"I never wanted a 9-to-5 job—content creation came naturally to me, and turning it into a career has been the most rewarding decision of my life."

1. What inspired you to become a content creator?

I never wanted a typical 9-to-5 job. That motivated me to explore other fields, and content creation came naturally to me. I truly enjoy it and wanted to turn it into a career.

2. How do you decide on the themes or topics for your content?

I focus on what’s trending, particularly in fashion, makeup, and lifestyle. I make sure my content reflects my personality while aligning with the trends. Authenticity is key.

3. What does a typical day as a content creator look like?

I usually wake up late, then spend my day shooting content planned the night before. If shooting is done, I focus on editing or brainstorming new ideas. I feel most creative and energetic at night, so I plan my topics then.

4. How do you stay updated with trends while keeping your style unique?

I adapt trends to suit my body type and personality. I don’t believe in blindly following them—adding a personal touch makes all the difference.

5. Has Gurgaon influenced your journey as a content creator?

Absolutely! Gurgaon has provided me with plenty of opportunities, especially because many brands are based here. The city’s aesthetic also enhances my content.

6. What advice would you give to aspiring content creators?

Keep going, no matter what. Don’t judge yourself or compare yourself to others. Being on camera is vulnerable, so be kind to yourself. Stay consistent, and success will come.

7. What’s been your most rewarding moment so far?

The most rewarding part is making a career out of something I genuinely enjoy. It’s incredibly validating and fulfilling.

8. If you could swap lives with any content creator for a day, who would it be?

I wouldn’t want to swap lives with anyone. I have my own goals, and I’m focused on achieving them in my own time.
