People used to DM and comment on our reels saying how much they loved the content,” he shares what initiated the journey.
Both Rahul and Meenakshi ideate and write the script for the reels. “People want to see both of us together. Whenever we put the reels together, we get more views and comments and good reactions,” he adds.
Recently, their Girl To Woman reel is among the top 10 most viewed reels in the world. “We never thought that this reel would go viral and get 120 million views. When we checked the stats we have reached the top 10 most viewed reels on Instagram in the world and that feels great.
