Farasha Khan Sayeed shares a giggle (or many) with the overnight hit YouTube comedian Munatic
Farhana Muna aka Munatic, is gorgeous, spunky and probably the most hilarious Bangladeshi YouTuber. In her videos she depicts the plights of urban Bengali life while keeping us in stitches. She calls herself an ‘accidental You Tuber’ since she became a major hit overnight with her video ‘How Bengali Women React When You’ve Lost Weight’ with thousands of shares on Facebook that inspired her to go ahead with her YouTube channel Munatic.
She confidently claims that ‘bhaat’ (rice) is the secret behind her success. She brushes off comments like ‘YouTube is a men’s platform’ and tells women to ‘own it’ as she attributes this very attitude (not to mention her indomitable wit) towards her fame. She wants to be an inspiration to women who feel suppressed by society’s expectations of them. “When you feel like you have a chance to make an impact, why not?” says the comedian. “I want to raise my voice for those women who feel like they can’t.” Speaking of future media offers, she says, “I want to take up projects that don’t just present me as another pretty face, but instead caters to my personality.”
For 2016, Munatic looks forward to opening a separate health channel mainly due to the tremendous amount of fitness queries she gets.“I also want to be more regular with my comedy channel and put out quality content; I’m not in this for the money and have refused having ads monetising on my YouTube channel so far,” she added further.
Munatic has added a new dimension to the field of comedy, and her videos such as ‘Girlfriend vs Wife’ or ‘Boyfriend vs Husband’ has viewers belly-laughing. We wish Farhana Muna a fantastic journey ahead!
