In the small city of Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, a young student once dreamed of doing something far bigger than writing lines of code. That student was Zia Kamal, who, while pursuing his B.Tech in Information Technology at AKTU, stumbled upon an unexpected passion — creating content for YouTube.
When he launched his channel in 2018, the platform was already full of established creators. Yet, Zia started humbly, posting short, humorous vines. His edge lay not just in the jokes, but in the way he delivered them — with energy, wit, and a personality that felt larger than life.
Everything changed in 2020. As the world slowed down during the pandemic, Zia’s creativity went into overdrive. He experimented with prank videos, and that’s when his most iconic creation was born: “Ajgar Badmash.” Quirky, unpredictable, and hilariously entertaining, Ajgar wasn’t just another character — he became a phenomenon. Through this alter ego, Zia connected with audiences not only in India but also across Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and even the Gulf countries.
Today, his digital footprint speaks volumes. With over 3 million YouTube subscribers, 500,000 Instagram followers, and more than 1 million Facebook fans, Zia has cemented his place as one of the most relatable digital entertainers of his generation. His Silver and Golden YouTube Play Buttons stand as milestones in a journey that began with a small-town dream.
But Zia’s story doesn’t stop at YouTube. Determined to grow as a performer, he has turned to theatre training, sharpening his skills with aspirations of stepping into Bollywood. For him, the platform was never the destination — it was the springboard.
What sets Zia apart is his ability to breathe life into his characters. Ajgar Badmash isn’t just a role; he feels like someone fans know personally — a companion they laugh with and remember long after the video ends. In a digital landscape brimming with creators, Zia’s originality ensures he remains a step ahead.
From Sambhal’s narrow lanes to New Delhi’s theatre lights, Zia Kamal’s journey is proof that success isn’t accidental. It’s built with patience, creativity, and the courage to take risks. And if Ajgar Badmash is only the beginning, then Zia’s larger story is still waiting to unfold — perhaps soon, on the big screen.
