"We started doing it solely for entertainment purposes," he said.
"When he told me to shoot the videos with him, I tried and found that it was quite easy," Neema recalled.
Kili spoke about their celebrity status in India, saying he has always loved Hindu songs.
"I don't speak Hindu and I am not a good singer. I do lip syncs. I love Hindu songs and wanted to do something showing it," he said.
Electricity, doubting elders
Kili disclosed when he started doing TikTok videos, the older people thought he had lost his mind as it was a foreign concept to the community.
"They initially thought I had been bewitched or gone crazy. They called my brothers to take me to hospital for a mental check-up," he said.
To access electricity to charge his phone, Kili has to travel 10 kilometres.
"We have 3G internet so it really helps," he said.
Kili divulged that they have not started benefiting from their viral clips but received a lot of guests courtesy of their newfound fame.
