Ajey Nagar, famously known as CarryMinati, is the most famous Indian Youtuber and Roaster. CarryMinati is famous for his reviews on several different topics/ Youtube videos using commentaries, comedy, and satire.
Early Life and Background
Carry was born on June 12, 1999, in Faridabad. Soon to be 21 years old, he attended his school until 2016 and dropped out without completing his Class XII, as he said he didn’t like the Economics section and move towards his Youtube career. Carry completed his education through Distance Learning.
Carry used to perform live commentary in the voice of Sunny Deol, while playing video games as well on his channel CarryDeol, during his school years .
Ajay’s Career
Carry Minati started his Youtube career in 2014 with his channel named Addicted A1 where he used to upload videos of skills and tactics in a football game. This idea didn’t turn out to be successful to him and he shifted to live streaming commentary on Counter-Strike while playing the game in the voice of Sunny Deol and the channel was therefore renamed CarryDeol.
The idea behind mimicking the commentary in Sunny Deol’s voice was to gain closeness to Indian fam and make the channel relatable to them as he said: people feel as if a Bollywood character is playing the game.
While preparing for his exams, he once came across a video and felt a need for posting a review video/ roast video on the same, and there started his roasting career.
Carry Minati posted various videos criticizing the videos of other famous YouTubers such as Bhuvan Bam. He also recently published a video “Youtube v/s Tiktok” that gained much user attention and increased his fanbase and subscribers.
Carry Minati, therefore, has two Youtube channels namely: CarryMinati with 20 Million subscribers and CarryisLive with 5.25 million subscribers. Total views on his channel are CarryMinati with 1.29 billion views (more credits to Youtube v/s Tiktok video) and CarryisLive with 494 million views.

He is after all not just one of the most popular and successful YouTubers in India but also celebrated across the world.
CarryMinate net worth in 2020 should be around $4 million.

CarryMinati’s “Characters”
Carry includes certain made-up characters to add more fun to his roasting videos. These are :
- Tau : CarryMinati does the voice of an old man that he calls Tau. Tau often features in Carry’s videos and is a fan favorite. His mustache moves whenever he speaks.
- Mohit : He has a boy named Mohit who is with him and Carry tasks him with playing the outro music. He is another fan favorite.
- Mundal : Mundal is a little kid voiced by Carry. He tends to get annoyed when people don’t remember his name the second time. He appears once every 2-3 videos.
Controversial : Youtube v/s Tiktok Video
CarryMinati in response to Amir Siddiqui’s video criticizing the Youtubers for mimicking Tiktok content created another video “Youtube v/s Tiktok Video: End”.
CarryMinati took Amir’s video quite personally and used each of his statements in his video to roast from making satirical comments to criticizing his English grammar.
The video received criticism from some other Tiktokers and was eventually removed from Youtube as it depreciated the rights of the LGBT community as their category was used for roasting.
But from another perspective, the video received much support from Youtube fans and sensations leading to the popularity of hashtags such as #CarryMinatiRoastVideo and #JUSTICEFORCARRY to trend on Twitter. This also led to a decrease in the rating of Tiktok on play store to nearly 1.4 .
Records Broken by the viral video “Youtube Vs Tik Tok : End” :
- Highest numbers of subscribers gained in 24 hours – 1.8 Million
- Fastest Video to Reach 1 million likes in first 1.5 hr

Life goes on :
After Carry’s controversial video was pulled down on Youtube, it though was a disheartening moment but rather than making it take a toll over him, Carry stood up for himself and shared another video clarifying his idea behind the video, he has not only gained the support of general fan base but famous Youtubers as well like Bhuvan Bam, Harsh Beniwal etc. Carry will remain the most supported and famous Youtuber and we wish to see more of his videos go live soon.
