Sooneeta: In a week, I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday reserved for livestreams. And for the rest of the week, I put up other video content and Shorts. Further, my livestream goes on for five to six hours and when a new season of Free Fire is released, the duration of the stream is extended as I play longer to push my rank.


Q. You recently joined the South Asian roster of Galaxy Racer. What made you choose this company over the other Free Fire rosters?

Sooneeta: I have always wanted to work with an organization with whom I can do things comfortably and confidently. Moreover, Galaxy Racer’s content goals are aligned with mine. Since I have worked with Rohin sir and Romeo sir in the past, I am well aware of their expertise and industry know-how. That is why I chose to work with Galaxy Racer.


Q. Since Galaxy Racer is one of the largest esports, gaming, and lifestyle organizations in the world, how do you think it will help you in your journey as a streamer/content creator?

Sooneeta: Galaxy Racer is a familiar name in the industry and it is fabulous to work with their team. I am really looking forward to getting their mentorship in creating engaging content and much more.


Q. Being a female streamer, have you ever encountered sexism in your journey as a content creator so far?

Sooneeta: I am not bothered that much, but there have been instances where other content creators and people have been judgemental just because I am a female content creator. I would not mind if I am criticized for my content, but if someone starts hating me because I am a female content creator, then that is not acceptable.

My viewers are very loving and supportive, and have been with me throughout my journey and have seen me grow.


Q. What are your words of wisdom to those Free Fire players who aspire to become content creators someday?

Sooneeta: I would say, start with what you have. Keep giving your best at it and people will appreciate what you have done.
