Get to know... Naman Mathur

High point in life

Meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2024, along with other gamers, for a roundtable discussion on gaming.

Low point in life

The PUBG Mobile ban in 2020. My audience was used to watching me play. I transitioned into content creation and focused on building my brand, S8UL as a co- founder.

On my playlist

In the End, by Linkin Park; Lose Yourself, by Eminem; Yellow, by Coldplay.

One thing I would never buy

A car. I’ll only splurge on a Lamborghini Urus.

Today I’m craving

Pasta.

Last thing I ordered online

Gym supplements.

App I check before going to bed

Whoop.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Be more extroverted and seize every opportunity.

My favourite subject in school

English.

I’d swipe right on

Humility.

My secret skill is

Making people feel comfortable instantly, as if they’ve known me for years.

A superpower I wish I had

The ability to erase toxicity and negativity.

My favourite Sunday memory

Playing football in my society, or playing PS2 with friends during childhood.

My most star-struck moment

Meeting Sachin Tendulkar in 2021; and meeting Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana, two players from my favourite football team, Chelsea.

My favourite bad habit

Reading before falling asleep.

If I could travel back or forward in time...

I’d return to the phase when I pivoted after the PUBG ban, and do things perfectly this time.

The best thing about fame

Getting to travel around the world frequently.

The worst thing about fame

Feeling like there are always eyes on you.
