Viraj Ghelani is our next-door boy who is always looking for an opportunity to crack jokes and make people laugh. A proud Gujarati and a mama’s boy, he takes us through his journey of making it big in the digital entertainment industry. Coming from a family of teachers, convincing his family to get on board with his passion was one of the biggest hurdles in his life but he makes it sound like a breeze with his quirky take on the hardships. As he said, “If you’re following your passion, don’t stop until you get what you want no matter what. You need to fail to be able to succeed.” Viraj Ghelani is a digital content creator who mainly creates content for the YouTube channel “Filtercopy” which is a part of Pocket Aces. He comes from a humble background and hence, it was not an easy decision to drop out of college to follow his passion. Today, he is one of the most well-known people in the digital entertainment industry. He is an actor, writer, and comedian full of life and is famous for his comic roles in the videos. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
