Funyaasi: From Bollywood movie parodies to TV Serial spoofs, Funyaasi is on a mission to spread smiles!
Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places: How ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam’ Led to Our Creative Breakthrough
What do you get by watching ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam’ for over 10 times in one go? Shubham and Dhruv found their answer when they discovered their passion for creating content while in the third year of their engineering college. Amidst all the assignment deadlines and exam pressure, they found their drive to create “internet par videos banana” (as their parents call it). It was the comedy and drama of Indian TV serials that first inspired them to create a funny parody video.
Funyaasi: Combining Fun and Passion to Build a Loyal Online Community
With Funyaasi, Shubham and Dhruv have built a brand that is a combination of “FUN” and “SANYAASI”, meaning that they have taken Sanyaas from everything else and are doing what they love the most, while also having fun. They create relatable, comedy videos that make people laugh and have built a loyal community of about 2 million people on social media, who they affectionately call their #FunyaasiFam.
The Power of Parody: How Spoofing Indian TV Serials Became Our Winning Formula
Parody videos based on Indian TV serials have been a key component of Funyaasi’s success. The characters they play, such as Prerna, Prem, and the vamp Sapolika, have found a special place in people’s hearts. Their videos have garnered love and appreciation from around the world, with people randomly coming up to them and telling them that they never used to watch TV serials before but eagerly wait for the next part of their parody videos. They never imagined that “getting locked inside a suitcase and traveling to the USA” or “making namak wali chai” would bring so much joy into people’s lives.
