Ms.Namita Nayyar
You are also set to make your Bollywood debut with “Nikkamma”, share your experience on the first day at sets?
Ms.Shirley Setia:
Nikamma is my Bollywood debut and the first day on set was actually super fun, we started off with a song and that was my first ever experience of doing a proper Bollywood number. All my inner memories of when I watched films in a cinema as a kid, even as a teenager when I used to watch Bollywood movies.
Just that feeling of, wow this is going to be me soon, it was quite an experience and it was just really fun, the entire team was super fun. I just had a really good time shooting, I can’t speak a lot about Nikamma yet but whenever I’m able to talk more, I’d love to chat more about it with you guys.
Ms.Namita Nayyar:
Your YouTube the channel is full of melody and positive vibes, it also gives viewers and your fans an insight into your life, which is your favourite video on your YouTube channel
Ms.Shirley Setia:
I try and maintain a very positive outlook on my channel and my fans do get a little bit of an insight into my life but I’ve tried to keep that work and life balance going on. I’m trying to maintain it in a way, wherein my there’s a little bit of separation so that when I’m not working it should feel like I’m not working, it shouldn’t always feel like that I have these things left to do for my video.
I should have a little bit of that balance and that’s what I’m trying to keep and maintain, I don’t know how it’s going to happen or how it’ll shape up in the future but let’s see. I don’t think I can choose a favourite video on my channel, I do a lot of different content on my channel and initially, I used to do only covers and then I drifted to originals, I also did some originals with speed records and I’ve done a couple of songs with T-Series and I’ve also done Jab Koi Baat with Venus.
I also do a lot of dance content on my channel cause I love dancing, I also do a little bit of Q&A, I’ve also done a makeup videos, which is something I might explore more because I love makeup too. I feel like through all these little aspects people are learning more about me and about the things that I like to do because there’s more to me than just music.
All of these little things are also a huge part of my life. It’s really nice to be able to express and do what you like doing and put it out on YouTube, but it’s not always rosy. Everyone won’t like your content and there’s always a lot of trolls online and on social media.
The important part is to believe in yourself and your content and if you like it and are doing it for yourself, whatever the trolls say should not matter to you. Sometimes you do feel bad, but you have to look at the bigger picture and see why you were doing in the first place.
You realise it was never for those trolls, it’s always been for yourself or your fans, the people who love your work. It’s been really good and I actually like everything that I post.
