The content on Arshad’s channel primarily showcases his family life, featuring his wife, two daughters—Zainab and Dua—and his son, Muhammad. The channel gained traction through the viral catchphrase used by his wife to address him: “Zainab ke Papa.” Arshad’s videos often depict an idealised family life set in a rural backdrop, emphasizing religion and positivity in daily situations.
In a celebratory video marking the 10 million subscriber milestone, Arshad expressed his gratitude to his followers. “We thank all our subscribers who love our content, whether it’s humorous or carries a life lesson,” he said.
He highlighted that his success was achieved without flaunting a lavish lifestyle, modern fashion, or extravagant locations, proudly noting that he rose to prominence while living in what he described as a “jungle.” This, he emphasised, proves that success on the platform doesn’t require material excess.
