The narrow lanes of Purani Delhi become Dushyant Kukreja’s playground in the latest episode of Tere Gully Mein by Curly Tales. Between bites of fluffy chole bhature, plates of aloo puri, and crunchy kachoris, the creator swaps food recommendations for something more personal: the constant debate around his content and the people who love calling it “cringe”.
Dushyant Kukreja Responds To Being Called ‘Cringe’
Dushyant Kureja has heard the label enough times to know exactly what he thinks of it. And no, he isn’t losing sleep over it.
For him, the criticism misses one obvious detail, which is his audience. “Cringe” is not a word directed only at him, he suggests. If someone is mocking his videos, they are also mocking the nearly five crore people who willingly spend time watching them. That’s the part he finds strange.
After all, content doesn’t rack up millions of views because one person keeps replaying it. An audience that size exists because people find something in it, whether that’s entertainment, relatability, or simply a reason to laugh for a few seconds while scrolling.
At one point, he jokingly remarks that if he were to tell those five crore viewers that someone is calling them cringe for enjoying his videos, “toh woh unki aisi taisi kar denge”.

Dushyant Kukreja Opens Up About Online Hate
He views much of the negativity as jealousy rather than genuine concern. That’s why he refuses to give it too much space in his head. His maths is simple: if 90% of people are enjoying what he creates and only 10% aren’t, why obsess over the minority? The support, he says, is impossible to ignore.
And then comes the condition that many of his critics may not expect. Dushyant isn’t arguing that all criticism is invalid. If his content were abusive, vulgar, offensive to a community, or crossed the line into something genuinely distasteful, he says he would accept being called ‘cringe’.
But as long as he’s entertaining people, earning from his work, receiving positive feedback, and staying within those boundaries, he sees little reason to let anonymous comments dictate how he creates.
