Social-Media Fame
Zaid Ali began his social-media career through 'YouTube.' He created his first 'YouTube' channel on March 6, 2010, and began posting videos. Most of his videos are based on the “desi” South Asian culture. Zaid picks random situations and enacts them in a comical manner. He plays various characters in his videos. His portrayals of female characters have been loved by his fans. He often plays female characters by draping a “dupatta” (scarf) over his head, and this has become his trademark.
Many of Zaid’s initial videos contained profane language, but they still managed to earn significant viewership. However, Zaid was not satisfied with his reach. In an attempt to increase his viewership, he began making family-friendly videos. This turned out to be a beneficial move, as it boosted the number of “views” on his channel. Zaid has now deleted all his videos that contained profanity. The first video he uploaded was named ‘Your Profile Picture is Cute.’ Eventually, he began creating more relatable videos, especially on the lives of “brown” people. In 2015, he posted the video 'When you use a bollywood dialogue in real life..,' which made “Bollywood” actor Sonakshi Sinha "tweet" about it. Sonakshi’s “tweet” made the video viral, and Zaid’s popularity soared. His prank videos titled ‘PILLOW FIGHT PRANK!’ and 'WEED PRANK GONE WRONG!' have both earned over four million views and have made Zaid a popular "YouTuber." To date, the most-watched video on his channel is 'FATHERS DAY SURPRISE!,' which has over 4.7 million views.
Some of his videos such as 'Things Brown Mothers Say,' 'Brown Mom Gets Angry!,' 'I Do My Mom's Makeup!,' and 'I love you, Mom' also feature his mother. Some of his other popular videos are ‘White Guy Speaks Hindi,' 'Things Muslims Say In Ramadan,' 'A Bollywood Love Story..?,' and ‘How Desi aunties gossip.’
Most of the content on his channel is heavily inspired by the works of popular "YouTuber" and web-celebrity Lilly Singh, better known as "Superwoman." Interestingly, Zaid has more 'Facebook' fans than Lilly, despite having a lot less number of 'YouTube' subscribers than her. Similarly, his videos have more “views” than those of Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, who has more fans than Zaid has.
Zaid owns a second ‘YouTube’ channel, ‘ZaidAliT Vlogs,’ where he primarily posts his life vlogs. The most popular vlog on the channel is the one featuring his wife. After Zaid got married, he did a Q&A video with his wife to let his fans know more about them. The channel now has over 981 thousand subscribers, while his primary channel has earned close to 660 thousand subscribers.
Zaid’s 'Twitter' account has over one million followers, while his 'Instagram' page has over two million followers.
Zaid was part of the 'United We Stand' UK tour in 2015. He was also offered a role in a Hollywood film, which he turned down because the script required a kissing scene. Zaid does not support getting intimate on screen.
