Moiz studied Fine Arts at GCU. He says NCA turned him down in the first year. [1]

Career

Sikandar says he started acting at college and in theatre, and that he had performed in 20 to 25 theatre plays. In his third year he was doing a job while doing theatre alongside it. He says he then joined an advertising agency, and at one point he was working as a graphic designer. [1]

Sikandar says he has done two or three bedroom dramas, and that he was doing a soap at that time. He says he used to scream once a month. Moiz says his brother had been screaming once a month since 2018. Moiz also says that at that time Sikandar had about 60,000 to 70,000 followers. [1]
