Sejal Kumar

Sejal Kumar is a name well-recognized in the pool of Youtubers today. What catches the eye is the simplicity of her personality that comes off through her social media presence. Constantly experimenting with her creative side, Sejal in a candid conversation with Smriti Raizada talks about her calling in a parallel world and how she deals with negativity on the internet.

EX: Hi Sejal! It’s been quite a journey, how have things changed from your first video, ‘Summer Style, Live from Turkey’ to your latest, #1MillionWeek videos?

SEJAL: Not a lot has changed. I am still struggling to get video ideas every week, I am still doubting myself, sometimes I am sure of myself but either way, I always try to better myself from the last video. But in terms of logistics, that’s become much easier. I have people to help me out now, there is more budget now to spend on my props and clothes.

EX: Your growth in the blogosphere has been an inspiration to many. What advice would you give to the newbie youtubers?

If you want to start a new channel or a blog, make sure you really like the work. It’s not sustainable if you start one because of peripheral reasons like popularity or CV.

EX: Who’s your Fashion icon and has she/he shaped the way you look at fashion now?

There are many actually. I really like Gigi Hadid’s style. Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra are also in my top list of people I follow and check out what they wear. I follow a lot of my fellow Youtubers too. I’ve become more experimental with what I choose to wear now looking at all of these people.
