The Reelstars’ Picks of Budding Creators Who Found Their Groove in 2025
From magic and family reels to fitness, fashion and travel, these budding creators built momentum and meaning in 2025.
Not every creator’s journey begins with a viral spike. Some build quietly, some experiment fearlessly, and some simply keep showing up until the algorithm, and the audience, catch on. In 2025, a new wave of creators began finding their footing not by chasing trends blindly, but by leaning into what felt natural to them. What unites these budding creators is effort. They post consistently, interact deeply, test formats, listen to feedback and evolve in public. Some entertained, some educated, some simply made people smile, but all added value in their own way.
Here are The Reelstars’ Picks of budding creators who saw real movement in 2025 and are clearly setting the stage for bigger growth ahead.
Arika (@cutebabyarika)
Followers: 13.1K
Managed by: Parents
Arika, lovingly known as “Laddu”, is a child artist whose reels thrive on everyday family humour. Her content features short, funny moments acted out with her parents, capturing situations that feel instantly relatable.
From playful takes on fashion advice to jokes about month-end budgeting and pocket money, her reels reflect how sharp and expressive kids are today. The humour feels light, clean and rooted in family dynamics, making it widely watchable.
Her account saw strong traction through 2025, and the buzz around her content suggests this is just the beginning. With her parents steering the account thoughtfully, Arika’s growth feels organic and steady.
Jadugar Prince (@jadugar__prince)
Followers: 25.9K
Jadugar Prince turned his daily practice and little shows into content and magic into momentum. Starting regular uploads around mid-2025, he shared clips of his magic tricks, performances and behind-the-scenes practice, along with simple explanations for viewers curious to learn.
His consistency paid off quickly. Within six months, he crossed 25K followers and even caught the attention of established creators. A collaboration reel featuring him performing magic went viral, clocking nearly 4 million views in just 10 hours with Danny Pandit (@dannyypandit).
A shoutout from Danny, calling his act “next level jadu”, sealed his breakout moment. His content appeals across age groups, proving that his magic skills travel far online.
Reva (@revaluxlife)
Followers: 24.1K
Reva’s journey mirrors the rise of UGC-led travel content in India. As brands began trusting creators to tell their story, she started approaching luxury resorts directly and producing cinematic, phone-shot videos that felt polished yet personal. While her follower growth has been gradual, her viewership has scaled rapidly, touching millions in a short time. What keeps audiences coming back is depth. She shares detailed itineraries, travel guides and practical tips on how to explore nearby places efficiently.
With over 52 global partnerships, Reva balances aspirational visuals with planning value, making her content useful not just for travellers, but also for hotels and tourism brands.
Satyam Phule (@phulesatyam)
Followers: 11.1K
Satyam Phule entered content creation only in 2025, but quickly found his rhythm. A writer and actor, he focuses on light-hearted skits, short dramas and friend-group humour that feels natural rather than scripted.
His imitations and recreations stand out for their timing and warmth, often featuring known creators like Aparna Tandale. The on-screen chemistry works, and the algorithm followed. Within a year, he crossed 11K followers.
Satyam’s growth shows how collaboration, when done honestly, can amplify original content without overshadowing it. His storytelling is still evolving, and that’s precisely what makes him one to watch.
Pratiksha Naik (@fitgoddesspratiksha)
Followers: 7K+
Pratiksha Naik began her journey with a personal fitness transformation. What started as self-improvement soon turned into content when people began relating to her honesty and progress.
A certified fitness trainer and nutrition coach, she combines transformation stories with educational posts, breaking down how men’s and women’s bodies respond differently to training and fat loss. Her content often challenges oversimplified fitness hacks, especially those that ignore women’s hormonal health.
With interactive Q&As, candid posts about weight gain and discipline, and a confident, bold presentation style, Pratiksha balances entertainment with education. Her steady rise shows she understands both fitness and the platform she’s growing on.
Shivani Kadvath (@shivanikadvath)
Followers: 2.5K
Still in her teens and studying Fashion Design at NIFT Kolkata, Shivani Kadvath is quietly building a body of work rooted in sustainability. Inspired by her mother, Reshma Kadvath, an upcycling artist and creator herself, Shivani creates clothing, bags and fashion pieces entirely by hand.
She repurposes unused fabrics, old kurtis, torn jeans, pillowcases and other discarded materials, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Her patchwork jacket project during the holidays stood out for both craftsmanship and intent.
Beyond fashion, Shivani shares her journey as a budding artist, posting drawings and self-portraits from her foundation year, and even experimenting with beginner baking. Her content reflects curiosity, discipline and creative honesty at an early stage.
These creators may be at different stages, but they share one thing in common: momentum built through effort. By experimenting, engaging and staying consistent, they turned 2025 into a year of movement rather than waiting.
As the creator economy continues to evolve, these names stand out not because they are already big, but because they are building something from ground zero.
