It started, as most great things do, out of sheer boredom. Reshma, a 24-year-old MBA dropout from Thrissur, was waiting for her mother to finish yelling at the cable guy. She picked up her phone, mimicked the yell, and posted it. Twenty-four hours later, she had 50,000 followers.

“Reshma doesn’t try to sell us skincare,” says fan Priya Menon, 29. “She sells us the truth. Last week, she posted a video of her trying to open a pickle jar for 45 minutes. I felt seen.”

“I thought my ammachi would kill me,” Reshma laughs, hiding behind a massive pair of sunglasses. “But then she saw the comments. Everyone said I looked exactly like their own mother. Now, Ammachi demands a cut of the brand deals.” #mallureshma😂😂

Reshma is currently filming a web series where she plays a traffic cop. When asked about her sudden fame, she shrugs.
