Creativity has no limits. It can come in any form and manner. And believe me, this creativity kept me entertained the entire lockdown. Wondering how? Well, by following some of the best Instagram accounts. The lockdown gave a podium for content creators to showcase their best skills, and that legacy eventually continued. These creators were limited to YouTube, TikTok, while later being the most famous. However, with the TikTok ban, guess who benefited the most – Instagram.
Instagram Reels brought a ray of hope to many content creators to come up with short videos, challenges, and so much more. Therefore, I decided to compile a list of the best Indian accounts to follow on Instagram. These accounts were a huge relief for me in my good and bad times. I hope the same works for you!
