Everyone's expecting me
to throw the biggest party for my 21st.
And I'm super excited,
I feel like my whole life's been leading up to this moment.
Lemme see, lemme see.
I actually like that.
Now it's daylight savings, so we get more time
'cause I usually sleep in, and I miss golden hour, so yay.
It's such a good day for this, so glad.
My 21st is just what it's all been leading up to,
and this is gonna be the biggest party.
I've literally been partying since I was maybe 16,
and throwing massive birthday parties for myself.
I'm best known for my party vlogs on my YouTube channel
and my photos on Instagram.
I imagine it to be like an outdoor party with a pool,
and then have everybody outside dancing
and wearing something elegant.
My parents have never actually seen me party
or get drunk in real life, they just see it on YouTube.
Hope they have fun and don't get too overwhelmed at my 21st.
Bro, what is our life?
I'm on my way to pick my dream chihuahua, bro.
Yay.
Been waiting for this moment.
I feel like every baddie needs to have a chihuahua.
It's just an accessory, you know?
I can't see them.
Stop, over there.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, hello, hello.
I'm Amisha.
Oh my God, nice to meet you.
He's so beautiful.
Do you want to hold him?
Yes, please.
I promise, I'll look after him so much.
He'll have the best life ever.
We've bought him so much stuff
and he's gonna be so spoiled, I promise you.
He's already on TV.
Everybody look at my chihuahua, yay.
Look at my chihuahua.
I was looking at your eyelashes.
(both laughing)
Oh god, it's gorgeous.
And you look fabulous too.
Thank you.
Hi, welcome to my crib.
Come inside.
Here's our alcohol collection, this is my favourite one.
I got this as a gift for my birthday.
It says Misha and Barbie.
This is my stripper pole.
And yeah, period,
I put it up my myself, me and my flatmate.
It's pretty hard to put up yourself.
But yeah, we did that.
And this is the door handle from my car.
So one time I crashed it after like driving home from town.
And I'm like, "Can I keep the door?"
But then my mum wouldn't let me keep the door,
so I got to keep the handle.
Yay, can't wait to see what's inside.
Long-term, if I could make influencing my full-time thing,
that's the dream.
Fashion Nova basically sends me ten items per month
in exchange for me making a whole dedicated YouTube video,
slash like try-on haul for them.
Last month I was working with this New Zealand brand,
and not only did they send me the product,
but they also sent me 250 bucks
just to post a photo of me in the product.
Overall, I feel like you can pay the rent with it,
but you can't buy more things,
it's just standard rent money.
So I have a side job as well,
just to make sure I can afford the quality of life.
Welcome to Femme Fatale.
Since influencing isn't my full-time job at the moment,
I currently work here as a bartender.
In 2018 when I just finished high school.
that was when my influencer career was really taking off.
I went to LA and I was in a Snoop Dogg music video
that was on WorldStar.
This video's gonna be a behind the scenes
of a Snoop Dogg music video.
Yeah, now I can't be doing that because of Covid.
Honestly, I'm happy in Auckland, it's cute.
And I know everyone and everyone knows me or whatever.
But obviously I'm a bit bored of it,
I feel like I've done everything here,
and I'm ready for the next chapter.
Hello, could I please get the mac and cheese bites?
And could I get four frozen Cokes, the raspberry ones?
Look at your nails, Imma get them painted. Like Mommy!
Thank you.
The last few weeks, I've just been getting heaps of hate
for this party I attended.
[TikTok Audio] Covid rules are 25 people outside.
People are just acting like
I went to that influencer party that was in the North Shore
that was all over the news,
but it was nothing like that.
There was not 26 people, not 27, there was only 25.
And yeah, everyone was vaxxed so I don't see the problem.
Producer: Do you understand that
the restrictions at the time
stated that you couldn't have indoor gatherings
no matter how many people you did have?
Yeah, I get why people are mad though
'cause technically this was breaking the rules
by having 25 people inside, not outside.
Just the extent they went to that was just so unnecessary.
They started posting about
something I said nearly five years ago.
[TikTok Audio] Brands like Culture Kings
didn't know about her racism, et cetera.
But now that they do, will never-
When I was maybe 17, I wrote this post
about saying like, "I'm so embarrassed to be Indian.
Indians are so embarrassing, and fugly, and hairy."
And I used like really harsh terms like that,
and somebody on that account screenshotted it
and it just went viral.
I was just ashamed of what I said,
and I'm like, "I can't believe I even said this.
"What the hell?"
I'm not a racist, I'm just a brown girl
that was just brought up in New Zealand thinking,
white people are the beauty standard.
If you read the comments on all those posts
they're all positive, they're saying like,
she's clearly evolved, she's apologised.
She's embracing her culture with her family on Diwali.
Posting in Indian clothes
and yeah, embracing her culture.
We at the studio and we're making a song.
I just feel like half the time
when I'm taking photos and stuff and just driving around,
I'm like, shit
I can imagine this being in a music video
and to have a music video, you gotta make a song,
so that's what we doing.
Yay!
Yo that one was pretty good,
but I think you need to come with more energy.
You had all the notes on time but-
Okay, true.
You know, just say it with your chest a bit more.
Okay, period, one more time.
So I was born in New Delhi in India,
and I moved to New Zealand when I was just one.
I feel like my relationship with my parents
at this very moment is really good.
It's probably at its best right now.
For like the past three years, it wasn't really good.
With me transitioning into my influencer career or whatever,
it was just hard for them to accept the fact that
I'm not going to uni.
I'm not doing this stereotypical
life path.
Earlier last year India had a massive case of Covid.
Unfortunately my grandparents both passed away due to Covid.
So basically just made me and my parents realise that
we're literally the only family we have in New Zealand,
so it just kind of just brought us closer together.
If they were at my 21st
I would just love to see the look on their faces.
I'll just throw it all at them saying,
"I'm starting a rap career, I do YouTube.
"Here's my YouTube channel."
I'd just love to see like my grandma's reaction.
But yeah.
I'm happy.
Love you, love you.
I think my daughter is very, very bright.
A very beautiful, intelligent child
that we made the right move to bring her here.
Misha has me and Amit as her only family.
And that is why I'm gonna be behind my daughter
no matter what happens in life.
And so this is our way of supporting her
with whatever decisions she makes,
we will be there to cover her back.
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday dear Misha ♪
I'm so happy. So, so happy.
This party is literally everything I dreamed of.
I feel like an adult because when I was younger
I didn't get freedom.
So I feel like freedom really associates with adulthood.
So I'm free, I can wear whatever I want,
I can be whoever I am.
I can say whatever I want. I'm an adult.
