Hailing from a middle-class family in Ghazipur district of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Awanish Singh’s journey is nothing less than an inspirational. Awanish has persevered to be successful in his life. Since he was a child, he always had a keen interest in acting and hoped to be an actor someday. However, owing to his family's financial situation, he had put his dream on hold and completed his graduation in BA LLB. Still, whenever he got the chance to showcase his acting skills, he used to participate in the drama plays organized by the drama society in his law school. Witnessing his passion for acting, many individuals in his law school suggested he go to Mumbai and become an actor. However, when they came to know about Awanish’s family background, many of them steered him to start a YouTube channel where he could show off his acting skills. Realizing the opportunity, Awanish wasted no time and started his YouTube channel in November 2016, but he didn't post any form of content on his channel until January 2017. One by one his videos started to trend and people began to take an interest in his content. His early videos featured content based on UP slang and most of the audience was entertained by his content. As he kept on posting content regularly, the number of subscribers on his channel grew from 800-900 to 900k to 1million in one year. At the time, only his mother knew about his YouTube channel and he believed that as his channel grew the rest of the family members will come to know about it anyways. The increase in the subscriber count put pressure on Awanish to bring various types of content on his channel as no one liked to see the same type of video again and again. This is when he decided to make short films that would inspire people to change the way they live their lives. ‘The Life Recall’ was the first short film that he put on his YouTube channel and it showed the stories of people with drugs addiction and the reason behind it. Back then, no other mainstream YouTuber had released a short film and hence ‘The Life Recall’ was loved by the audience. Awanish was also the first among the list of youngest Indian Youtuber who had gained 1 million subscribers in the entertainment genre. Today, Awanish has more than 2.3+ million subscribers on his YouTube channel, more than 150+k followers on Instagram along a thriving Facebook account with over 1+ million followers. Through his follower count and content, it is undeniable that he is a social media star, influencer, and YouTube star, whose stardom is only going to grow.
