Social media influencer and content creator turned actress Prajakta Koli participated on the grand stage of Sahitya Aaj Tak 2024. Today, Prajakta is also an actor, creator and climate changer. So which tag does he like? Prajakta told that I like to be called a creator the most. I feel more carefree than I have since then. It will be ten years in the coming month of February. Mostly I remain mostly sane. If things happen nearby, I stay away for a while.
Don’t quit, keep trying.
After this, Prajakta was questioned by the audience present there and asked that in the life span of content creation, did something ever happen when you thought that this content would go viral but it did not happen. So you might have thought that I would quit.
Prajakta said- I started content creation in 2015. That moment had come in two and a half years. At that time a little ego had also come in. Where did I start unplanned, I thought that it will be done by doing it, I will do it by doing it. Had become a little overconfident. Then in 2017 I thought that no, this is not that game. I have uploaded 600-700 videos so far, and I don’t think more than 10 have gone viral. I can count on my hands. He was beaten a lot, he was going to be beaten too. In 2017 I understood that if you understand then life will be solved. So you have to keep trying.
Novel ‘Too Good To Be True’ will be released soon
Prajakta said- I like brown eyes and dimples from the beginning. My fiance Vrishank and the book publisher both have brown eyes and dimples. Nothing inspires more than this from films. I don’t think there is anything more difficult than writing a book. When I started, it required a lot of discipline, a lot of patience, I didn’t think I would be able to do it, but I did it while doing it.
How did you break the barrier of being a woman?
When I started, I was 20 years old, so I didn’t think anything of it. Neither did I understand, at that time the internet was not like it is now. Understanding was even less, so it was not even in my mind what people would think. There was never any discussion in my house about what people would say, what the society would say. It was partly the effect of my upbringing. Now after doing this, I understood that no one is a bigger cheerleader than yourself. I have been here for ten years, it has taken a lot of time, but I am very happy. Was in delusion but more obsession.
How did the idea of YouTube platform come about?
I was a radio intern, it didn’t occur to me at all. I met Sudeep, who was then working somewhere else, at the radio station. Then Bang Bang was released, and Hrithik Roshan came to the studio, I was a big fan of his. So I did a video with him, after which Sudeep asked me have you ever thought about YouTube videos. It started from there.
chose work over fiance
Prajakta Koli does not even want to mention her first video. She says he is very useless. Let us tell you, his video on Types of People on Valentine’s Day was the first video. When Prajakta was asked what she was more excited about – a mismatch or marrying her best friend? Prajakta told that at the moment she is more excited about her series, and her fiance Vrishank also knows this. Because it is going to be released on 13th December.
She misses looking at the back camera while acting.
Prajakta also told what she likes most – working on the instructions of directors or creating content with her own freedom? The actress said- Both have different fun. There is indeed a lot of freedom in creating content, but there is a lack of perspective in it. Because you are doing it alone. The real fun of working with a director is that you only think about acting, the rest gets done for you with some help. There’s a lot of thinking involved but then I miss going behind the camera and seeing what’s happening. So I can’t choose.
When Prajakta felt it and started leaving
Prajakta told that he had done a video – ‘Common Words Used by Dailies’. I was born in Mumbai but my mother is from Delhi. So I was at my grandmother’s house when that video became a big hit. Then I thought that now I have come out. Along with this, Prajakta told that she also used to do theater and her first salary was Rs 250.
Prajakta told when she will return to the YouTube channel. The actress said- Actually, some time ago when I was doing it, it was becoming very exciting and challenging. I was 21 then, now I am 31. But as time changed, I started wondering how many years I would continue to make sketches. I want to write something else, a show, a book or something. More time was needed for that, so I took my steps back. But, I cannot say whether the videos of every week will come back or not but one video will definitely come.
There is friendship among YouTubers
Prajakta told that there may be competition but everyone maintains great friendship among themselves. Now there is an audience for everyone. So everyone works together, because it is respected that everyone has their own perspective. YouTubers have to work very hard. The kind of work I am getting to do, I didn’t think I would get to do. I am so happy wherever I am. If anyone thinks, hey, how did he get it? So think whatever you want because I have worked very hard.
Prajakta told that till date I have never processed that so many milestones have come. I’m not going to do that when whatever has to happen comes. Life itself brings me down to earth. Many times such things have happened where I am very happy that today something wonderful has happened but then some fan pops up or the challan is deducted. So I immediately come back to my reality. I have never been able to be proud because my parents or my friends immediately bring me down to earth and say, enough is enough.
How do you handle negativity?
Prajakta said- I think this is very important. Because you don’t get immediate feedback. Good comments definitely come, but it is also important to know what you are doing and what people are not liking. What doesn’t seem to be working? I take it like salt which helps you grow. But if it’s just coming from hatred then I don’t pay attention to it. Because my audience is very good.
What is the right age for marriage?
A woman got into an argument with Prajakta during the question and answer session and said that why are you getting married so late, seeing you all the girls say that they are not getting married. Now if you want to do this or that, then what is the right age for marriage? Prajakta said- whenever he feels like it. There is no right age for marriage. Despite this, when the woman answered the question, the actress said, isn’t your daughter doing it? So the woman said no, she gives your example. Prajakta said that ma’am, I would just say that whether your age is 31 or 42, you should get married only when you feel like it, rest you can talk to your daughter. I can’t help you in this.
Prajakta Koli likes content creator Bhuvan Bam very much. With this she said that everyone thinks that I get cast only because of my followers but it is not so, I give auditions.
