YouTube sensation CarryMinati raised over ₹ 11 lakh towards flood relief to Assam and Bihar. Out of this, ₹1 lakh is his own contribution. These donations will be made to the Chief Minister Relief Fund of the respective states.
CarryMinati, whose actual name is Ajay Negar, was reported saying by News18 as follows: “This idea came up in conjunction with my business manager and cousin Deepak Char. The audience has shown their support and love by contributing Rs 10,31,137 and I decided to add Rs 1,00,000 to this amount as my personal contribution”.
“Content creation can’t always be a commercial proposition that is centred around one’s own advantage. There always needs to be a give-back-to-society element in any form of enterprise. I have always discreetly supported various causes and will continue to do so because I believe it’s important to be there for another in tumultuous times. Humanity needs love and respect right now and we all must unite as one race and do our bit toward a more enterprising and compassionate future,” he added.

He had recently come out with his rap single in collaboration with Wily Frenzy, titled Yalgaar.
