‘Miss Bharne’

Roma Vinay Bharne, popularly known as ‘Miss Bharne’, is a food blogger and YouTuber based in Porvorim. Born and brought up in Goa, Roma hails from the Bharne family, which runs Bharne Lifestyle, a readymade garment business that has been operating in Goa for more than 100 years now. Roma did her schooling at Mushtifund High School and then completed her Higher Secondary in Don Bosco. She did her Bachelor’s in Commerce from Dempo College of Commerce and Economics, Panaji.

Since childhood, Roma had a love for the creative field and always wanted to make something of her own. She wanted to grow up to become a fashion designer but as she grew up, that shifted to becoming a blogger and a YouTuber.

After completing her graduation, Roma joined her family business. Despite that, she had this urge to do something of her own. She also worked as a Social Media Executive for a few months but wasn’t satisfied or happy, which is when she decided to focus on her food page and YouTube channel.

Since her childhood, she loved clicking pictures, especially food photography was something she always did and enjoyed. She randomly decided to start her own food page just for fun. Little did she know that her food page would turn out to be such a huge success and take her so far up. Her love for food led her to start her YouTube channel where she covers various food items. She always wanted to do something of her own, get recognized for it, and get famous.

“My parents and sisters have always supported me in each of my decisions,” says Roma. Her family and she herself knew that YouTube isn’t a promised or guaranteed success but she always got support from her family whenever she needed it. “I cannot thank them enough,” says Roma.

Although she hasn’t yet collaborated with any other influencer or YouTuber in Goa, she is hopeful that she will someday. She says that she doesn’t have any specific role models, but she follows many of them. And in her pursuit to learn from the bigger names of YouTube, she noticed a couple of things common in all of those creators and that is Hard work and

Consistency. Working hard and consistently is the key that all successful people have in common and she says that is her inspiration. She does admire the videos of a creator named Golgappa Girl, she creates awesome food content. Along with that Roma being a huge fan of Arijit Singh hopes to meet him someday.

Being a YouTuber and a content creator isn’t as easy as it seems. Nothing in this world is easy and everything has its own challenges. The challenges faced by Roma being a blogger/ YouTuber primarily revolve around getting more views and engagement with the content she creates and creating good quality content which can keep an audience engaged and also enjoy it. Interesting and engaging content further helps in increasing the number of audience/ followers. In the future, she plans on focusing more on her YouTube channel and increasing its reach by posting super awesome and interesting videos.

To all Goan youngsters, Roma says: "Do what makes you happy and believe in yourself, anything is possible".
