His Instagram reels showcase a striking contrast between his rural background and his perfectly styled outfits. One of his videos begins with the line, \"Gaon ke ladke can't dress well,\" followed by a shot of Kerketta in a crisp white shirt, light blue jeans, a printed tie, boots, and sunglasses. The video then transitions seamlessly from his agricultural work to his meticulously coordinated outfit, garnering attention for both the fashion reveal and the juxtaposition of his rural setting. Kerketta's content does not shy away from his village surroundings, using them as part of the visual language in his videos. His style stands out due to the striking contrast between his ordinary village setting and his carefully designed outfits. Despite the contrast, Kerketta presents rural life and fashion as complementary rather than mutually exclusive.",
