Before I was putting my life out there on the internet to share it with everyone, everything I did since I was a kid led me to where I am today.

 

I am born and brought up in Guwahati, Assam and I belong to a family where I’ve always had the liberty to follow my passion. My parents are my inspiration and they are my constant support system since the first day of my journey as a content-creator. What I am today is all because of them.


As a kid, I was a very happy-go-lucky kind of a person and I always had big dreams. But adolescence brought in a lot of challenges for me. Growing up, I was constantly body-shamed for being too skinny and for having acne breakouts on my face. The constant jeering led me to feel insecure about how I looked. The negative remarks affected me to the core for quite some time and I eventually started to stay away from people or from attending any social gatherings.


Days passed by with the same feeling, but one fine morning, I just decided I didn’t want to feel like that anymore. I don't know what exactly changed my mind. I forced myself to cut off all the negativity.

That’s the moment I decided to do something extra, and worthwhile with my life.


I always had keen interest in Makeup, Skincare & DIY projects but I didn't know anything about content-creation.


It was in the year 2018, that my cousin told me about how I could turn my passion into a profession. I didn't think twice and I shot a video, uploaded it on YouTube and posted some pictures on Instagram. Since then, I've been very constant and serious about my work. I’ve never looked back since.


My Instagram is a place for me to document the everyday stories of my life. It’s a visual diary for me to share my experiences, success and failures. By sharing these stories, I hope to connect people to my life, to my experiences. My goal is to inspire everyone to do more beyond the app.


It’s been an absolutely amazing journey of 2.5 years, full of new experiences. I currently have 22.3k followers on Instagram and I have worked with more than 40+ brands so far. As beauty and skincare are my focus, I speak a lot about affordable beauty products & home remedies.

I never thought this little hobby and community would become such a huge part of my life and it’s only possible because of my Instagram and YouTube family who have loved and supported my work and so much.
 

I had no guidance, everything I learned were from internet research. To get where I am today has been a lot of hard work, dedication and lack of sleep. But it’s all been worth it; I am still learning and I’ve miles to go.

 

A little about my Personal life:


I’ve done my post-graduation and I’m currently pursuing B.Ed., as my ultimate aim in life is to educate, guide and inspire underprivileged boys and girls. I’m also an animal lover and would love to associate with NGO’s that work for the strays and abandoned animals. But wherever I reach in life, I’ll never stop sharing my journey on Instagram and YouTube.

 

A few advices to anyone who wants to become a successful creator : 

 

• Don’t focus on being successful on Instagram. Focus on being successful in life  and share those experiences, both the wins and the losses.

• Use Instagram to showcase yourself, your passions, and your experiences.

• Focus on your real-life goals, and remember that you have a life "beyond the 'gram".
