Jabalpur's 'Rocking Goli' Goes Viral After India's Got Latent Performance

Balaram Vishwakarma, popularly known as 'Rocking Goli' on social media, has gained recognition across the country after his performance on India's Got Latent. The Jabalpur-based content creator makes comedy videos in women's outfits and started creating content during the COVID-19 lockdown.

His journey to the show began when some youngsters at a tea stall in Transport Nagar, Chandal Bhata, encouraged him to apply. His close friend Ajay also motivated him to participate, and he was later selected. For his performance, Balaram presented a special song about Jabalpur and the atmosphere around the tea stall. The song was written and sung by his friend Ajay, while Mumbai-based musician Utkarsh composed the music.

During the performance, Samay Raina, Alia Bhatt and Ashish Solanki joined Balaram in dancing. A clip of the performance went viral on social media, bringing him offers for shows and events from across India. Balaram said he never started making videos for fame or money, but to stay busy and spend time with his wife.

The couple started making videos after they did not have children even after 17 years of marriage. Balaram said keeping his wife happy and stress-free was one of the main reasons he continued making videos. His wife has been his camerawoman, director and entire support team, helping him with his makeup and recording his videos.

Balaram began his social media journey on TikTok, where he gained more than one lakh followers through videos in women's outfits. His character was inspired by 'Gutthi' from The Kapil Sharma Show. After TikTok was banned in India in 2020, he moved to Instagram and later started creating content on YouTube.

Despite facing criticism for his appearance and content, Balaram continued to create videos. His family initially opposed his videos, but he continued despite the comments. He said his family now supports him and praises his work.

The recognition Balaram has received is a testament to the power of social media and the importance of pursuing one's passion. His story is an inspiration to many, showing that with hard work and dedication, anyone can achieve their goals. As Balaram's popularity continues to grow, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for this talented content creator.

In the end, Balaram's success is a reminder that everyone gets their day in the sun, and with persistence and passion, anyone can achieve their dreams. His story is a shining example of the impact that social media can have on one's life, and how it can bring people together and provide a platform for talented individuals to showcase their skills.
