Starting out as a content creator is often a long, uncertain journey. Most people upload videos for months—sometimes years—before finding an audience. But occasionally, the internet surprises everyone. For Vinod Kumar Sharma, that moment arrived almost instantly.
A video featuring the 70-year-old from Uttar Pradesh recently went viral across social media platforms. In the clip, Vinod introduces himself with humility and confidence, sharing that he is creating his very first vlog simply to spend his time meaningfully—even though he admits he doesn’t really know how vlogging works.
His honest, unpolished introduction struck a chord. Within just 24 hours, the video crossed 18 million views, with users praising his courage, warmth, and positivity. Many viewers said the video made them smile, while others admired his willingness to try something new at an age when most people hesitate to begin again.
Television actor Jay Bhanushali also reacted to the clip, commenting that he was eagerly waiting for Vinod’s next vlog. Social media was filled with encouraging messages, calling him “grandpa,” “uncle,” and even jokingly referring to him as a “new competitor” for younger creators.
A Grateful Second Vlog
Moved by the overwhelming response, Vinod shared a second video the very next day. In it, he expressed disbelief at the love he received, admitting he hadn’t even understood what a million views meant until his video crossed several million views.
He thanked viewers from the bottom of his heart and shared a simple but powerful message—encouraging people to keep going until criticism turns into applause. His words resonated just as strongly as his first video, further strengthening his growing online community.
Numbers That Speak for Themselves
Vinod began his Instagram journey only five days ago and has uploaded just five videos so far. Yet each one has already crossed six lakh views, and his follower count has surged past 40,000 and continues to rise steadily.
He also launched a YouTube channel earlier this month, gaining over 100 subscribers within a single day—a rare feat for any new creator, let alone a first-time vlogger at 70.
Vinod Kumar Sharma’s story is a reminder that the internet doesn’t care about age—it responds to authenticity. And sometimes, all it takes is one honest moment to change everything.
