AADIL KHAN – Dancing Sensation Of The Year (Male), Challenger

aadil-khan

Ex : How did your content creation journey kick start?
It all began with a simple request from a fellow dance fitness instructor to feature in her video. She encouraged me to post my own content on YouTube. To my astonishment, my first video hit a million views within a week, and my channel continued to soar from there.

Ex : What is your most viral reel/short? How did the idea come, and how long did it take to shoot?
I watched many beauty creators craft captivating transitions and thought, “Why not put my spin on this?” The idea was to keep the audience guessing, watching, and re-watching to decipher the magic behind my transitions. These videos were dedicated to incredible women, carrying the slogan #Ajkinaarisabpebhari, and one of them garnered a whopping 152 million views on YouTube!

Ex : What piece of tech is your favourite.
My beloved PS5 and my TV!

Ex : Assuming Instagram is shutting down in 24 hours, what will you do?
I’d shift my focus back to my roots in acting, business ventures, and teaching dance classes. I started as a choreographer and content creator, and I’ll continue to do that.

Ex : Do you have an industry mentor?
I owe a lot to the incredible women who have indirectly supported me throughout my journey. However, my biggest support and anchors at home are Krutika Solanki and my family.

Ex : Tell us about a project that you are the most proud of.
While I pour my heart into every project, the ones where I’ve had the chance to act and then choreograph for ad films and original songs, such as “Dil ko mere” and “Qurbaan” with Avika, and the viral “Radha ne Shyam” in Gujarat with Sachin Jigar and Shruti Pathak, hold a special place in my heart.

Ex : Give us one or more hashtags describing you.

Ex : Can you describe a BTS / blooper that happened during a shoot but didn’t make it into the final content piece?
I’ve had numerous episodes of my pants tearing apart due to my energetic dancing, and I even included some in my videos, but it seems people didn’t notice! One memorable mishap was during a recreation of SRK and Madhuri’s iconic “Chak Dhoom Dhoom” song.

Ex : What’s the first-ever trend that you hopped on?
As far as I can remember, my first viral video was dancing to the “Soni Kinni” song, which took off like wildfire and inspired many others to join in.

Ex : What will the creator landscape look like in 10 years from now?
The creator landscape in a decade will likely feature diverse platforms, advanced AI tools, evolving monetization methods like NFTs, and a continued focus on niche communities for sustainable growth.

Ex : What are the platforms you are active on – how do you decide what goes where?
I don’t discriminate between platforms. Each has a unique audience, so I aim to entertain everyone with dance, comedy, fashion, travel, and lifestyle content. I stagger my content, ensuring that one piece remains exclusive to a platform for at least a good two to three days.

Ex : What’s the next big thing in the pipeline for you?
I’m currently finalizing an OTT show and gearing up for a reality show!

Ex : What is your dream project?
My dream project would undoubtedly involve working with YRF or Dharma Productions!

Ex : Advice you would like to give to budding creators.
Stay true to yourself, find your distinctive voice, maintain consistency in your efforts, and don’t be disheartened by setbacks. Keep learning, adapt to changing trends, and, most importantly, create content that ignites your passion. And never take a break!
