Twelve-year-old Huzaifa Khan, along with his father, Nadir Khan, sells fish every day in Frontier Colony, Karachi. While doing so, he has a hobby that has put him on the radar: vlogging.
With vlogging came extra income. Huzaifa says, “Earlier, my father used to buy fish from the market and sell it on a cart only, but since online orders started coming in, we now also take fish and deliver it to people’s homes.”

Huzaifa, who has an Instagram page (Khanvlogs240) with almost a hundred thousand followers, documents his father’s daily journey of making an honest living—from the fish market to the streets—recording everything about their lives as fishmongers.

Huzaifa, who has a stutter, asks innocent questions and later posts them on his page. He has started to amass a sizable online audience.
Huzaifa’s family moved to Karachi from Swat in 2023. He says he wakes up early, goes to school, and then sells fish with his father for the rest of the day.

Huzaifa wants to become an engineer, but he acknowledges that selling fish isn’t an easy task—especially when one is also a student and a vlogger.
“Now that I’m making videos, I feel good,” the boy said. However, despite his newfound online fame, the young fishmonger stressed that education remains his priority.
