Q1. How did @disha.madan come into the world of content creation?

Content creation happened to me by accident. I was in this industry way before it was even considered as an industry or a full-fledged career. I used to create videos for fun and accidentally tumbled upon TikTok and posted a few videos there that went viral. Eventually, with regular posts, it became a profession even without my knowledge. Everything happened so smoothly that the transition was just surprising to me.

Q2. How do you multi-task being an actor, content creator, and being a mother?

Juggling acting, content creation, and motherhood simultaneously can feel like spinning multiple plates at a time! I’ve learned to approach each day with careful planning, ensuring that I allocate time efficiently to each responsibility. Prioritising tasks has become essential, allowing me to focus on what’s most important at the moment. And when things get overwhelming, I’ve come to realise the importance of reaching out for support from loved ones or hiring assistance when necessary. Ultimately, it’s about striking a balance that not only allows me to pursue my passions but also nurtures my role as a mother and maintains harmony within our family dynamic.

Q3. Acting over content creation or vice versa?

Choosing between acting and content creation is a constant balancing act. There are days when I’m drawn more towards the excitement of being on set and embodying a character, while other times, the creative freedom of content creation overpowers me. It’s like having two passions pulling at my heartstrings, each vying for my attention. Ultimately, I’ve learned to trust my instincts and embrace the flow of life’s demands. Whether I’m performing in front of a camera or crafting content behind the scenes, I follow what feels most fulfilling in that moment, knowing that both paths contribute to my growth as an artist and a person.

Q4. Any actor you would want to dance with?

It is the one and only SHAH RUKH KHAN for me!

Q5. What other creators do you enjoy watching?

I’m particularly fond of those in the comedy and dance genres. In the dance category, I love watching talented creators like Team Naach and Sonali Bhadauria, who bring energy and excitement to their content. Meanwhile, in the comedy sphere, I appreciate the humour and wit of creators like Just Neel Things, Viraj Ghelani, and Danish Sait, who always leave me laughing and entertained.

Q6. As we look back on Exhibit’s 18-year anniversary, how do you see the content creation journey has evolved over the years?

I think the journey of content creation has evolved a lot over the years. Back when I started, it was simpler- just creating for fun. However, now, with new platforms launching every day, algorithms changing rapidly, new creators joining, and new genres being introduced, it’s become more complex. There are more opportunities to reach people, but also more competition. It’s like a constantly changing landscape, and you have to adapt to stay relevant.
