Mahesh Keshwala aka Thugesh’s YouTube Career

Thugesh’s YouTube story started in January 2014, when he first got WIFi at his home and he started watching YouTube videos. He used to watch videos of then famous creators like BB Ki Vines and Mumbaiker Nikhil. He then started thinking if these creators can do it, he can do it too. So, he created his YouTube channel, however, had no idea about what he’s going to post on the channel.

Since he loves traveling, he started making videos like, ‘Top 10 Places to Visit in Mumbai’ and he named his channel, ‘Top 10 List India,’ and he still has the banner of this channel. He created the script and he couldn’t edit it. He got scared of the editing software he had on his PC. So he just dropped the idea of this channel. 

Then, he was watching a channel called Thug Life Videos (TLV) on YouTube and wondered why no one was making Thug Life videos on celebrities, cricketers, or politicians in India. So, he started making Thug Life videos on celebrities and cricketers. Mahesh’s first-ever video on YouTube channel, Thug Life Compilations, titled ‘Ultimate Chris Gayle Thug Life Compilation |Indian Thug Life | Desi Thug Life.’ He edited and uploaded this video from his phone, and didn’t get much response. So, he just dropped the idea of YouTube again. 

 

Mahesh Keshwala aka Thugesh was studying Company Secretary (CS) at that time along with doing his B.Com. He appeared for CS exams and after that, he randomly opened his YouTube channel again. He was surprised to see that the video has more than 5 Lacs views (2014) and his AdSense account had $122.01. Mahesh then knew that this is what he wanted to do. He then started making thug life videos and his first income from YouTube was Rs. 24,000. 

Mahesh Keshwala aka Thugesh was also doing a part-time job somewhere. So, he took his savings and his salary and purchased a DSLR Canon 700D. Mahesh was always interested in making face cam videos, and he was interested in making videos on stories related to ghosts and unnatural activity. He uploaded a few such videos and got backlash on all these videos. So, he continued making Thug Life videos again and deleted all story-related videos from his channel.

At this point, he just had one income source, YouTube, and he already left modeling and CS. During this time, he got an email from YouTube that his channel was monetized and he was panicked. Mahesh used to be in stress, and he believes that it was the worst phase of his life. Mahesh had around 2 Lacs subscribers at this point. Then, he decided, he won’t leave YouTube this time. So, he researched and got to know that YouTube can monetize his channel again if he makes face cam videos. Mahesh stopped making videos and he didn’t upload for a year and had no income because of the demonetized channel. His channel had around 150 videos with most of his videos having a million views. His subscribers left and he had 0 views on his channel. 

After that, he took his savings out from the bank and bought a high-quality light and a camera lens, and then started making face cam thug life videos. He uploaded his first videos again, which got backlash from people, after which he deleted that video. However, he motivated himself again and started making thug life videos and didn’t focus on hatred coming from people. Mahesh kept uploading such videos and slowly people started making videos. 

However, Mahesh was not satisfied with the channel name, which was Thug Life Compilations then. So, he clubbed his name Mahesh with Thug (as he was making Thug Life videos) and titled his channel name, Thugesh. People suggested Mahesh to change the channel name, however, he didn’t change it.

Mahesh Keshwala then started uploading videos, which he previously deleted from the channel and clubbed it with face cam, and started uploading videos again. By the time he did that, people had already copied and uploaded his deleted videos. So, he started getting hate again from people. But he continued the efforts and kept on making videos. He uploaded a roast video on Bigg Boss, then on Tik Tok. Meanwhile, he started another channel, Thugesh Unfiltered (Aug 25, 2018), where he started vlogging about him traveling across the world. He is even uploading game plays on the second channel now.

In between, the controversy between creators on YouTube and TikTok and that’s when his first channel got a boom and Thugesh almost 5.5l subscribers. Then, Mahesh uploaded 12 videos in 12 days (on both channels), for which he worked really hard. He used to do the shooting, scripting, and editing. Then ‘Kunal Kamra’ roast, which got an amazing response from people. The day his controversy happened, Mahesh didn’t sleep that night and prepared a script for his Kunal Kamra roast video. He shot the video the next day and uploaded it on the channel. This video received more than one million views.
