In a conversation with Forbes India, Bhabhda talks about her journey in content creation, growing competition, brand collaborations and more. Edited excerpts:
Q. How and when did you start your journey?
A lot of people don’t know this, but I started very young, in 2016, while I was in school. Growing up, I didn’t have many friends. The one friend dear to me was the camera, and I loved acting and recording myself on it. While making videos for fun, I was doing multiple things—I was also studying to become a lawyer, I was a video jockey, and I hosted live shows. Through all this, I realised that I love the idea of having the freedom to create content and make people smile. After I completed five years of studying law, I had two options—I could either continue with a career in law or with content creation and see where it goes. I chose the latter and it has been amazing since.
