Danish Sait's growth into nationwide prominence has come about mainly due to one factor: originality. "I am somewhere, quite invariably, responsible for what I do next," he iterates while discussing the concept of creating characters, and enunciates that his process requires him to be on his toes at most times.
"It isn't that I am sitting on a pile of ideas that other people have given me and I end up collaborating with them - not many approach me in that regard and I'll be honest. My process has mainly been about coming up with a character or an idea and later meeting like-minded people to figure out what can be done with it eventually. I have been fortunate to encounter such people along the way and we have managed to somehow put out stuff that's novel, young, and unique in certain ways. But the priority still remains that before anything else, I should have fun creating the character and later developing it - even today, I am not very sure if those characters are commercially viable or not but I am surely having fun playing them," he shares.
And this very process of creating a character is driven by serious intent and planning. His social media reels or videos may seem fun and inconsequential to many but the creator in him constantly dishing them mainly to test out the audience.
"I would like to believe that I am half-decent at modulating voices so the process is quite simple in that regard - then the social media game is mostly an exercise to understand the response and then hopefully take that character to a bigger platform. With

(from '
One Cut Two Cut
'), I had put out a video where he expresses his desire to get married and once that did well, I knew that I had something that's endearing and relatable for the audience. The fact is that I am extremely empathetic towards each of my characters - be it the naive Gopi or the shady

, I empathize with them," he adds.
