Can you share the story of how you began your career as a content creator? What inspired you to start blogging and creating videos?
Neetu: My father passed away when I was 11 years old, and we are four siblings raised by my mother alone. So, I was constantly looking for ways to support my family. Initially, I tried my hands at businesses like event management. However, it didn’t work out in my favour. Then, I started to make short videos on TikTok, and I received excellent traction. However, after TikTok was banned, I moved to creating videos on YouTube in a longer format on viewer demand. My journey as a creator started in 2019 when I gained valuable experience and built a strong presence in the digital space.

What motivated you to venture into the gaming industry? Was there a particular moment or game that sparked this interest?
Neetu: Honestly, I’ve always enjoyed gaming. I used to play on my phone just for fun. But it was only recently that I thought of picking it up more seriously since I really enjoyed exploring and trying new games. I also realised that this could actually be a different career option since there are still very few women making it to the top in the gaming space. Over the years, I have gained recognition as a creator, and I finally have the chance to chase my dream as a gamer and make it a reality!

I just focus on enjoying the game and creating good content. I believe gaming is for everyone, and as long as I’m having fun and improving, that’s all that matters!

How do you balance creating content for both your traditional vlogs and gaming streams? Do you integrate elements from both into your content?
Neetu: I keep both my vlogs and gaming content separate because they have different audiences and styles. My vlogs focus more on lifestyle, fashion, and daily life, while my gaming content is all about having fun in the gaming world. I want to give my best to both without mixing them, so each type of content stays unique and enjoyable for the right audience!

What gaming setup and equipment do you prefer for your streams? Any recommendations for beginners?
Neetu: For my gaming setup, I prefer a smooth and efficient system with a good PC, a high-quality microphone, and a comfortable headset. A good webcam also helps improve the stream quality.
