When I started my journey, I had no guide or influencer friend to motivate me. I was alone. & I started to grow on my own. After some of my work, people started saying like… “Free ka product mil jata hai.. free ka khana, etc.” But they don’t try to know the actual hard work I have done. Also, my Instagram reach was very less. Gradually I grew up then; people also started supporting and loving me.
