Who doesn’t love a good roast? …The one who’s getting roasted. But that apart, roasts and mockeries have become an integral part of the Indian comedy and entertainment scene. The AIB roast video set it off, and it slowly caught up as a trend with people (light-heartedly) bashing other people, events, content… you name it – left, right, and center. Let’s take a look at the five most famous roasters on Indian YouTube who are sure to have you doubling up with laughter.
Ajey Nagar aka CarryMinati- Who hasn’t heard of Ajey Nagar aka Carryminati? His name is almost synonymous with roasted in India. His tongue-twisting and ever-modulating words may not sound like he is mocking or insulting someone, but he is doing that and more with elan. Carry is currently the reigning king and deserves all the praise coming his way. His mastery lies in the way he tackles these topics. He doesn’t refrain from cuss words but does that with particular aesthetics. He has dealt with matters of all kinds pumping in his sense of tongue-in-cheek humor.
Mahesh Keshwala aka Thugesh- Mahesh Keshwala is a popular content creator in the comedy genre. With a loyal fan following of more than 3.47 Mn subscribers on YouTube, his channel is currently one of the most viewed in its space with 205,959,975 views. He is one of the only roasting and comedy influencers in India who makes family-friendly content. That is also the USP of his channel, as he believes if he cannot show his content to his own family, then what is the point of creating it.
Nischay Malhan aka Triggered Insaan- Triggered Insaan is a family-friendly channel doling out content regularly. His language is colloquial, and he engages in casual talk with his viewers that seems more like a direct conversation. There is no doubt that his favorite topic is pranks which are quite popular in the digital medium. He starts by introducing his issues and lets you into his world. The real deal is that he talks about anything considered funny even if it is remotely so. I, for one, love his channel and I get completely engrossed in his videos. He hosts this storytime series where he spills the beans about his personal life, sharing experiences he has been through. The best part is that he has just crossed a million on his YouTube channel.
Abhyudaya and Gautami aka Slayy Point- Abhyudaya and Gautami started their YouTube experience in 2016 by making roast, reaction, and rant videos on millennial-friendly topics. Other YouTubers with whom they have worked also include Angry Prash and Flying Beast. “Maggi will never be the same again” is their most popular video, with over 8 million views.
Tanmay Bhatt- When it comes to roasting, Tanmay Bhatt, or The AIB Guy, doesn’t need any introduction. What sets him apart from everyone else is the delivery style of his commentary while roasting. He is very popular for reacting to compilations of content that are considered cringe.
