From expensive giveaways to adorable fan interactions, India’s one of the most popular YouTubers, Gaurav Taneja, is always in the headlines for one reason or another. His YouTube channel, Flying Beast, has more than 8 million subscribers whereas Taneja is also popular in the field of fitness. Apart from being one of the top content creators, Taneja is widely hailed for his career, where he has excelled in a variety of professions, including law, engineering, bodybuilding, and more. And one among these was aviation, where he was a pilot. However, the YouTuber faced a major setback back in 2020, when he was fired from AirAsia, the company he worked for, for raising safety concerns. With that said, the genius is back in the limelight and the reason has a lot to do with his AirAsia incident. Attending an interview with YouTuber Raj Shamani, Taneja revealed his earnings and compared it with what he used to get when he was a pilot. 

Back in 2020, Gaurav took it to his social media handle to speak on the AirAsia matter, as he wrote, “I was terminated from AirAsia for raising safety issues! Now, the same issues are raised by #DGCA to @AirAsiaIndian. Justice will prevail! #Sabkeliye.”

During the interview, the top YouTuber was asked about his earnings, after which he mentioned about getting fired from AirAsia and claimed that he now earns more than the CEO of AirAsia. “The company that fired me (AirAsia), I earn more than its CEO now),” he was quoted as saying during the interview. As soon as the interview was shared on social media, the fans were impressed and commended his down-to-earth nature.
