Early life
Abhishek was born on 24 May 1997, in Pitam Pura, Delhi[4] to Vinay Malhan and Dimple Malhan.[5][6] He has completed his schooling from Lancer Convent School, Delhi and earned a Bachelors of Commerce from Delhi College of Arts and Commerce.[7]
Career
In 2019, Abhishek entered the YouTube scene, inspired by creators like Mr. Beast and KSI.[8] His channel features real life (IRL) videos and challenges. He has collaborated with CarryMinati, former WWE wrestler The Great Khali, and Puneet Superstar.[9][10][11]
In 2023, Abhishek participated in the reality show Bigg Boss OTT Season 2, where he emerged as the runner-up.[12][13] He also appeared as a guest-host in four episodes of the dating show Temptation Island India.[14][15] Additionally, he hosts a survival game show for Netflix (India) on their YouTube channel.
He is also a former CEO of the brand Mr. Bond which specializes in household cleaning products.[citation needed]
Abhishek faced controversies, including a feud with Elvish Yadav after Bigg Boss OTT. The social media clash was fueled by allegations of negative campaigning costing 25 lakh rupees,[16][17][18][19] was later clarified as a misunderstanding. The two content creators reconciled during the filming of Temptation Island India,[20][21] ultimately resolving their differences and establishing a friendship.
Another controversy arose from a TikTok video depicting Abhishek holding an incense stick in his mouth, perceived by some as disrespectful to the Hindu deity Ganesha.[22][23] Abhishek clarified that the video was part of a TikTok trend critiquing unconventional ritual practices, with the intent to promote respectful approaches.[24]
Personal life
Malhan's siblings Prerna Malhan and Nischay Malhan and his mother are also YouTubers.[25] [26][27] His father Vinay Malhan is a businessman.[28] He purchased a house in Gurgaon worth ₹ 25 crores ($3 million).[29]
