CHILDHOOD & FAMILY BACKGROUND:
Ajey Nagar was born on 12 June 1999 in Faridabad, Haryana, to a simple, middle-class Hindu family.
His father works in a private job
His mother is a homemaker
He has an elder brother, Yash Nagar, a well-known music producer (“Wily Frenzy”) — someone who later played a big role in his music journey.
Growing up, Ajey was introverted, shy, and spent most of his time indoors. Unlike other kids, he was never too interested in outdoor sports or social activities. What fascinated him from a young age were:
Computers
Video games
Internet culture
Online videos
Mimicking voices
By age 8–10, technology had already become his best friend.
🎮 EARLY INTEREST IN YOUTUBE (AGE 10–12):
Around age 10–11, while exploring the internet, Ajey discovered YouTube.
He instantly got hooked.
Instead of just watching videos, he wanted to create them. That’s when he created his first YouTube channel, called:
🎥 1st Channel — “STeaLThFeArzZ”
Uploaded football tricks, tutorials, practice sessions
Recorded videos using a simple camera
No editing skills — very raw
Hardly any views
But he didn’t stop. He realized that creating content was something he loved, even if no one watched. It was his escape, his creative world.
💻 TEENAGE STAGE — THE GAMING ERA (AGE 13–15):
At around 13–14, Ajey became addicted to computer games.
Games like:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Battlefield
GTA
FIFA
And many more…
By 14, he launched his second channel:
🎮 2nd Channel — “AddictedA1” (2014):
This time he posted:
Gaming videos
Commentary
Gameplay reactions
But again, the audience wasn’t connecting.
He realized India didn’t yet have a strong gaming audience.
Still, this period taught him:
Video editing basics
How to use a microphone
How to script commentary
How to handle criticism
This was the foundation of the CarryMinati we know today.
🎭 TURNING POINT — EXPERIMENTING WITH COMEDY (2015):
In 2015, he had a breakthrough idea.
He started mimicking Bollywood actors while playing games, especially Sunny Deol.
This was new, funny, and engaging.
He renamed his channel to:
🔥 “CarryDeol”
He posted:
Funny commentary
Gameplays with voice impressions
Reactions to other creators (still very new then)
This was the first time his content got attention.
People loved his voice impressions and humor.
But Ajey wasn’t satisfied — he wanted to create something bigger.
🔥 BIRTH OF THE LEGEND — CARRYMINATI (2016):
In 2016, he discovered western roast-creators like LeafyIsHere.
This inspired him.
He realized India had:
No roast channels
No sarcastic commentary
No Hindi humorous reaction-creators
He sensed a huge opportunity.
So he rebranded again — the biggest change of his life:
🟥 Channel Name Becomes “CarryMinati”
He started:
Roasting
Satirical comedy
Reaction videos
Commentary on viral content
His style was:
Fast-paced
Energetic
Expressive
Loud
Hilarious
Relatable to youth
His videos started getting millions of views.
This was the birth of India's most popular digital entertainer.
📚 EDUCATION STRUGGLE & BIG DECISION:
Ajey was in Class 12 when YouTube became serious.
But he was very weak in academics—especially Economics.
He got anxiety before exams and decided to skip the Class 12 board exam.
This was a bold decision.
He then chose open schooling to complete his education while focusing on YouTube full-time.
This moment shaped his life — he chose passion over academics.
🚀 RISE TO FAME (2017–2019):
⭐ Growing Popularity
By 2017–18, CarryMinati became a major YouTube star.
His roasting style became a trend.
He built a hardcore fanbase — “Carry Army”.
He also launched a second channel:

Live gaming
PUBG streams
Donations & charity streams
This channel also became massively popular.
💰 He began earning:

Livestream donations
Brand deals
At just 17–18 years old, he became financially independent.
