Instagram Sensation Dhiraj Takri: Mastering English Accents Like A Native Speaker
Background & Origins
Dhiraj comes from a humble financial background; his father worked as a bicycle repairman and his mother sold bangles in nearby villages. He completed his matriculation at a local village school but failed his Class 12 (Intermediate) board exams. This academic setback became a central part of his "12th Fail" brand narrative, symbolizing resilience. The turning point came when he spent a year at a Christian theological institute in Kerala, discovering phonetics on YouTube during limited internet windows.
Rise to Fame
Dhiraj began posting content consistently in late 2023. His breakthrough occurred in December 2023 with a reel explaining the silent 'd' in words like "Handsome" and "Wednesday." In a span of just 44 days (Dec 2023 – Jan 2024), his Instagram following skyrocketed from approximately 160 to over 1 million. His early viral videos were filmed on a Motorola Moto G40 with a broken screen, highlighting his autodidactic "rural genius" appeal.
Teaching Style
Unlike traditional Indian English teachers who focus on grammar, Dhiraj emphasizes phonology (sounds) and prosody (rhythm). He encourages students to "forget grammar" if they want to speak fast and fluently. He uses the "Shadowing" technique—mimicking native speakers from movies and web series—and teaches concepts like the "Glottal Stop" and elision.
