Good to see a young speaker at TED platform.

[@Jony4947]

Nowadays only those who hv good background can become popular youtuber because they are financially independent with their parents and moreover they do whatever they want. A poor guy like me even if i want to become popular youtuber also don't even hv money to buy camera lol 😂

[@siyaverma9194]

@Hamad Irshad so true

[@KingCrow404]

@Hamad Irshad yeah but if you have bad quality phone camera, people are definelty gonna click away, and if the audio is not good, then people are also gonna click away

[@mehmood020]

[@Chetan_youtube]

Tedx in other countries be like: how to find who you are. Tedx india be like: how to start a you tube channel.

[@satishraikwal7902]

👍👍

[@davinderkaur1724]

True af!!!

[@vallybaskar]

Rightly said, more so to prove that India is an ulta country in many aspects than one, at the end of the day she gave up commerce and learnt video making ...so what’s in it worth hyping this much about?

[@shaziapalekar9537]

Vally Baskar I think the thing worth hyping is that she chose to follow her calling and decided to do something that she felt was right for her. Something that a lot of people from our country and elsewhere dont really have the liberty/courage of doing :)

[@Chetan_youtube]

Calm doen everyone. it wasn't about sejal. It was about tedx. No one is blaming her .

[@lynn.s6781]

Come to Manipal University, Manipal!!!!❤️❤️❤️🥺

[@Seisha-Eagle]

[@himansunayak6073]

l love your spirit... keep it up

[@sanjnasanjiv9572]

I came here to know about the journey of a girl, just a year older than me and who has made her mark already. I just recently got to know about her and I am immensely proud of her, because she has the guts to do what most Indians wouldn't. Like she said, her college-mates kept talking about her, how she was a commerce student and she still pursued a creative stream. In India, it is almost taboo to be a part of the arts. It's like nobody is respected if they choose arts. But if you choose engineering or medicine, you are given all the respect in the world, even if the person took up either stream by paying lakhs for it. Why? Because this person shows "intellect". And I thought this sort of a mindset was changing. But then I read the comments and I was shocked at how so many people thought she was speaking nonsense, and that she was a bad influence. If Sejal has made money through KZbin and she is doing so very well, just as well as any real (read: somebody who actually got in college because of merit and not because of Papa ka paisa) engineer or doctor then why isn't she given the same respect? Like she said, she is a self-made person. It is commendable that she was able to direct herself and motivate herself, and not wait for a boss to give her targets for her job (which would have been the case if she had joined a traditional desk-job). It's easy to work as a doctor or an engineer - get orders and work on them, like a machine on an assembly line. Sejal could have easily become a world famous KZbinr, but the fact is that there are always going to be a lot of haters and jealous people in India who will not provide her with support just because she's doing something they cannot. However, Indians will view Dhinchak Pooja videos or make a girl famous just because she winked because these are things they can. The same people who say that this video is useless or non-productive will not say that on Dhinchak Pooja videos or whatever. They will instead write, "LOL, make more of these!" For once, let's start appreciating people who really put effort into their work and not people who just try to be rich in any way possible.

[@shivaleeghadi]

Sanjna Sanjiv well said ! I totally agree with you ! There’s so much of effort and creativity that goes into producing videos for KZbin !

[@mihirbapat]

Sanjna Sanjiv...u are right

[@arti7604]

Its easy to be doctor or engineer acha . I cringed on you😈 .

[@sariyachone7905]

I agree

[@banibakshi2512]

Right

[@lailaabuwani8134]

God bless u sejal .. The last point - made me laugh really hard.. :)

[@HareKrishnakrishnaharexyz]

This is another example of being yourself 🇮🇳

[@rebecahgorla8867]

Amazing girl!!
