  "account": "YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, who goes by the online name Flying Beast, shared his perspective on success in an age of social media. During a conversation with entrepreneur Azhar Iqubal at IIT Delhi, Taneja highlighted the example of his wife, Ritu Rathee. Ritu is not only a pilot by profession but also a successful content creator. The couple has two daughters.\n\nTaneja revealed that his wife was once an influencer with an impressive 2 million followers on her Instagram. Last year, she approached him with a surprising request - she did not want to continue with her social media career. At first, this news took Taneja by surprise and made him question her decision, but her reasoning provided him with clarity. Ritu explained that while many people define success through a large bank balance, she desired to focus on spending time with her children and being involved in their growth. She is also content with her career as a pilot. According to Taneja, this revelation helped him redefine what success means to him.",
