Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, recently opened up about a lesser-known chapter of his life — the financial crisis his family faced during his youth. Despite studying in a top school and having doctor parents, Ranveer revealed that he was not from a privileged background and had to build his career on his own.
People Thought He Was Privileged, But Reality Was Different
Many people believed Ranveer had a rich background because he studied at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, where children of many Bollywood celebrities also study. Also, both his parents are respected doctors. But in a recent interview with Prafull Garg, Ranveer cleared the air and shared the truth.
He said that during his 11th and 12th standard, his family’s businesses collapsed. That time was extremely tough for them. They went through nearly six years of financial struggle before things got better.
Couldn’t Go Abroad For Studies, Started Working Early
Ranveer revealed that even though he wanted to go abroad for higher education, his parents didn’t have the money to fund it. At the age of 22, he was on his own. He worked in an engineering factory, and later became a fitness trainer to earn money.
He used that income to pay for his own diet, and eventually saved enough to start his content creation journey. Ranveer proudly said that his business was bootstrapped, meaning he didn’t take money from anyone — not even his parents.
Parents Gave Only Emotional Support, Not Financial Help
While Ranveer’s parents couldn’t help financially, they always stood by him emotionally. He shared that doctors, especially in India, start earning well only after the age of 40. His parents, Dr. Gautam Allahbadia (a well-known IVF expert) and Dr. Swati Allahbadia (a reputed gynaecologist), had also gone through ups and downs in their professional lives.
At one point, they were doing very well. But then, financial issues struck — and that affected Ranveer’s educational plans.
From Fitness Trainer To One Of India’s Top Podcasters
After years of hard work, Ranveer built his brand from scratch. From giving fitness training to making YouTube videos, and now running successful podcasts like The Ranveer Show, his journey is inspiring for many youth in India.
He proved that even if you don’t come from money, with dedication and smart work, success is possible.
Conclusion
Ranveer Allahbadia’s story teaches us that success doesn’t always come from privilege. Sometimes, the biggest achievements come from the hardest struggles. Despite being surrounded by people who seemed well-off, Ranveer had to fight his own battles quietly.
His honesty about his family’s financial crisis, and how he managed everything on his own, is a powerful reminder that not every achiever starts from luxury. Some just make the best out of what they have — and create their own destiny.
