I am a big fan of the YouTube platform. I watch podcasts a lot. It is very informative as well as entertaining. I feel, YouTube has become more powerful than television. I recently watched an interview of legendary Bollywood actor Raza Murad. Raza was a great actor of his time and he has worked with superstars of his time like Raaj Kumar and Rajesh Khanna. I heard him talking about his era and his experiences of sharing screen space with legends. Once I heard Harsha Bhogle talking about his rise and rise as the best cricket commentator of India.
Another Bollywood actor-turned -motivational speaker Ashish Vidyarthi’s blog is very inspiring. He talks about his life, journey and food on a regular basis. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan too started his channel. Former Indian cricketers Akash Chopra and Harbhajan Singh also have their platform on YouTube.
