same, bhp is just fancy way of saying horse power.
Well technitically bhp means brake horse power, which is means horse power without any resitance from gearbox, engine bands, and power transfer to the actual tires. Hp is horse power after the loss from transfering the power to the tires from the engine.

HP refers to the rated output of the engine. B HP or brake horse power refers to the actual HP rating available at the drive wheel(s) this rating takes into consideration the mechanical losses through the drive train of the vehicle.
