Me, Bhuvan, Ashish, Carry, Amit
they have earned their own value
we many times get call for collaberation and if there was no proper conversation they use to go
when people ask what you do, I say I make videos on YouTube and they say okay and what else
what other work you do I say this is only my work
before people didn't know and they use to look down
now I can proudly say that I'm an actor YouTuber
I don't watch abusive video in front of them
they watch it and they don't even say
just tell me that video was good and if there was any abusive content
I use to get good views on Instagram and somebody said you will get certain amount
I said I will take for 15,000 they said we will give you 13,500
I said okay done
Hi Harsh This is Bhavna from PINKVILLA
welcome to PINKVILLA
Harsh tell me
there was a time when YouTuber's we watch
creators were given less importance but from that
to here now today that YouTuber content creators are given much importance
how has the journey been through
it feels good when you get value
back then it was when people didn't value
but the point is you also have to build your value
and in today's date
me, Bhuvan, Ashish, Carry, Amit
they all have build their value
we many times felt when we get call for collaboration and when there was no proper conversation
then they go
like with me also it has happened many times when Bollywood collaborations came
they keep terms on you that make the content certain way
they thing it's the platform where they can promote their things
but no it's not like that, we value our content
so we also keep our conditions that I won't cut this and that
so there are many people who is okay with it but it's should be that way
because that lessen your value and take you for granted
so I see to it that no one takes me for granted \
be it Bollywood or real life
I guess people have to build their own value
and audience also plays a good role in it
audience loves us support us that is the reason we are valued
now it feels good that people know you and news articles are out on us too
first it was normal, how many records we break nobody care
now if we break record then our news article comes out too
so the value build slowly
it is in the market YouTube so it feels nice
but when in the start when it wasn't given much importance
has it ever happen when somebody might have looked down on you
have you expirenced anything
ya many times, people ask what do you do, I say I make YouTube videos
what else what do you work I use to tell this is my only work
first people didn't know and they use to look down on
Now I can proudly say that I'm an actor YouTuber
I use to feel shameful when I was growing and nobody was watching me
things have changed people didn't know YouTube first now they do know
My dad didn't know about YouTube
My Dad
now this year My dad has started watching my videos properly
what was his reaction
Mom shows him means my dad didn't use smart phones before
He use to use small phones and he said he has no interest
now that he came to know I am doing good so I bought him smartphone
and he watched my video everyday
I don't watch my videos as much he watched my
when did you first realize that you actually want to become
because this is not a career usually nobody says in childhood I want to be YouTube content creator
it is usually doctor, CA
it is a very different and unique field in a way
so when you must have said to your parents for first time this is what I want to do
how did they react were they okay with it
they were okay because they show my behavior that I won't go to college now
I told them let me go to Goa after Goa I will get back to college
I didn't use to earn that time so I begged from my parents
I had ask for 23,000 basically and begged to let me go Goa
and we get the rent so from the rent my mom gave me the cash
she said you go Goa but after that you go college
I came back from Goa my mom show my behavior that I won't get back to college
I said mom I don't want to get back to college it won't happened
and also I had my admissions done late to all my syllabus was back
I told her I don't want to do college and she said what will you do then
I said I will make videos and all
she said okay talk with your dad
I told my dad I want to make videos and all and not study
Dad said do whatever you want to do but be successful with it and make your father's name proud
this was big thing for me when he said this and gave me money for the fees
they believed me more
I decided I have to do something and they saw me happy with what I did
then I never saw back
but abusing in front of parents is awkward '
so when your parents saw it and what was their reaction
if I know it is abusive video I don't see
they watch it and don't tell me
they just say that video was good but lot of abusive words
they don't discuss abusive content otherwise they say it's good
I don't watch abusive video in front of them, they watch it themself
how much time does it take to make one video
like if you said to make characters
so how much time does it take
such videos it takes 7-8 days for scripting
because when we discuss we write it in the notes first
after that we draft the script in the software proper dialogue
seeing we don't miss any dialogue
proper dialogue like I said I am going here
so it has the whole description below that Harsh will ear this color shirt , he will go from here
okay costume is also decided
full detailing now we can work like proper movies
I have done series, movies, if I don't learn from them then what is the point
we do everything with detail, scheduling, we go to the location
be anything you see in movies we do that on small scale
while you are making content what all things do you focus on
like is it sensitive, doesn't offend people what all things do you take care of
now that we are influencer so we have to be very careful
let's take TikTok scene there are words that shouldn't hurt anybody
and we have to be very careful on certain things \
content doesn't get any boring or lengthy
audience are not hurt
my family members are not hurt and there is not much abusive words
so any creators have to keep these things in their mind
right
now that you are famous on YouTube Brands come to you
for promoting things so how do you decide you want to promote this brand or no
because there will come brands I am sure that
maybe you don't match each others idea
maybe it is promoting violence or maybe it is promoting
something which is not that you support
now you are influencer you have to see what will impact on public
initially when we started we didn't think much
we might have done brands that is wrong
we have done because we were less known back then
now that we are known we see to avoid it
because I get lot of online betting
and betting is obviously illegal in India
so we say no to them
we take care of such things
you have to see what will it impact on public and the young age
even if I am doing a scene where I am smoking I do mention down that smoking is injurious to health
that is our responsibility
I did it for the video, I don't smoke
I write it down that smoking is injurious to health
you are influncer you have to see what you promote
when you first started there were not much brands obviously
how difficult it was to earn money
that time you get one item for 4000 that was enough
like I did my first item for 4000, too much hard work 15 seconds video
it's game App and I have promoted that App in 15 seconds
and I get the money I made that video in 3 days
my frequency was I made videos in every 3 days
so I was thinking if I made 10 videos in 3 months
if I get 5 also out of 10 I get 20,000
and I was 19 year old that time so that was enough for 19 year old boy
so I was happy that yeah I am getting
I saw Ashish I use to talk to him
so we use to discuss with each other about the rates
ever been exploit because of money
because when you are new people can fool you
yes, true and I will tell you the story I did an Ad
so I use to get good views on Instagram
and someone said you will get certain amount
so I said I will take at 15000
so he said brother we will give you 13,500
I said okay done
I uploaded the video and worked good
my recent manager I got call from him
asking me for how much money did you do the Ad
we use to talk on Facebook he was not my manger back then
I said I did it for this amount so his name is Dheeraj
Dheeraj said the 50,000 has been asked for the Ad and they made you do at 13,500
I said God what kind of people do we have in world
then I got some knowledge
but who gave you the best compliments for your videos
or Bollywood celebrity you had fun working with
In Bollywood I have worked with Tiger Shroff and only once for now
there haven't been any more bollywood collab
Milanda the musician yes with him I have collab
and I have worked with Tiger Shroff so it was a fan moment
he is good, fun, supportive
for now I had one let's hope for good future
lastly before I let you go I have to ask
today it's a huge profession for people
YouTube content creator is a huge thing but
budding content creator what is your advice for them
what do you want them to do
Don't make it cringe
first point in bold
make content
second thing I would say is make unique
have competition with yourself
I had this thing that if I have to make about YouTube and TikTok I have to make something unique
look at this segment it is different
there was zoom in and out so it was visually funny
so if the content creator keeps in mind then this becomes trend
now we see meme's
now people are making meme's on this
you have to do that thing that audience like it
yeah right
so thank you so much Harsh it was lovely chatting with you
Thank you so much
