Early life and education

Saif was born in Bahawalnagar. His father is a physics professor. He attended District Public School. Following his matriculation examinations, he had a three-month summer break and then completed his intermediate studies in computer science (ICS). He enrolled at the University of Central Punjab to pursue a BBA degree, graduating in four years. [1]

Personal life

Saif has a brother named Hasan, who is two years younger than him. His maternal aunt lives in Lahore and Islamabad, and his cousin participated in under-18 cricket training at a stadium camp. Saif relocated independently to Lahore. During his youth, he reduced his body weight from 140 kilograms down to 83 kilograms, maintaining that lower weight for several years before later gaining eight to ten kilograms. [1]

Content creation career

Saif created a Facebook page and a YouTube channel to upload his stories. His first main channel video discussed traffic stopping for pedestrians crossing the road in Dubai. In his first year on YouTube, he produced approximately 25 to 30 videos and reached around 7,900 to 8,000 subscribers. During this early phase, he attended a meetup of 60 to 70 people at Popcorn Studio and received his first brand offer at around 2,000 subscribers. [1]

Saif initially shot footage on an iPhone and edited videos on a laptop, purchasing a drone before acquiring a dedicated camera. In early 2019, while in his fourth or fifth semester of university, he used all of his YouTube earnings to finance travel to Dubai and Turkey. His travel coverage expanded to include trips across Pakistan, such as a four-to-five-video series from Peshawar and a motorcycle tour through Hunza. Following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in September, he produced a video in Sargodha that received 2.1 million views within a week. [1]

Upon reaching 500,000 subscribers on his primary channel, Saif established a second channel called shepaque gang. He spent nine days in Cairo during a trip to Egypt to produce content for both channels. Having operated as a solo creator for several years, he subsequently organized a dedicated production team to travel and film alongside him. Saif avoids discussing political matters in his content and views travel as an experience that fosters humility and an awareness of personal insignificance. [1]
