PewDiePie roasts T-Series CEO for making video plea to Indians amid YouTube race Bollywood Hungama \/ Rock-CafeAs the race between Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg and T-Series continues to get more and more intense, the Bollywood label\u2019s CEO has publicly asked for help in defeating their great YouTube rival. Bhushan Kumar, chairman and managing director of Super Cassettes Industries Limited, aka T-Series, tweeted out a video on March 6 as part of the effort to help T-Series overtake PewDiePie as the most subscribed-to channel on YouTube. The video is primarily directed at Indians and applies to their sense of nationalism, asking them to subscribe to T-Series to \u201cmake India win.\u201d \u201cThere is an Indian YouTube channel on the brink of becoming the world\u2019s number one,\u201d he says. \u201cIt has taken us a lot of effort to come this far. To take my father Gulshan Kumar\u2019s dream forward, I started this channel.\u201d Today, it belongs to you; it belongs to the entire nation,\u201d he goes on to say. \u201cThis is a historic moment for all of us, so let\u2019s come together and subscribe to T-Series YouTube channel and make India proud.\u201d We\u2019re on the brink of becoming the world\u2019s biggest @YouTube channel. We can make history. We can make India win. Subscribe to @TSeries #BharatWinsYouTube https:\/\/t.co\/izEu8dzHdf pic.twitter.com\/dJumzHwADa \u2014 Bhushan Kumar (@itsBhushanKumar) March 6, 2019 Of course, this publicly displayed video plea caught the attention of PewDiePie, who was quick to call it it as a \u201cdesperate\u201d tactic on Twitter, which seemed to be a recurring theme in a lot of the comments. \u201cWe forced them into begging,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cWe forced a giant corporation with thousands of workers to beg for subs. That\u2019s an incredible achievement, and more satisfying than being the number one, to be honest.\u201d We forced them into begging. Lmao. We forced a giant corporation with thousands of workers to beg for subs. That’s an incredible achievement. And more satisfying than being the #1 TBH. \u2014 Crow (@CrowTheCrow1) March 6, 2019 As things stand, PewDiePie holds just over a 56,000 subscriber lead over T-Series, as both channels have now topped the 88 million subscriber mark. While most projections have the Bollywood brand passing the Swede on March 9, although no one would be the least surprised if he is still the King of YouTube past that. He has maintained his lead for this long thanks to a variety of last minute boosts, the latest one being popular YouTuber MrBeast hosting Pewds\u2019 popular Meme Review show on March 6. Only time will tell how long this lead will last, but as far as PewDiePie\u2019s fans are concerned, even the fact that T-Series have take such a step to ask for subscribers is a victory of its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
