Everything still seems unreal and a miracle to me. I was very disappointed when initially my vlog channel did not live up to my expectations.

Living in the hills all my life, I started this campaign to give a glimpse of Pahari life. This particular idea/campaign changed my life. I am very grateful to my audience for accepting the real me.

Controversy

Neon Man posted the video on his channel after watching a video by a vlogger named ‘Gora Vlogger’ where Gora said that he went to meet Sourav outside his house, but Sourav did not greet him well. Sourav commented on the video posted by Neon and said that he did not tell the whole story and tried to defame him. Apparently, Sourav claimed that he was taking his mother to the dentist when he walked into the Gora Vlogger. Neon replies to Sourav and says that he is just doing his job. Later, Sourav deleted the comments on Neon’s video. After some time, another vlogger named Manoj Dey commented on Neon Man’s video saying that Sourav had also been rude to him.
