Govind Kaushal Interview

"I was terrified of being judged, but the joy of making people laugh helped me break free—and now, there’s no looking back."

1. Your content is known for its relatability and unique humor. What inspired you to start creating this kind of content?

My brother and I used to make long-form YouTube comedy videos on his channel way back in 2015, but I never took the lead since I was a very shy kid. Fast forward to 2020—I was in college when Covid hit, which gave me the time and space to be alone in my room and explore my creative interests. Additionally, Instagram Reels made video creation much easier. I was naturally inspired by my brother, and over time, I discovered my passion for creating comedy videos that help brighten someone’s day.

2. Were there any challenges or turning points in your early days as a content creator that shaped your journey?

My biggest challenge was overcoming the fear of being judged online. But as I kept creating, I started focusing more on the process—specifically, the joy I felt in making others happy—and gradually, my fear subsided.

3. Many people connect with your ‘Govinuts’ persona. How did you develop your unique comedic voice and style?

By staying true to my authentic self. When you express yourself and your interests with genuine passion, you naturally find your audience.

4. What does your creative process look like, from idea to execution? Do you work alone or do you have a team supporting you now?

For brand collaborations, I follow a structured process to keep everyone aligned. I have a wonderful team that helps me manage brand communication and brings order to the chaos. However, for my organic videos, I rely more on my intuition and judgment. You can’t really predict if a video will perform well, so I focus on drawing from my own life experiences and observations to create content that feels true and authentic.

5. How do you handle creative blocks or the pressure to constantly produce fresh content?

Constantly creating can be exhausting. It’s important to have people around you with whom you can talk about anything and everything. I try to take long breaks when needed. I also love music and playing the guitar, which always helps me clear my mind.

6. What advice would you give to young creators who want to pursue digital comedy or storytelling?

Stay true to yourself and trust your instincts. Keep exploring those silly little ideas in your silly little head—haha!

7. What’s next for you? Any upcoming projects, goals, or collaborations your fans should look forward to?

I feel like I still have so much more to give and so many ways to make people happy. I’m looking to expand my team and build a better system to produce higher-quality content, more consistently. On the side, I’m really excited about a new business venture that my close friends and I have been working on for the past six months. More details on that coming super soon!
