This is true for many others who claimed their way to being recognised and make a livelihood out of making youtube videos; especially in covid times. For Rakesh Meena, another crossdressing dancer, the money from youtube videos brought in peace with his family that initially rejected his choice of career.
Video making also grants the dancers a sort of autonomy and a space to explore their creative expression with regards to choice of music, background, cinematography, costumes. The video posted here has garnered over 10k views for dancer Chaina Meena.
