Content creator and internet sensation Payal Panchal wants to work on television!
Indore based content creator and entrepreneur #PayalPanchal is hit online for her comic videos. She has got over 2 million followers on Instagram and 2.97 million subscribers on YouTube. Her parents and brother are her support system and has been there for her every time she explores something new.
“When watching TV, I used to think that someday I would be able to appear on television too. Slowly time passed and after my schooling I focused on social media and started making videos on Tiktok. Making my name on social media was not easy but I never lost hope. I believe everyone should keep learning more. I feel like I have to prepare myself a bit more before I appear on TV,” she says.
Initially, along with making Tiktok videos, Payal used to do a part-time job as a receptionist and earned about Rs 4000 a month. Slowly when her followers kept increasing, her name kept growing. That’s when brand promotion and collaboration started coming.
“So I focused on creating my content and started working hard on it. There was full support of the family and with the blessings of God, now the focus is taking it further,” she continues, “Whatever I am today is because of my family, since childhood they have treated me like a princess. We cannot repay what our parents have done for us. After growing up, whatever we can do for them, we should do for our family. First of all we bought a swift and recently a Tata Harrier which is also my dream car.”
To keep the flow of good content to entertain her followers and also increase the number is quite a task. “For a content creator, their followers are everything. You should love your followers as much as your followers love you. So along with responding to their messages and comments, I keep creating good content and keep pace with changing time. Taking care of my followers is my priority. Nowadays we all are going through something or the other, so through my comedy I wish to make them smile. I am actually a versatile creator. So, apart from comedy, I have made content that is serious, sad, emotional, drama, romantic and so on,” she adds.
On her 2 million insta family, she says they are a part of her life now and that she wants to continue entertaining them. “Wherever I go, I always meet people who love my videos. It feels great to interact one-on-one with them. Every person wants only 2 things, to have some fame and some money and I have earned that with my hard work,” she smiles.
Payal’s inspiration is her brother Navin Panchal, who is also a YouTuber, choreographer and actor. “He did much work in reality shows, award shows, television series and many more. Since childhood I have seen him working hard, I have learnt this trait from him as I realised that’s the best way to be successful. Believing in yourself is also important,” she says.
Commenting on her 2.97 subscribers on YouTube, Payal reveals that 3-4 months back she had only 10k to 17k subscribers. “Since I started focusing on shorts (YouTube shorts), my subscribers have increased. Now I have got a silver button from YouTube and am working for the golden button which is given after 10 million subscribers,” she adds.
Sharing her dream, she reveals her plan of doing humanitarian work. “Before being an influencer I am a human being first. So I would always love to help needy people like small children who want to study and want to move ahead in life. As an influencer, I want to create good content and act in serials and movies, and entertain my followers,” says Payal, who enjoys sleeping during her free time.
