The Bong Guy

"I saw that if I handed it out to someone else, it would not remain as my work. So, YouTube is better with no restrictions. I can publish my work to my fans just as I want."

- Kiran

Kiran Dutta, better known online as The Bong Guy, is an Indian YouTube Comedian who posts reaction videos on YouTube. Kiran is the first YouTuber from West Bengal.

YouTube As Profession
Kiran Dutta was born in Dhubulia, a town in West Bengal, India. He grew up there and later shifted to Kolkata for better job opportunities. He used to be an equally good student during his schooldays. He came first in the secondary exams and second in Higher-Secondary. Everyone expected him to be either a doctor, engineer, or a researcher. But, when Kiran found out the craze of having YouTube Channels back in 2015, leaving all choices and his surprised relatives behind, he opened his channel "The Bong Guy" even though being studied Engineering.

He himself started his Engineering Course at the Netaji Subhash Engineerig College, but later realized it was not meant for him. So for earning purposes, he opened the channel. Also, he got to create something new that time because he was the first Bengali YouTube Channel from India. Surpassing many Hindi channels, he showed them the strength of the population of Bengalis in India. At first, he wanted to publish is written story-works. But he knew that if he handed over to someone else, he would be given credits.

So, he found YouTube as a platform to show out his talents and personality. He said, "The mother-tongue of most Hindi YouTubers is Hindi itself... So why hide your own mother-tongue?" Keeping this thought in mind, he started his channel as a Bengali channel. He also thought that by making videos in Bengali, reaching out to Bengali citizens would be a whole lot easier. The most popular of his YouTube Series is the 'E Kemon Cinema" [What Kind Of Cinema Is This]. In this series, Kiran points out mistakes on Bengali cinemas in a rather joking and funny way. According to him, whenever he watches a movie, he has a pen and paper with him where he notes down the mistakes. He even made a "E Kemon Cinema" video on a cinema of his favourite actor Dev.

Surprisingly, Dev himself watched the video, and commented on the way Kiran tells the mistakes. Dev never takes the jokes seriously an knows what Kiran is doing is only for entertainment.
