Talking to the contestant and the audience, Big B said: “The present generation, people of his (Sagar) age and younger, they are headstrong about what to do, which field to be in. We didn’t know what to do, what not to do. Sagar, you’ve started your channel. And do you manage it yourself or do you have a team?”

Sagar said: “Sir, me and my mother manage it together. My brother also helps me create videos sometimes. But mainly, my mom helps me. If I’m the host of my channel, then my channel’s producer, director, scriptwriter, everything is my mom. She gives me ideas for creating the thumbnails. She gives me ideas on what videos to make. So, she contributes more than 50 per cent in creating these videos.”

“Yes, sir, I’m familiar with it. I was born in this era,” he said.
