She also hosts India's first parenting original podcast on Jio Saavn. Her debut book, The Parents I Met, is an anthology of her conversations with parents of successful individuals who made it big against all odds. Excerpt:
*You have to listen to what they want. And you have to take risks — I did. And you must give them a chance to do what they want. Because if you don’t, then you will be the reason why they’ll regret some things in their life.’ Instagram: https://www.instagram. com/ujjwalgamer/ https://www.instagram.com/techno_ gamerz/
Ujjwal Chaurasia is one of the most famous gamers in India. He is Delhi-based and has three YouTube channels and they, combined, have a subscriber count of 480 lakh.
One of his Instagram handles, ‘Techno Gamerz’, has 33.5 million subscribers. He was announced as the Best Gaming Creator at the Streamy Awards in 2020 and in 2021, was featured in Forbes India’s ‘30 Under 30’ list.
His mother, Usha Chaurasia, is a homemaker, and his father, Vijay Chaurasia, is a shopkeeper.
Ujjwal’s inclusion in the book was inspired by the many worried mothers whose children aspire to become gamers like Ujjwal. His name popped into my head when I was researching role models or careers for my book — careers that exist that we, as parents, don’t understand the value of.
Ujjwal was one of two sons born into a middle-class family. He grew up in Delhi with his mother, who ran a small boutique, and his father, who ran a small shop.
