Dehati Madam Yashoda has gained fresh attention after Priyanka Chopra shared her farm video, helping spotlight her English-learning journey.
NEW DELHI: As of October 7, 2026, Economic Times reported that Yashoda Lodhi had surpassed 583,000 followers on Instagram and more than 400,000 followers on YouTube. Earlier reports had noted her crossing the four-lakh follower milestone as attention around the viral clip accelerated.
The growing reach means Dehati Madam Yashoda is now connecting with an audience far beyond the rural communities she originally hoped to help.
Who is Yashoda Lodhi
Yashoda comes from Uttar Pradesh and studied up to Class 12. She began improving her own English before eventually creating videos designed to make spoken English easier for Hindi-speaking and rural learners.
Her simple presentation style and willingness to learn publicly have helped make her content relatable to viewers who may feel intimidated by formal English lessons.
She launched her “English With Dehati Madam” YouTube channel after practising English listening skills and gradually built an audience around practical lessons, motivation and everyday conversations.
Other actors have noticed her work
Priyanka Chopra is not the only actor to have noticed Yashoda’s content.
Mrunal Thakur has also shared her work, while Abhay Deol and R Madhavan have shown support for her videos, according to reports.
For Dehati Madam Yashoda, the attention represents another milestone in a journey that began with learning English independently and creating videos from rural India.
Impact to expect
The viral moment could bring significantly more viewers to Yashoda’s educational content while highlighting how regional creators can reach national and international audiences without traditional media backing.
