“Dhanyavad Bharat,” he wrote while sharing a video. In his clip, he thanked YouTube's international and Indian teams for their unwavering support and quick action in resolving the issue. He expressed his deep gratitude to his 80-member team and acknowledged their hard work in creating his podcasts. He also thanked the fans who stood by him during this challenging time.

Was it a PR stunt?

Addressing allegations that this was a PR stunt, Allahbadia firmly expressed that his work is his religion and he will never make fun of it.

How did MS Dhoni's words inspire BeerBiceps?

He was in Singapore when he found out about the hacking incident. His first reaction was fear, fearing that his ten years of hard work had been lost. However, he found strength in the words of MS Dhoni, who once said that it is better to react to a situation than to react. These words inspired him to overcome his initial panic and think rationally about how to handle the situation.

Ranveer Allahbadia's Backup Plan:

He talked about what he would have done if the canals had not been restored. The content creator shared that he started three companies a few years ago. After learning about the hacker attack, he decided to focus more on one of his businesses if his channels were not restored.

A third commented: “I watch your content every day when I travel but when I was browsing your videos yesterday I was like 'areey yarr' now I can't watch this great content but now I'm happy.” Continued like that, brother. We love you so much Ranveer, our support is always with you. Keep doing good work.”

How did BeerBiceps react to the first hacking news?

“I'm celebrating the hacker attack on my two main channels with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. The death of BeerBiceps meets the death of diet,” he wrote in a post after his channels were hacked. In another Instagram story, he added: “Is this the end of my YouTube career? It was nice meeting you all.”
