Early life and background

Babar has said his father was a pilot and is now a lawyer, and that his father now works at the UN. He has also said his father used to work at a company that he linked to cigarettes. According to Babar, his mother has been working for about 20 years. He has said his parents worked very hard and that they learned through struggle. He has described his mother as a major example for him, and has said he does not want to dishearten his parents or the people around him. [1]

Babar has said he wanted to make YouTube videos from childhood. He has also said he was bullied through school until around class six or seven. In his account, the bullying both improved him and traumatised him, and his childhood traumas made him a different person. [1]

YouTube

Babar has said he first started on YouTube with a channel in 2018. He and his friends began making casual vlogs at college. He has described a person named Osama as a good friend of his. Babar has said their channel had around 30,000 subscribers. [1]

Babar has said rifts developed, which he said were bad for his mental health, so he left the channel. He has said he needed a creative space of his own, and that he started his own channel from scratch in 2019. He has also said he lost interest in YouTube and felt it was not what he wanted to do with his life. He has said he has largely stopped making YouTube videos. [1]

Acting and modelling

Babar has said his goal is to be an actor and that he does not want to be seen only as an influencer. He has said he has acting potential, though it is still rough. He has described modelling as a way to gain practical experience of working on a set, and has described his current phase as an experiment phase. He has said he plans to audition for different TV channels in a few years. [1]

Babar has said he met someone through social media. According to Babar, that person told him he wanted to be a director, and Babar replied that he wanted to be an actor. He has said he received critiques from people and saw himself on screen. He has said he realised he had perhaps been overconfident. [1]

Babar has said he wants to do a business so that he understands its practical side. He has said he will train properly before any future acting or singing work, and that he wants to come into this field stronger. [1]

Public image and online reaction

Babar has said he presented a happy online energy that was not fully his real self. He has said he got a piercing and changed his style. He has said people messaged him that he looked like a particular person, so he decided to recreate a look. He has said he had become a walking meme. [1]

Babar has said his video was removed from TikTok for harassment and bullying. He has said people accused him of having an identity crisis. He has said online hate bothers him less now, though personal attacks sometimes affect him. He has said he still needs someone to guide him on his public image. [1]

Views

Babar has said it is difficult for people who come from a YouTube background. He has said social media has become very toxic in recent years. In his view, people can explain politely what is right or wrong, but publicly bullying someone is different. He has said people can take a stand calmly and do not need to shout. [1]

Babar has said call-out culture can help people realise their mistakes, but that de-platforming people is wrong. He has said people should give those who have done wrong room to improve, and that people mostly cancel others because they dislike the person. He has also said that he and people like him are really careful with everything, but people do not understand that they are humans. [1]

Babar has said he feels older than newcomers to the industry who are around 16 or 17. [1]
