"I realised at times even I drag my friends, family members in my videos and ask them to say things, even though at times they feel out of place!" he laughed. As a social media influencer, Ankush has around 894,000 followers on Instagram and he, like many others, is earning money as a content creator. However, Ankush said that it is still hard to convince his parents and grandparents' generation that digital content creation is a legit profession.

"Firstly no one looks at it as a profession so the brainstorming happens to create the content, the hard work goes behind it, no one sees that. Also, I think even though our parents somehow understand a bit of it, they still do not understand the game of monetising content. Since they have not grown up with social media, they still wonder how the money is coming from the video. They often ask who is giving salary for these videos, but they do not understand that we can earn money without having a salaried job!" Ankush pointed out. The short film 'Badboli Bhavna', directed by Pranjal Dua, also featuring Apoorva Arora, is streaming on Amazon miniTV.
