Carry Minati (Ajey Nagar) and YouTube 

Carry Minati began producing videos when he was just eight years old, in 2008-2009. He decided to start his own YouTube channel, Stealth Fearzz, in 2010, where he posted videos about football, including football tricks and tips videos. Despite the fact that he uploaded a number of videos on his YouTube channel, he did not receive a significant response from his viewers. Near the end of 2014, he decided to start a new YouTube channel called Addicted A1. He began making videos of gameplays with his commentary on his new channel. He tried to imitate Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol to attract attention and make it more interesting and amusing. 

He struggled to get enough views on his videos and new channel once again because there was only a small audience for those types of videos at the time. Later, Carry Minati or Ajey Nagar came across a YouTube channel called ‘Leafyishere’ and was blown away by the channel’s concept, idea, and gameplay. He wanted to use the same idea and style in his own videos, but with a splash of Desi masala to make them even more entertaining, relatable, and light-hearted.
