Superwoman is coming to town

That’s exactly what Hyderabadis can expect YouTube sensation Lilly Singh aka Superwoman to say when she performs in flesh and blood at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Auditorium in Basheerbagh on May 23. As part of her ‘Unicorn Island Tour’, she will also perform in Delhi, Mumbai and the Garden City. Superwoman shot to fame with her homemade videos that have grown in style, quality and comic quotient over the years.

The Toronto-based Punjabi puts up a lot of videos on different topics that are majorly suggested by her fans. With over 5 million subscribers to her YouTube channel, Superwoman has gained fame across the globe. Lilly has also lately started posting daily vlogs (video blogs) that give her fans a day-to-day update on what the Superwoman is up to next. People who follow her are ecstatic with her tattoos "nirbhau" and "nirvair", words from the Guru Granth Sahib which signify "without fear" and "without hate".

After over 350 videos, there is little that the 5.3 million subscribers of Lilly’s main channel don't know about her. They know that the 26-year-old savours on rasmalai; that becoming a famous star has been a childhood obsession and she overcame a severe bout of depression. The idea of taking the world by storm came when he was on family vacation at a beach.

Among her most popular videos is "Sh*t Punjabi Mothers Say". Lilly even has Instagram and Twitter accounts dedicated to Manjeet and Paramjeet - characters she has popularised as her parents. Lilly’s fans are predominantly teenage girls. At the YouTube Fan Fest last year, they had the loudest cheers reserved for every mention of her through the three-hour show, which also marked the day’s grand finale.
