This Is When Purav Jha’s Father Finally Accepted His Career Choices

In the episode of Tere Gully Mein, Purav Jha, a popular YouTube sensation known for his mimicry skills, opened up about how his father came to accept his content creation journey. The conversation took place at Little Chef, Paschim Vihar, over a plate of spring rolls. Initially working under the famous YouTuber Harsh Beniwal, Purav has since carved out a path for himself. His YouTube journey is truly admirable, and here’s how his father came to support his career choices.

Purav Jha’s Father’s Reaction To His Videos

In a candid conversation, Purav Jha shared how his father initially reacted to his YouTube videos. For the first six months of his YouTube journey, Purav didn’t share anything with his father; however, his mother was supportive and encouraged him to follow his heart. His mother had just one condition that whatever he does must never compromise his father’s respect.  

He went on to share that when he received his first salary while working with Harsh Beniwal, he placed it in his father’s hands. At the time, his father, a respected teacher, was urging him to take admission in an engineering college. That’s when Purav decided to talk to him about what he was actually doing and who he was working with. When his father asked about his work, Purav Jha revealed that he had been acting in YouTube videos, and it was being appreciated by the audience.

After watching a video in which Purav was dressed as a girl, his father jokingly called it “launda nach”, a popular act during weddings in Bihar. Still, he gave Purav six months to test the stability of this path, with the condition that if it didn’t work out, he would return to his studies. 

His father finally accepted his career choice when his students asked him to call Purav so that they could take pictures with him. Witnessing that fan moment made his father realise that Purav wasn’t losing respect; instead, he was earning it. That was the validation Purav had been waiting for. It gave him the confidence to fully pursue a career in content creation. The best moment for Purav was when people started calling his father “Purav ke Papa,” a gesture that made him feel truly proud and fulfilled.
