Krutika, better-known through her social media take care of @themermaidscales, is the one Indian influencer to have attended the lately held premiere of the movie Barbie in Los Angeles, USA. With over 7 million fans, the influencer, who specialises in comedy sketches, was once “excited” to be the only real consultant of her nation at the match. “I grew up watching Barbie movies and found them magical. As an adult, getting to relive that experience at a global event felt amazing and very special,” says Krutika, who continues to be in the USA.
The Mumbai-based woman took her step into the arena of content material founding right through her faculty days: “When I started out, I wasn’t creating videos, but posting outfit pictures. I remember waking up at 5am, getting ready and travelling to different aesthetic spots in and around Mumbai to find the most photogenic locations. But then, I started making funny sketches and that worked well for me.”
The 24-year-old, who’s now a full-time content material author, by no means got down to grow to be Insta well-known. “It happened organically. I don’t even know how this happened. I woke up one day and a video had done well. People were commenting, ‘We love you and your videos’,” she stocks.
As any person with a large social media presence, trolling is certain to be part of her while. Ask how she offers with on-line bullies or trolls, and Krutika says, “Yes, I do receive bad comments. I feel there are always people in your life — internet trolls, relatives or friends — who’d say mean things. But the way I deal with them is to scroll away and ignore them. I believe in shrugging away the hate.”
