So many people recognise my mother from Garhwali movies. She is a big star there. She is on Amazon Prime, as well. But, I have never seen her movies,” admits content creator and social media influencer Ankush Bahuguna of his mum Manju, a Garhwali actor, and now a constant on his Instagram feed. Manju also had small roles in Pataal Lok (2020) and the political drama Tandav (2021). The two are now making his 746k followers laugh with their mother-son camaraderie.

“In reality, it’s not like this at all; we fight all the time. People think we get along, but it’s quite the opposite,” says Delhi-based Ankush. The duo started making videos only during the lockdown, as they finally got to spend more time together.
