Working for Rs.50 a day as a salesperson
Faisal Shaikh has been helping his father with his family’s nightie business since he was a small child. However, because the firm was small and hard, he applied for a job as a perfume salesman, with a daily income of around Rs. 50. Life was difficult for him at the time because he was still in college and had to balance his career and studies. Shaikh got up at 6 a.m. to study and work, and he didn’t go to bed until 2 a.m.
However, the young man’s life was in trouble after he was sacked after spilling an Rs. 12,000 perfume bottle by accident. His father’s business was also failing at the time, and they were unable to pay for his mother’s medical bills and treatment, which caused Faisal Shaikh to scream uncontrollably.
He continues to hustle.
Faisal Shaikh was not about to give up. He began looking for a new career while teaching himself how to make hilarious movies on the internet with the help of a friend. Faisal Shaikh has been making a dozen videos a day since his first video, which was a collaboration with his team called ‘Team 07’. For a year, they produced an average of 14 videos per day. The majority of them are lip-synced and dance videos.
Faisal Shaikh and his crew began to build a following on the internet. People on the street knew him as “the guy from TikTok.” His parents, on the other hand, are not pleased. Instead of being an ‘unpaid hero,’ they wanted him to concentrate on his studies and earn his MBA.
Mr. Faisu’s path to stardom on TikTok
Despite his family’s objections, Mr. Faisu was convinced that he was on the correct course to success. Later one of his videos went viral and received 10 million views in a matter of hours. With millions of new followers, his fame skyrocketed, and he began attending events and shows.
Mr. Faisu is currently India’s second most popular TikTok star, with over 25 million followers. He’s also a model, a social media influencer, and the owner of a deodorant company. After just one year, he has gone from a young guy earning Rs. 50 per day to be able to buy a stylish BMW and a nice home. Mr. Faisu is without a doubt living a life that most of us can only dream of.
