In the latest episode of Tere Gully Mein, we spent a day with popular Uttar Pradesh’s most loved content creator, Kapil Kanpuriya. He took us around Kanpur, showing us some of the city’s most famous spots and its best street food. During the evening, he took us to a calm place near the river and revealed the moment that changed his life forever. Scroll down to know the special moment in his life.
Kapil Kanpuriya’s Life-Changing Moment
Standing near the river, Kapil stated that calmness is the only thing a person needs in life. Moving forward with the conversation, when asked about the time he first noticed that his life had started changing. Giving a reply to the question, Kapil said, “Lockdown. Thanks to lockdown, opportunities khuli mere liye. My friends told me to make videos. They told me that whatever I was posting on my Instagram stories, I should now turn them into videos.”
The content creator said that at one time he wasn’t too sure about the career change and had thoughts like, “Mere videos kon dekhage re. Yeh dosto ko toh dikhate dete hai, Vande Bharat mein aagye hain badhiya plane ka dibba lag ra hai. Flight mein jaa rahe hain toh bol rhe hai Bhagalpur railway station hain, Delhi airport ko. Mumbai airport ko bolte dekho Patna kitna develop hogya hain.”
(Who will watch my videos? I usually show them to my friends. On the Vande Bharat train, it feels like we’re in a great aeroplane. While travelling via flight, I used to refer to Delhi airport as Bhagalpur railway station, and then looking at Mumbai airport, we said see how much Patna has developed).
He used to post stories on this and never thought people would like this.

Struggles After Leaving Job
Kapil Kanpuriya said that when he posted his first video as a reel, he got around 40-45 views and even then, he got excited. He used to have a six-figure salary, but later chose a profession where even a four-figure salary was not fixed. When he left his job, he struggled and was afraid to step out of his comfort zone. He used to wonder what would happen if his videos or acting career didn’t work out. But later, he thought, “Hum bhi reh lenge, yaar.”
He would see people riding rickshaws or running tea stalls, and thought, why not give it a try? Something might work out for him.
