Laugh Out Loud with Aiyyo Shraddha's Quirky Characters!

You know when I say "aiyyoo" these days, everyone's like, "Oh, you mean 'Aiyyo Shraddha'!" Shraddha Jain has totally trademarked that phrase, but let me tell you, she's such an inspiration to so many people. She's got this awesome creator talent for making funny vines about important stuff! Originally from South Karnataka, she began her entertainment career as a radio jockey for Fever 104 FM, a famous radio company. Her acting journey started with the web series Pushpavalli, where she played the memorable cantankerous PG owner Vasu.

Later, Shraddha made her film debut in the movie Doctor G, and she even hosted a TV show! Not just that, she's also known for releasing audiobooks. To put it simply, she's an all-rounder in her creative field.

Oh, you won't believe her story! She was actually a software analyst before becoming a successful content creator.

“ I create content I am comfortable showing my family.”

Oh, you know what Shraddha's first viral video was? It was the one where she's making aglio olio pasta with parmesan, and in the video, she plays her father's character too. It's hilarious because her dad wonders why the pasta is so dry and doesn't have any gravy (gassi), so he ends up eating it with sambar! It got so popular,

You know, Shraddha's dad, Vardhaman Jain, plays a special role in her life. He's not just her first audience; he's also her first critic. His laughter means a lot to her, and it's like a seal of approval for her comedic creations. He's been there from the beginning, supporting and cheering her on!

It's crazy how things changed for her when the Tulu-speaking community found Shraddha Jain! They realised she was like a long-lost friend who totally gets them, their unique quirks, and speaks their language with all the native humour and expressive facial cues that really hit home. They instantly connected with her and felt like she was one of their own!

It's her hometown, Karkala, which is around 60 km from Mangaluru, that ignited her inner humour talent. She spent two months there every summer, and her parents made sure to attend all the weddings, family gatherings, and temple events. That gave her a front-row seat to village life, and what's really cool is that she had both an outsider's perspective and an insider's deep connection with the place. That's where she gets all those hilarious insights and relatable moments that make her content so awesome!

“ Marathis love my Mrs Kulkarni and Tuluvas love Malathi akka, which is great. All of them or variations are now part of my Indian Makaan Matching series, through which I’m trying to cater to a wider audience.”

Okay, let me tell you about her most popular characters! One of them is Malathi akka, who's like your everyday woman from Dakshina Kannada and Udupi (that's ooru). She talks about everything from kids not being able to come home for festivals to all the juicy gossip from wedding feasts. People absolutely love her!

And then there's Genius Janaki, another fan favourite. She does these super funny two-five minute comedy sets in Tulu, Kannada, Hindi, and English. I mean, she's a language champ! And sometimes, just to add some extra flavour, she throws in some Marathi, a nod to her good ol' days in Mumbai.

With such versatile characters and her multilingual talent, it's no wonder why she's gained such a massive following and become such a hit!

“I think it clicked because I had the first mover advantage. All those characters reside in me, I’ve seen them, interacted with them.”

You won't believe it, but her content is just timeless! It has this magic that can attract an audience at any time. Even if we go back and watch her videos again, it feels like it's the first time we're seeing them - that's how good they are!

And get this, she's got a massive following on Instagram with 845k followers and on YouTube with 401k subscribers. Impressive, right? People just love her!

Oh, and here's the coolest part! She actually got to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bengaluru last February. When they met, you know what the Prime Minister's first word to her was? "Aiyyo!" How awesome is that?

So what can content creators learn from her!

1. Never forget your roots: No matter where life takes you, embrace your language and stay connected to your cultural heritage. It adds a special touch to your content and helps you connect with your audience.

2. Don't be afraid to try new things: Experiment with different content formats, languages, or types of content. Being versatile and unique can really work in your favour.

3. Be yourself: When you express your true self, people can relate to you on a deeper level, and that's how you build a strong and loyal audience.

4. Stay open to feedback: Embrace feedback, both positive and constructive. Listen to what your audience is saying, and use it to improve your content.

5. Keep evolving and learning: Lastly, be open to learning and growing. The online landscape is always changing, so stay curious and keep updating your skills to stay relevant.
