Aarush Bhola on Why Change Is Key to Keeping Content Fresh and Engaging

Actor and content creator Aarush Bhola shared his views on embracing change during promotions for 'Playground 5' in Mumbai. He explained how he shifted from traditional YouTube vlogging to reality shows and podcasts to grow as a personality. Bhola noted that on a show, directors and producers help bring out a creator's real self, which vlogging alone cannot do. He believes constant evolution in content is necessary to keep the audience entertained and engaged.

Aarush Bhola craves for change, says it keeps things interesting

Mumbai, Aug 12

Actor and content creator, Aarush Bhola, who can be seen in the recently released season 5 of the gaming reality show 'Playground 5', has spoken up on his relationship with change.

Aarush spoke with IANS along with his fellow mentors on the show, Elvish Yadav and Tejasswi Prakash during the promotions of the show at a 5-star property in the city.

When asked if change is always comfortable for him or if there is a sense of discomfort, he said, "If there is change in everything then I enjoy doing it. In the beginning, I used to do a lot of YouTube. People are used to seeing me. But gradually, you have to change your frequency, your content. Then I took this change. That I will share it for 3-4 days. After that, I decided to put some trip vlogs. Now I show some BTS vlogs. Some new opportunities have come. I did a reality show for that. But people didn't get a real personality because of me being a vlogger. As a vlogger, you record others more. you record your surroundings. So, people can't ascertain your personality".

He further mentioned, "On a show, a director, producer, all brains work, and that's how your personality comes up. I wanted to show that to people. So for this change, I left all the vlogging. I went to that in my 'Rise and Fall'. Then I came out of there. Then I saw the change. Now I do podcasts. All that should change only then the audience will enjoy".

Talking about 'Playground', the show blends gaming, entertainment, competition and influencer culture into a single format. It is designed around a virtual playground, and brings together young creators, gamers and internet personalities who compete in a variety of challenges while navigating rivalries, friendships and team dynamics.

'Playground' season 5 is available to stream on Amazon MX Player.

He makes a good point about how vlogging doesn't really show your personality. You're always behind the camera, capturing others. Shows like Playground force you to be in front and let people see who you really are. That's a smart career move, actually.

I get what he's saying about change being exciting, but sometimes too much change can confuse the audience too. Like, one day he's a vlogger, next he's on a reality show, then he's a podcaster. Hope he finds his true zone rather than just chasing trends. Just my honest opinion. 🤔

This is actually a really insightful take from a content creator. Most of them are terrified of changing their format because they fear losing subscribers. Aarush seems to understand that stagnation is a bigger risk in the long run. Smart guy.

The point about how directors and producers help bring out your personality on a show is so true! Vlogging can be very one-dimensional. Shows like Playground actually push you into group dynamics, competition, and real interactions. That's where the real personality shines through.

"All that should change only then the audience will enjoy" — that's such a mature take. Audiences get bored easily, especially with the endless content on social media. Creators who adapt survive. Respect to Aarush for not playing it safe. 👍
