Working on a movie project at the moment, Suhail Rasool’s career in the digital realm is fast expanding. In a brief, informal interview with him, we ask him questions about his journey and experiences as an influencer.
Below is an excerpt from the same conversation:
Suhail, what would you say is the biggest roadblock and learning that your career as a digital creator gave you?
With the kind of upbringing I have, roadblocks are something that I never really noticed. I’ve always been taught to adjust your vision and avoid victimhood at all costs. The biggest learning that I got as a digital creator is to remain honest to your original intentions. Once you’ve found your ground, it becomes easy to slip in the wave of new trends. I don’t say that’s wrong, I just believe your content should remain as original as possible. And originality asks for effort.
What do you feel about your audience? Does a sense of responsibility come to you?
Of course, it does. When I first started posting content on Instagram and YouTube, my key objective was to make people happy. Someone should click on my story or reel and feel instantly better. I have been told I make people laugh a lot and there is nothing that I love more. The world always seems like it is about to fall apart, a little thrill and happiness would do wonders to it. That’s the responsibility that I have and fulfill towards my audience.
What are your future plans?
The plan is to not fit in a box. I’m working on a film project right now and have a couple other things lined up as well. I just want to explore and do as many things as possible. But I’ll never stop being a digital creator. This field has made me realize my potential and I want to remain here, and share my life with my fans. Love what you do and do what you love – this is what I literally live by.
