Priyanka Dave Shrimali - From Aviation To Content Creation (Content Creator, 338k Followers)

"Destiny has its own way of showing us the path. What starts as a setback can become the foundation for something beautiful."

1. You’ve worn so many different hats from being a flight attendant to a yoga trainer and now a digital creator. What’s one life lesson from each phase that still sticks with you today?

The one life lesson that has stayed with me is: Never give up. Life is ever-changing, and nothing is permanent—not the tough days, not even our existence. Trust your gut instinct, and have faith that everything eventually falls into place.  

2. Switching from aviation to becoming a digital creator must have been a huge shift. Was there a moment when you realized, ‘This is the path I want to take’? How did that decision feel?

My journey into content creation wasn’t planned at all—it was destiny. After leaving my aviation job, I became a yoga trainer, but that too came to an end when the company shut its operations. I was back to square one. Content creation started by chance, and it just took off. I believe God’s plans are always bigger and better than ours.

3. When you create content, what drives your creativity, and how does it reflect in your everyday life?

I focus on being raw and real. I love working on the small details, often inspired by observing life’s real characters. Authenticity is my biggest driving force, both in content and daily life.

4. You share such a beautiful mix of fitness, personal stories, and everyday moments. How do you balance what you share online with what you keep private?

By staying authentic and real, I ensure my content feels natural, not forced. Over time, I’ve learned that not everything needs to be online. While I spend significant time on social media, moments with loved ones are sacred and enjoyed offline.

5. Yoga is such a big part of your life now. How do you bring the calm and mindfulness of yoga into the fast-paced digital world?

Yoga has taught me contentmen. I’ve learned to trust in divine timing—everything happens when it’s meant to. There’s no need to rush or follow trends out of fear of missing out.

6. Your time as a flight attendant must have been full of unique experiences. How has that shaped your content or inspired the stories you share online?

My time in aviation taught me kindness and gave me a global perspective. Meeting people from different cultures and exploring the world shaped the way I approach content creation—it’s all about connecting with people.

7. Your YouTube channel is called “Udan Pari.” What’s the story behind the name, and how does the idea of ‘flying’ or ‘freedom’ influence your work today?

The name comes from a humorous interaction with a relative in my village. When I explained my job, they said, “Achcha, toh tu ‘Udan Pari’ hai.” The name stuck and reminds me to embrace freedom and soar high in everything I do.

8. The digital world can be unpredictable. What’s one thing people might not realize about this lifestyle that’s essential for success?

It’s a world of ups and downs—one day you shine, and the next day might be tough. Success in this space requires consistency and dedication. The key is to accept the highs and lows with grace and keep working on your craft.

9. You’ve reinvented yourself multiple times. What’s your secret to evolving while staying true to yourself?

The secret lies in acceptance. Life doesn’t always go as planned, but believing in yourself and embracing change keeps you grounded. Every fall has taught me to rise stronger.

10. For someone considering leaving a steady career for content creation, what advice would you give? How did you gather the courage for such a leap?

My advice is to approach content creation with caution. Never leave a steady career without a solid backup plan. When I left aviation, I already had a job as a yoga trainer. Content creation should start as a side hustle until it’s sustainable. Always prioritize responsibilities over risks.

Bio: 

A former flight attendant turned yoga trainer, and now a passionate digital creator. My journey has been anything but conventional—a rollercoaster ride full of challenges, transformations, and unexpected blessings. I started my career in aviation, where I had the privilege of meeting incredible people and experiencing the beauty of different cultures. It taught me kindness, adaptability, and the art of connecting with others.  

After leaving aviation, I pursued my passion for yoga, focusing on living a balanced and peaceful life. But when that chapter closed unexpectedly, I found myself at a crossroads again. That’s when content creation came into my life—not as a planned career move, but as a beautiful twist of destiny.  

Through my platform, I share a mix of fitness, personal stories, and snippets of my everyday life. I believe in being raw, real, and authentic, both online and offline. Yoga continues to shape my mindset, teaching me contentment, patience, and the importance of living in the moment.  

The name “Udan Pari” holds a special place in my heart, a playful reminder of where I’ve come from and the freedom I’ve embraced along the way. My journey so far has taught me one invaluable lesson: never give up. Life’s twists and turns may not always make sense at first, but with faith and persistence, everything eventually falls into place.
