Dharna D - Comic Creator of the Month

Ex: How did you get started in content creation?

Dharna: So basically, I have done theatre in college, but when the lockdown happened, I thought, what to do? During that time, I used to make fun videos and I just used to share it with my friends very randomly, not at all with the intention of posting it somewhere. Then, one day, my friend told me, why don’t you post it on Instagram, it’s very funny. This is how I randomly posted my first ever IGTV video on Instagram, and this is how I entered my content creation.

Ex: What sort of reaction were you expecting when you first started posting online?

Dharna: When I posted my first video, I wasn’t expecting anything. The only thing I wished for was to make my then-followers happy with my content. I wasn’t worried about the reach, likes or comments.

Ex: How do you go about writing your skits?

Dharna: I like to write in a subtle manner as I believe that skits should be something that happens in daily surroundings and something that I observe in my life. Also, I keep my focus on the mass audience and prefer to make relatable content.

Ex: What’s the inspiration behind your relatable humour and skits?

Dharna: I come from a Punjabi family, and I like to spend a lot of time with my family and relatives. The base of my humour comes from there, be it picking characters or writing skits with relatable humour.

Ex: How did it feel to expand your career?

Dharna: Expanding my career in content creation was the best decision I’ve ever made. I believe in the saying, ‘Do what you love, and you’ll never work another day in your life.’ Since I’ve entered the world of content creation, I haven’t felt tired because that’s what I love.

Ex: What did you want to become when you were a kid?

Dharna: When I was a kid, for one day, I wanted to become something, while on the other day, I wanted to become something else. As a kid, like every other kid, I was confused about what I really wanted to become, but I think thats fine as exploring is a part of life.
