Ex : How did your content creation journey kick start?
It was lockdown time, and I wanted to brush up on my acting skills. I was thinking about when the casting process will start again. So, in an attempt to create something like a portfolio that I could show to casting directors, I started creating content by playing various characters.
Ex : What is your most viral reel/short? How did the idea come, and how long did it take to shoot?
My first viral reel was asking Indians – what do they do for a living? We were doing this various character format videos before heading to the long format videos. One day, we thought of shooting a short video of about one minute. We shot it, and it went viral. It took us about 1-2 hours for a shoot with a lot of costume changes.
