Commenting on the same, he says, "There has been a lot of talk and chatter regarding youtube vs Tiktok and I just wanted to create something which people can relate to, is topical and light hearted. That being said, I’m a firm believer of good content irrespective of the platform. We as content creators and the audiences as well, are lucky that so many new avenues have opened up for good content. Opportunities too are aplenty and that is the most important. We must support and applaud good content and encourage more people to come up with it rather than discuss platforms.”
