Hi guys welcome to PINKVILLA and this is Bhavna
today we have one of the most followed loved and adored YouTuber in India
it is AShish Chanchlani
welcome to PINKVILLA
Thank you Bhavna
starting from Ullashnagar to now that everyone knows you, everyone watches your video
how have your journey been if you have to submit up in few words
in word I can say it's dreamy I never expected that
I would get this kind of response in my life or
feels good, and happy people give so much love
Infact still I don't believe everyday I wake up
sometimes you get this subconciously ask myself
have I become this big? How like what's the hype why
but I have to understand from being an engineer you were studying engineer if I am not wrong
which is considered to be very safe sort of career option
to being into this unsafe zone wherein You don't know what is gonna happen tomorrow
how did people around respond
I think first of all engineering is not a safe career because
everyone get into engineering and
the actual people who really want to do engineering
I feel bad for them I gave up in first year because
it was all about assigments journals stupid things
I didn't see any education
then I realized that engineering is not for me
and I always wanted to become an actor
it's just that I had given up
that passion you have that you hide
that came out during engineering
that frustration that passion the urge to entertain people
I think I was there at the right time, at the right moment
and I did it I feel like
that everything happened for a reason
when you told your parents perhaps that this is what you want to do
how did they react were they okay
my parents have always been fine
since day 1 they were never like what are you doing this
if ever I dress up as girls character mom gave me her dress
she use to laugh and she use to have fun
thinking I am entertaining acting like a girl
she enjoyed that so parents have always supported me
yes dad use to be little practical
you know there were 3 years 2014, 2015, 2016
and almost 2017 if you count for entire 2017
4 years I use to not earn anything
I had almost given up I was like
I made people laugh, entertained and money was not coming
say how much while starting the show that I don't care about money, just want to entertain
2 years is okay but in reality when you need
you really need it then I realized that I have to
and I had almost given up, dad was the one who told me no you should not
all of this hard work you are doing all of this 4 years it will give you the fruit
that you have been sowing for
so finally in 2018 I started earning
so mom dad has always been supportive always
but Ashish during that 4 years that you mentioned
did you ever feel low thinking where did I get into, it was better if I did my engineering
yes, absolutely there were times
when I started with my journey I use to tell this to my followers
I don't want to earn money this is the truth
2015-2016 I use to say on my Instagram, I don't want to earn money I just want to entertain you
and I was all enthustiatic for that
then time came I had to ask money from my dad
we had issues and problems that
I think there were times when I couldn't and he couldn't
and I realized that what the hell am I doing in my life
if I am not even able to do something for myself
I felt shame
I use to feel very low that I am not earning
I had rather continue my engineering or my dad's business
I had regret that am I wasting my life
yes I belong to a rich family
I never actually told this to anyone but
the family has also been through a lot of troubles
like my dad worked his ass off
in the cinema we had and we were not like pools of money
everything went into that business and somewhere he had expectations from me
that I would go ahead and handle that but I didn't
so he had to do it on his own
then lot of problems came I went into this
that was the time I was thinking in my mind I did a mistake
I just disappoint my dad but then also my dad supported me with a smile
I saw most of the videos I saw your friends and other people also
how do you even earn and keep it economically when there are so many people involved in a video
how does it happen
because in start there was hardly any money
no there was not like I said
4 years I had to spend everything I had my own
of my dad and there were lot of issues lot
friends use to do it out of courtesy
because they are my friends
for 2 years we have worked absolutely free
without expecting anything because they are geniun friends
today the world knows them the people know them
so we have struggled a lot like a lot like
for camera for mobile for tripot
for location we have begged
people have left home Muskan my sister use to leave her studies and come
friends have left home and taking risk
I think all of that returned since 2018 when brand started coming in
I was afford to pay everyone and keep them happy
like entertainment also and earning also
but do you recall in anything when someone might have said something nasty
like you mentioned that you have been through struggle
and struggle is the time people take undue advantage of
of that situation perhaps say nasty things
on your face I am nice
do you recall anything
most of the the nasty people exsisted in my life even before I became a star
when I became the star the same people
were very nice to me
but I haven't faced anyone in my life that was nasty on my face
I have to talk to many people who hate me through chats
haters and trollers
but once I talk to them they talk to me they realized
even if, now it can be that not everyone will like my content
that is the truth that is universal excepted
so I tell these people or hater that if my content is not good to you it's okay
why are you hating on me you should talk to me
if I have to ask what will be the best moment or best video for you or best moment for you in your career
I think I have lot of best moments
if you say when I started my journey what best moment
for me would be when I am with my parents
and someone ask for a selfie
go outside and people recognize them as me
I think that's one of the biggest moment for me
the biggest moment of my life is when I met Akshay Kumar
I think it was one of the long dreams to work with him
that day I was really emotional yes I made it
third biggest moment I never even imagined
was to go to America, that I would even travel America on my own
and attend the premire of Avengers
now I am jealous
what is the best compliments you have received you have worked with so many stars
but what is the best compliment you have received from someone
the best compliment I receive is from
patient who was suffering from depression
and she was in hospital and
she said somewhere my videos helped her a lot
this was the best compliment I could ever get because
the way you reach people by making them laugh
it's a beautiful thing I guess I had tears while listening to
that has to be best compliment of my life
for someone who wants to be on YouTube today what is your advice to them
and one misconception that people have for YouTubers
let's break that myth today
No.1 to all the people who want to be YouTuber today
you can become anything you want on YouTube
just make sure don't do what Ashish is doing don't do what Bhuvan is doing
don't do what Carry is doing
you have to make your own identity
people should know you buy your name and not just
just make sure you are fresh unique
because internet is full of different people, now completely saturated
and if you shine in this moment mean you have something big
we were lucky because we were new
you have to keep in mind that you are unique
and second misconception YouTuber
being a YouTuber is also as good as other career
I will never say my or someone else's career superior to anyone else
of course Doctors and all they save us to I don;t compare
but some people degrade YouTubers
you have no idea how people you can reach through it
you have no idea how many you spread your content and inspire them
to any people who are passionate want to be YouTuber you support them
it's a good field it's very expressive and
way it returns to you it take hardwork and patience
you can't be overnight star but
when you be you get so much in return
Thank you so much Ashish
for doing this it was a pleasure
same her thank you so much.
