Lakshay Negi Interview

"I wanted to make content in a way that I make a mixture of humour, relatable things and show it through video"

Q. For those who’ve just discovered you—how would you describe Lakshay Negi beyond the Instagram bio? What drives your voice online?

I am just a simple guy who's making content to make people laugh, happy, and entertain them. Because of my content, a lot of people think that I'm an extroverted person, but in real life, I'm introvert person. Until and unless I'm able to match my vibe with someone, I'm not able to make friends. 

That's why I don't have friends, because I need that loyalty and friendship also. Maybe that's the reason I make content to express my feelings through my videos. Maybe so, that's what I am actually.

Q. Your tagline “Kabhi Mazaak | Kabhi Facts” perfectly balances humour and seriousness—how do you decide when a topic needs wit and when it demands honesty?

As you see, my tagline is "Sometimes joke, sometimes fact", perfectly balancing the humour and seriousness. Serious content is already on the internet. A lot of professionals are talking about this, and they are doing so well, but I wanted to make content in a way that I make a mixture of humour, relatable things and show it through video, so that people can easily relate to it and understand it. 

That's why I chose this way to make content, 90% of the time, I can easily tell anything with humour. But sometimes there is some serious content or some issue in which you have to be serious. 90% of my content is all about funny, relatable and with humour. But sometimes I choose to be serious because of the topic, considering how sensitive it is. So that's how I choose whether I want to be funny or serious. 

Q. As a journalist in the age of reels and short attention spans, what’s the biggest challenge in keeping facts intact without losing engagement?

I agree with your point that nowadays people want transition. They want to see motivation, they want to see Bollywood, they want to see romantic, and they want to see comedy videos. Just swipe them, just in two seconds, if you don't like it, they will swipe it. 

So, for this, in the first five seconds, you will have to be very relatable. You will have to make such a hook that people stop at that video. And sometimes it is hard because the time span is so short. You have to say your thing in 60-90 seconds, with facts, with humour, with a relatable thing. 

So this is sometimes hard because you don't have to look misleading, you don't have to give wrong information, and you have to make content without being judgmental. So sometimes it's hard, but now people are doing it very well.

Q. Looking at India’s digital media space today, what do you think creators are doing right—and what are we getting dangerously wrong?

It's my perspective, it's my point of view, actually. As a content creator or an influencer, you have some responsibility because a lot of people are watching you. So, if you are making content without being judgmental, without misleading facts, without abusing language, and without disrespecting anyone, that great. 

If you are making content, you are doing great. You are making people laugh, you are informing them, you are educating them, you are doing great. But nowadays, there is a lot of bullying culture. People are like, in the name of roasting, they are actually bullying people. So, that's so bad. 

People are enjoying it. So, maybe, this is so dangerous. Because of someone's mental health, they don't know what will happen by commenting, what will happen by making a video, or what will happen by liking something. But, actually, it affects a lot of other person's minds, their psychology. So, I think this is so dangerous nowadays.

Q. If Instagram and YouTube disappeared tomorrow, what medium would Lakshay Negi choose next to tell stories—and why?

I never thought about it, actually, but I can say that there is always a better possibility. When I went to TikTok, people switched to Instagram, YouTube, and now they are doing great. So if something like this happens, there will be a better possibility 100%, and as content creators, we love making content, we love making people laugh, so we will find a way, so if something like this happens, there will be a better possibility for sure.
