At that time, I was completely unaware about Instagram and how things work on social media, she was the one who encouraged me to download the app and make an account.”

He further said, “I play acoustic guitar, but haven't gotten trained for it. I am a self-taught guitarist and it's my hobby. During that web show's shoot, I showed one of my videos where I was playing the guitar to Avneet and she was quite impressed, she asked me to post these videos on Instagram and I was like 'woh kya hota hai', that is when she made me download the app and pushed me to use it dedicatedly. Even back then, she had followers in millions.”
