Iftekhar Rafsan - better known as Rafsan "the Chotobhai" - has built a massive online audience with hundreds of thousands of dedicated followers in just over a year. His exponential rise came in 2019 through creating videos reviewing food from various cafes and restaurants. Based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Rafsan now primarily identifies as an entertainer and a video creator, but is also popular in the online gaming community. 

In this episode of the State of the Creators, Tawsif Akkas sits down with Rafsan to discuss his growth online, the challenges in keeping up with rising demands (both in his professional and personal life) and what it took for him - a quiet introverted boy - to overcome his fear of appearing in public to being awarded the much sought after silver play button on YouTube.
