YouTube actor turned comedian Shiva Shah Ra, known for her performance in films like Maanagaram, Meesaya Murukku and more, has now shared a serious concern on his Instagram handle. In the video, the actor can be seen lamenting about how the lack of Instagram followers has now started impacting the salary he is paid for films.
He said, "It's nearly 4 am, but I am unable to sleep. Those who reach out to me with film opportunities decide my salary based on the number of Instagram followers I have. I don't have the skill to develop my follower base on Instagram. I don't have long hair; I have an overgrown beard and body hair as well. I can't even show my bare body to bring in followers. I don't know how to make reels either. I even meditated, attempting to gain some ideas to attract followers, but in vain. I am not glamorous enough to use it to increase my follower count. Help me with ideas, please."
Shah Ra made his acting debut with Lokesh Kanagaraj's Maanagaram, before which he was known for his comic timing on the Temple Monkeys YouTube Channel. His performances in Natpe Thunai, Comali, Naan Sirithal, Oh My Kadavule and Vaathi, among others, are noted. The actor was last seen in Thanal, starring Atharvaa and Ashwin Kakumanu in lead roles.
