, careers, and relationships, drawing over 7 million views within days and introducing Western-style celebrity roasts—modeled after formats—to a broader Indian audience.

Public reception was polarized: the roasts and satires earned praise for their boldness and role in modernizing Indian comedy, with international outlets noting AIB's influence on a new generation less bound by . However, the sparked backlash from moral watchdogs and political figures, leading to police complaints in on March 3, 2015, alleging obscenity and hurt sentiments under sections for promoting enmity and outraging religious feelings. The controversy prompted AIB to remove the video, cancel a planned live tour on March 4, 2015, and halt uploads until April 11, 2015, when they released a defense video urging fans to resist online outrage. Critics from traditionalist circles decried the vulgarity as culturally corrosive, while supporters argued it highlighted India's free speech tensions, though AIB members later reflected that the fallout inadvertently boosted their pivot to structured .

Dissolution amid internal issues

In October 2018, amid India's , (AIB) faced allegations that CEO Tanmay Bhat had been informed of sexual misconduct complaints against frequent collaborator , including soliciting explicit images from women and a minor, but failed to act despite reports reaching him on at least two occasions. Concurrently, co-founder Gursimran Khamba faced direct accusations of from a female colleague at AIB. On October 8, 2018, AIB issued a statement announcing Bhat's decision to step away from all association with the company and Khamba's placement on indefinite leave pending an internal investigation, emphasizing the need to address the complaints seriously. These developments triggered an operational halt at AIB, with the company firing its entire staff of approximately 20 employees and discontinuing all projects linked to and Khamba. The internal probe into Khamba's case concluded without finding sufficient evidence for further action against him at the time, but the fallout eroded trust among remaining members and stakeholders, exacerbating financial strains from paused content production and sponsorship losses.

On May 23, 2019, Bhat publicly acknowledged his removal as CEO and issued an apology, stating that the hardest aspect was confronting his own leadership failures in handling the allegations, while expressing clinical depression and paralysis in moving forward. AIB simultaneously terminated Khamba's association and declared its YouTube channel inactive for the foreseeable future, marking the end of the group's collaborative output after nearly a decade. The dissolution stemmed primarily from these internal accountability lapses rather than creative or financial disputes alone, though the company had already been navigating revenue challenges from shifting digital ad markets.

Advertising scripts and collaborations

Following the dissolution of All India Bakchod in 2018, Bhat pivoted to independent advertising scriptwriting, beginning seriously during the 2020 lockdown with campaigns emphasizing humor and cultural relevance. His scripts often feature celebrity cameos and satirical takes on consumer behavior, contributing to viral success for brands like CRED, where he co-wrote a series starting with ads featuring and later , , , and , launched around 2020-2021 to promote payments. In July 2023, Bhat co-founded the content studio Moonshot with writer Devaiah Bopanna, focusing on ad scripts and production for startups and established brands.

Podcasting, judging, and guest appearances

Bhat co-hosted the All India Bakchod (AIB) , launched in 2012 as India's first fortnightly news and comedy program, alongside Gursimran Khamba, featuring satirical discussions on current events and pop culture with guest comedians.

Major controversies

Political and celebrity satire backlashes

In May 2016, Tanmay Bhat posted a Snapchat video using the platform's face-swap feature to depict a mock conversation between cricket legend and playback singer , both portrayed by Bhat himself. The content included expletives, derogatory references to aging, and queries about death, framed as satirical banter.

Political groups amplified the backlash, with (MNS), led by , threatening physical action against Bhat and demanding his apology or punishment. also condemned the video, uniting typically rival parties in calls for content bans, leading police to consult legal experts on blocking it via and . Bhat defended the as protected speech, arguing it targeted irrelevance rather than individuals, but faced boycott demands from celebrities and advertisers, highlighting tensions between comedy and reverence for public figures in . Earlier, Bhat's involvement in (AIB) roasts, such as the 2015 AIB Knockout featuring celebrities like and , sparked similar outrage over vulgar jokes targeting personal traits, including skin color references to 's then-girlfriend Arpita Khan. The event's unedited footage was withheld from online release amid threats from moral vigilantes and industry figures, with reports of warning Bhat over the content, underscoring celebrity sensitivities to roast-style . These incidents illustrated recurring patterns where Bhat's celebrity-targeted humor intersected with political mobilization, often resulting in legal probes and pressures rather than formal convictions. In October 2018, amid India's #MeToo movement, Tanmay Bhat, as CEO of All India Bakchod (AIB), faced public criticism for his prior knowledge of sexual harassment allegations against frequent collaborator Utsav Chakraborty, without taking decisive action to sever ties or involve authorities. A female accuser detailed that Chakraborty had sent her unsolicited explicit images and engaged in persistent harassment starting in 2015; Bhat was informed of these specifics in 2017 but responded by privately confronting Chakraborty, an approach that reportedly prompted Chakraborty to contact the accuser again, exacerbating the situation, while Bhat continued professional engagements with him, including joint videos and tours. Critics, including former associates and online commentators, accused Bhat of enabling misconduct through inaction and prioritizing business relationships over victim support, though no direct claims of personal sexual harassment were leveled against Bhat himself. AIB responded on October 5, 2018, acknowledging Bhat's awareness of the complaints and stating that his private handling had unintended negative consequences; Bhat issued a personal apology the same day, admitting he had "failed" by not doing more. On , AIB announced Bhat would step away from the company indefinitely, citing his role in the oversight, while co-founder Gursimran Khamba, facing separate direct misconduct allegations, was placed on indefinite leave. By May 23, 2019, after an internal review, AIB lifted Bhat's suspension but permanently removed him as CEO, terminated Khamba's association, fired remaining staff, and declared its YouTube channel defunct, effectively dissolving operations due to financial strain and reputational damage from the scandals. Bhat publicly apologized again, expressing regret for inadequate responses to the allegations and committing to personal accountability. No criminal charges or police summons were reported against Bhat personally, in contrast to Chakraborty, who faced formal complaints under laws against sexual harassment and electronic transmission of obscene material. In the following months, Bhat disclosed experiencing clinical depression and professional paralysis, attributing it partly to the fallout, including lost endorsements and public scrutiny, though he resumed independent comedy work by mid-2019 without further legal entanglements. The episode highlighted internal accountability gaps in India's comedy industry but drew mixed reactions, with some viewing Bhat's demotion as sufficient resolution absent direct culpability, while others argued for broader industry reforms on handling complaints.

Personal life and recent updates

Relationships and privacy

Tanmay Bhat has historically kept details of his romantic life out of the public eye, sharing little beyond occasional humorous deflections in posts and vlogs. He has been romantically linked to fellow comedian and Rega Jha, former editor-in-chief of , though these associations remain unconfirmed by Bhat himself and appear to stem from professional overlaps in the and media circuits. Public mentions of marriage or partnerships by Bhat, such as a 2017 Instagram post claiming a wedding to comedian in New York City's Central Park, were staged pranks intended for comedic effect, drawing crowds under the pretense of a fan meet-and-greet. Similar lighthearted announcements, including a 2021 vlog titled "I GOT MARRIED" and references to relationships with non-romantic figures like friends or collaborators, underscore his tendency to use satire rather than reveal genuine personal commitments. Surka, a frequent collaborator in comedy sketches and charity streams, shares a platonic professional bond with Bhat, with no substantiated romantic history despite online speculation. As of October 2025, Bhat remains unmarried with no verified current partner or family beyond his parents and , whom he occasionally references in content focused on his upbringing in a middle-class Kannada Brahmin household in . This reticence aligns with his broader approach to amid high-profile controversies, prioritizing professional output over personal disclosures and avoiding the tabloid scrutiny common among Indian entertainers. Rumors of recent links, such as to actress , arise from casual social interactions rather than evidence of romance.

Health transformations and lifestyle

In 2024 and 2025, Tanmay Bhat achieved a dramatic of over 50 kilograms, transforming from a reported peak of around 168 kilograms to approximately 110 kilograms through sustained dietary discipline, exercise, and habit shifts. This change was gradual, emphasizing caloric deficits, fasted cardio sessions to enhance oxidation, and resistance for muscle preservation and metabolic boost. Bhat's approach integrated non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), such as increased daily movement, alongside gym routines and sports like playing football, to elevate overall energy expenditure without relying solely on intense workouts. He advocated mental strategies to sustain progress, including rejecting excuses tied to stress or social pressures, fostering accountability through small weekly calorie reductions (e.g., 200 calories per day), and prioritizing consistency over rapid fixes. These elements, drawn from fitness coaching insights, underscored a holistic lifestyle overhaul rather than short-term diets, with Bhat publicly sharing tips on platforms to highlight long-term adherence. Parallel to physical changes, Bhat addressed challenges, revealing in 2019 that he had been grappling with clinical depression following professional setbacks, including fears of permanent creative paralysis. By the mid-2020s, his recovery aligned with renewed professional output and the weight loss discipline, suggesting intertwined improvements in emotional resilience and daily routines, though he has not detailed specific therapeutic interventions publicly. This phase marked a shift toward in personal matters, with Bhat focusing on health as a foundation for sustained career resilience.

Financial achievements and public persona

Tanmay Bhat derives substantial financial success from digital content creation, primarily through ad revenue, channel memberships, brand endorsements, and live stream contributions. His main and secondary channels collectively exceed 5.2 million subscribers and generate income from comedy sketches, roasts, and commentary videos that attract millions of views. Reports in October 2025 estimated his at ₹665 , labeling him India's richest based on earnings from the , though Bhat publicly dismissed the figure as exaggerated in a humorous response stating "Itne paise hote toh..." (If I had that much money...). Independent assessments suggest his wealth likely surpasses ₹100 , reflecting diversified revenue from pre-controversy ventures like productions and subsequent solo projects. Bhat's public persona embodies the archetype of the unfiltered Indian comedian-entrepreneur, characterized by sharp wit, satirical edge, and a willingness to provoke discourse on social and political issues. Self-described on social media as a "Comedian, YouTuber, Entrepreneur," he projects resilience amid career setbacks, maintaining a large following of over 2 million on Instagram where he shares personal updates and professional insights. In recent years, his image has shifted toward embodying personal reinvention, highlighted by a documented weight loss of over 50 kilograms through rigorous diet and exercise, which he detailed publicly as the "quickest fat loss" via metabolic adjustments and consistency. This transformation, showcased in August 2025 vacation photos from London, elicited widespread admiration online, with netizens praising his discipline and dubbing it an inspiring "glow-up." Despite past controversies, Bhat's persona resonates as that of a candid truth-teller in comedy, prioritizing audience engagement over conventional appeal.

Impact and critical assessment

Contributions to Indian comedy

Tanmay Bhat achieved an early breakthrough in Indian stand-up comedy by winning the Weirdass Ham-ateur Night national competition organized by Vir Das in Mumbai in 2009. This success enabled him to join the Weirdass Comedy writing team and perform as an opener for Vir Das's tour Walking on Broken Das. As part of the inaugural wave of English-language stand-up performers in India, Bhat helped expand the medium beyond regional languages and traditional formats. In 2012, Bhat co-founded the comedy collective (AIB) alongside Gursimran Khamba, launching it as a featuring satirical commentary on and societal behaviors. AIB transitioned to video sketches in 2013, producing irreverent content that attracted millions of views and introduced formats like celebrity roasts to mainstream Indian audiences. The 2015 AIB Roast of and , despite subsequent backlash, demonstrated the viability of live roast events and amplified discussions on comedic boundaries in the country. Bhat co-hosted , a digital series that ran from 2015 to 2018, satirizing current events through scripted sketches and commentary. Through AIB's ventures, Bhat played a key role in digitizing consumption in , shifting focus from television to online platforms and nurturing a for emerging stand-up talents. His efforts in scripting award shows, including the , further bridged with mainstream entertainment.

Criticisms and free speech debates

Tanmay Bhat has faced significant criticism for content perceived as disrespectful to national icons and cultural sensitivities, igniting debates on the limits of free speech in Indian comedy. In May 2016, Bhat uploaded a Snapchat video using the app's face-swap feature to depict an aged Sachin Tendulkar arguing with an aged Lata Mangeshkar, portraying them in a profane exchange questioning each other's relevance and achievements. The video, intended as satire, drew immediate backlash from politicians, celebrities, and the public, with Bharatiya Janata Party leaders accusing Bhat of insulting revered figures and demanding its removal along with an apology. Mumbai police registered complaints and investigated under sections related to hurting religious sentiments and defamation, though no charges were ultimately filed after Bhat deleted the video and issued a public apology on June 4, 2016, while maintaining it was meant as humor. The incident amplified broader discussions on in Indian entertainment, with critics arguing that Bhat's content exemplified the misuse of to demean icons, potentially eroding cultural respect in a diverse . Supporters, including free speech advocates, contended that demands for bans and investigations stifled 's role in challenging authority, invoking the as the controversy boosted the video's visibility to millions despite deletion efforts. Bhat himself defended the boundaries of humor in subsequent statements, emphasizing that inherently risks offense but should not be curtailed by subjective sentiments, a view echoed in analyses of India's evolving stand-up scene where performers like him test legal and social red lines. Related scrutiny arose from Bhat's involvement in the 2015 All India Bakchod (AIB) Knockout roast, which faced obscenity complaints leading to FIRs quashed by the Supreme Court in 2018, highlighting systemic pressures on satirical content amid India's Information Technology Act provisions. Critics from conservative quarters have accused Bhat of selective irreverence, often targeting Hindu figures or right-leaning politics while sparing others, framing his work as ideologically biased rather than neutral satire. In response to later controversies involving peers, such as the 2025 backlash against comedian Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent, Bhat reiterated in public commentary that comedy defies judgment by external standards, positioning himself as a proponent of unrestricted expression despite personal costs like lost endorsements and public shaming. These episodes underscore ongoing tensions in India, where empirical data from comedian arrests and content takedowns reveal a chilling effect, yet Bhat's resilience—evidenced by sustained career output—demonstrates comedy's adaptive push against such constraints.

Long-term influence and resilience

Tanmay Bhat's co-founding of (AIB) in the early 2010s played a pivotal role in popularizing English-language and stand-up in , shifting the medium from traditional to digital platforms and inspiring a wave of urban comedians. Through AIB's viral videos, which amassed millions of views, Bhat helped normalize irreverent satire targeting celebrities and social norms, laying groundwork for the where comedians monetize directly via and collaborations rather than broadcast deals. His early advocacy for stand-up formats, starting from open mics around 2009, elevated the genre from niche performances to mainstream events, influencing subsequent acts by emphasizing punchy, observational humor over scripted sketches. Following the 2017 dissolution of AIB amid backlash from roasts and the 2018 #MeToo allegations—which Bhat denied and which did not result in formal charges— he experienced severe mental health challenges, describing himself in July 2019 as feeling "paralyzed and clinically depressed" and withdrawing from social engagements. Demonstrating resilience, Bhat rebuilt his career independently, launching a personal YouTube channel focused on comedy, podcasts, and commentary, which by 2022 had established him as a key figure in digital content amid platform algorithm shifts. This pivot included scripting viral advertisements and mentoring emerging creators, transitioning from performer to equity-based entrepreneur by investing in startups and creative studios that support top YouTubers. By 2025, Bhat's diversified portfolio—as an angel investor in six consumer and retail-focused companies and a for high-profile campaigns—underscores his adaptation to industry changes, with reports estimating his net worth at ₹665 from content equity and endorsements, though he has downplayed such figures as exaggerated. His ongoing involvement, including guest judging episodes of the show India's Got Latent and collaborations with peers like , reflects sustained relevance in a comedy landscape he helped professionalize, prioritizing adaptability over controversy-driven fame.
