Ex : How did your content creation journey kick start?
I started my content creation journey by learning to talk about menstrual cups, which is a revolution, and we don’t talk about it enough.
Ex : What is your most viral reel/short? How did the idea come, and how long did it take to shoot?
It was about how you should not hover when you pee in a public toilet. That was in collaboration with Nehadoodles. I saw her reel; she was doing the Beyonce trend, and I loved it, and I was just like, where she shows how when we go to a public toilet, we hover over the seat instead of sitting. I thought it would be a brilliant idea to make a reel. So, as soon as I got out of bed, I shot that reel without any makeup, with my hair looking wild, and it got 5 million views.
Ex : Any 4 creators you want to collaborate with in the future
Doctor Mike, Casey Neistat, Kusha Kapila, and Dr. Karan Rajan.
Ex : What piece of tech is your favourite
My DJI mic, I absolutely love the DJI collection.
Ex : Assuming Instagram is shutting down in 24 hours, what will you do?
I will download all of my content and upload it to YouTube instead
Ex : Tell us about a project that you are the most proud of.
That has come from Instagram, my HPV vaccine campaign I led along with the Her Adhikaar Foundation Foundation and Change.org. We are leading a campaign to petition the Indian government to make the HPV vaccine a part of the National Immunization protocol, and if we can do this, we can make India cervical cancer-free, which is the second largest leading cause of death in women in urban India and I’m going to change it.
Ex : Give us one or more hashtags describing you
#screwtheshush #filterhataoshakaldikhao
Ex : Can you describe a BTS / blooper that happened during a shoot but didn’t make it into the final content piece?
It actually did make it into the final content piece. A reel where I was explaining, “does masturbation cause acne?” and as I was
explaining that, I sneezed very loudly. And as a blooper, I decided to upload that real; it was my first reel that got 1 million views.
Ex : What will the creator and scape look like in 10 years from now?
Hopefully, there will be more creators from the fields of medical and science communication. I’m very excited to see that. That’s just a very budding new field right now.
Ex : What are the platforms you are active on – how do you decide what goes where?
I’m a medicine and science communication expert, so I put everything everywhere.
Ex : What is your dream project?
I want to launch the biggest repository of sexual menstrual and body literacy content ever, and I would like to make it in partnership with the government of India. So It reaches everybody in this country, and everybody can transform their lives.
Ex : Advice you would like to give to budding creators.
Keep at it. Just keep posting and do what you love. Don’t try to imitate somebody else. Put your own style. Do silly things that feel like you become your trademark, and just be true to yourself and keep pushing every day. Also, remember to take your breaks because it’s a very it’s a high burnout, higher attrition rate industry. So take time for yourself, but also push.
