00:00But I have to ask you this. In your videos, you often insult people.
00:06Ma'am, whenever I roast someone, first of all, we always take permission.
00:11Even if they're trolling a person, that person is still getting fame.
00:19And also, Carry, your real name is Ajay Nagar, if I'm right?
00:23Ajay Nagar, yes ma'am.
00:24So how did you become Carry Minati?
00:27Ma'am, I know, whenever someone thinks like this, they think it's an Englishman with blue eyes.
00:31And when they see this, they get a little disappointed.
00:34In 2015, this name came to my mind. Before that, my channel's name was Carry Dheol.
00:40Carry Dheol.
00:41Because he used to make the sound of Sunny Dheol, so I thought, what could be more perfect than this?
00:45Carry Dheol.
00:46So then later, it just came to my mind, how will Carry Minati's name be?
00:52It doesn't mean anything.
00:54It doesn't mean anything. It's just that a 15-year-old kid thinks this name is very cool, and he kept it.
00:58Tell us a little about your journey, Carry.
01:01How much has your content evolved since the beginning?
01:06Ma'am, I evolved like a Pokemon.
01:08Just like Pikachu turns into Raichu, I'm on the stage of Raichu right now.
01:12I want to go even further now.
01:13In 2014, I thought that I would take YouTube seriously.
01:17So then, I used to record video games and put them on YouTube.
01:21And then my views used to come, I think, one or two, which were my own.
01:26I have told my friends, please subscribe to the channel.
01:30I'm playing a game, I'm meeting online friends there.
01:32I tell them, please subscribe to the channel.
01:36Get 30 subscribers, do something, please.
01:39So this system used to work first.
01:41Then I think slowly, slowly, slowly, then I started imitating Sunny Dheol.
01:45Oi, what are you doing? Come with me.
01:48So I used to imitate Sunny Dheol's voice and talk to people in video games.
01:52So their funny reactions used to come, I used to record them and put them on YouTube.
01:55Now slowly, slowly, I think in 2016, I started doing roasting.
02:00So I think slowly, slowly, slowly, we have evolved to this stage where I do skits, I do music and roasting is going on.
02:08But I have to ask you this, in your videos, you are often insulting people.
02:14So what would you say to those people who say that you are an online bully and things like that?
02:21Ma'am, whenever I roast someone or do something, first of all, we always take permission.
02:27That the other person should know that we are making a video on him.
02:30And if that person is familiar with me, then he will know what kind of content I have, what it is.
02:36And obviously, he can check out.
02:37So as long as there is no permission, we don't make videos.
02:40And the second thing, as far as I have seen, the reaction of people is mostly positive.
02:46That even if they are trolling that person, that person is still getting fame, still getting that audience.
02:55With which he can maybe show more of his content.
02:58So there is definitely a push from iVood.
03:01So I don't think as such, there is no negative impact.
03:04Rather than that, I think there is a positive impact.
03:06Would you agree that female content creators have more trouble reading their comments than male content creators?
03:15Ma'am, I feel that being a creator, regardless of the gender, everyone has their own challenges.
03:22I think the problem comes here when parents don't support you.
03:26Then they go online and read such comments about their child badly.
03:34So they feel bad.
03:35And then they tell their child, what are you doing?
03:37People are talking about you like this, what are you doing? Stop it.
03:40So I think this is a challenge that every creator faces irrespective of gender.
03:47One thing I think is that being a male creator, I have a comfort zone that I can look very stupid.
03:56That is okay with the society.
03:58But on the other hand, if there is a girl who wants to do this, then society has a lot of objections there.
04:05And I would say that, as I have read the comments, I have seen that in the comment section of female creators,
04:13only girls are trolling them.
04:15Exactly.
04:16That is a next level thing for me.
04:19But when you see offensive abuses on the content of your female colleagues, like rape threats and all,
04:26what is your reaction?
04:28Ma'am, it is very disturbing for me.
04:30I don't find anything worse than rape.
04:34If I could do anything in this country, if I had any superpower, then it would be my superpower to stop these things on rapes.
04:42Ma'am, a person gets disturbed from within when a person reads these things.
04:48So it's very disturbing for me.
04:50Of course.
04:50Tell me about your funniest and meanest comments so far.
04:56I went live on Instagram.
04:58A person would comment there,
05:00Bro, you have a lot of talent. Please open a YouTube channel.
05:05When you have been doing a profession for 6 years, then someone tells you, do this, it will look great.
05:11Mean comments come in such a way that I can't speak.
05:13I can't speak. How do mean comments come?
05:16But I think it's a part that mean comments will come, good comments will come, funny comments will come.
05:22I think that's the whole base of social media.
05:28I think that's the whole base of social media.
05:30I think that's the whole base of social media.
05:32I think that's the whole base of social media.
