Viral Video: 70-Year-Old UP Man Becomes an Internet Sensation as His First Vlog Crosses 29 Million Views
Age quietly took a back seat when Vinod Kumar Sharma from Uttar Pradesh posted his very first vlog. With no experience, no fancy edits, and no script, the 70-year-old simply pressed record and went viral. His debut Instagram video raced past 22 million views and touched nearly 30 million within just 72 hours.
In the clip, Sharma introduces himself with disarming honesty, saying, "70 saal ki umr mein apna pehla vlog bana raha hoon." He admits he doesn’t know how to vlog, but wants to try something new during retirement to stay engaged. There’s no performance, only sincerity. That simplicity became his superpower.
In the video, he said, "Mera naam Vinod Kumar Sharma hai. Main UP ka rehne wala hu. Mujhko vlog banana ni aata, fir bhi mai koshish kar raha hu ki samay vyatit karne ke liye, vlog banaya jaye. Aasha hai aapko mera ye vlog pasand ayega jisse ki mai prothsahit ho kar, aage bhi es karya ko jari rakh sakhu (My name is Vinod Kumar Sharma. I am from Uttar Pradesh. I don't know how to vlog, but I am trying to spend my time by making videos. I hope you like this vlog so that I feel encouraged to continue this work."
What followed was an outpouring of warmth. The video clocked over 2 million likes, with thousands of comments cheering him on. Viewers called him an inspiration, a reminder of their parents and grandparents, and living proof that learning has no age limit. Messages like “Age is just a number, uncle” and “Hum aapke saath hai” filled the comment section.
Some comments stood out for their emotion. One user wrote that he had “made hearts happy,” while another praised him for proving that learning never stops. A particularly touching line echoed his quiet determination: “I will not stop until all the taunts turn into claps.”
The viral moment quickly turned into a growing journey. Sharma’s follower count jumped to over 64,000, and celebrities took notice too. Actor Jay Bhanushali commented that he was already waiting for the next vlog, while Anupam Kher also acknowledged the heartfelt clip.
In a world flooded with polished reels and high-budget content, Vinod Kumar Sharma’s simple video struck a chord. No filters. No gimmicks. Just honesty. His story is a gentle reminder that it’s never too late to begin and that authenticity still wins the internet.
