Growing up, I idolised Madhuri Dixit. She's my favourite actress, and I used to pretend I was her all the time.
Everyone's voice should be heard when it comes to racial barriers.
Everyone can relate to the story of fighting for happiness.
A big part of depression is feeling really lonely, even if you're in a room full of a million people.
The majority of people call or message me because they need something or they want something. You never know what people's intentions are.
My inspiration comes from my real life experiences.
I swear Kim Kardashian's first marriage lasted longer than some of my iPhone chargers.
I always say that when I first started, my videos were very veered towards Indian people.
When I make my own videos, I am the writer, the editor, the lighting person, everything - that's why my videos are blurry.
I think what people like about my channel is that I am not perfect. I always point to my pimple, my bad hair day... people relate to that. They are watching somebody who is exactly like them and talking about things that they experience as well.
I was the first South Asian female to do comedy videos on YouTube. But at the same time, all races face their barriers, and I've learned through YouTube, if it's not race, it will be sexism, if it's not sexism, it will be homophobia. It will always be something, and all voices should be heard.
Growing up, I was always creatively inclined, and when YouTube came about, it was like getting the perfect platform to showcase what I wanted. Personally, I was going through a dark phase in my life, and I decided to make videos and basically go by the adage, 'If you want to cheer up yourself, go cheer up someone else.'
I'm the type of person who doesn't hope, dream or wish for things. I work and work and work.
I know one of the reasons I first started making Youtube videos was because no one looks like me.
