Meet
Masum
Khan,
from
Dakshin
Dinajpur,
West
Bengal,
who
once
dreamed
of
becoming
a
Bollywood
superstar.
He
may
not
have
made
it
all
the
way
to
Mumbai,
but
he
is
a
superstar
as
a
content
creator
today,
and
a
hero
in
and
around
his
village.
While
growing
up,
Masum
loved
Bollywood
movies
and
became
a
fan
of
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Salman
Khan.
Since
his
school
days,
he
would
watch
movies
on
a
small
black
and
white
TV,
even
while
he
used
to
help
his
father
in
his
small
scale
cement
business.
He
would
entertain
the
customers
in
the
shop
by
reciting
filmi
dialogue.
He
even
joined
theater
classes
near
his
home.
However,
as
the
cement
business
wasn’t
doing
well,
he
dropped
out
of
college,
and
also
the
theater
classes
which
he
joined
recently.
He
moved
to
Delhi
and
attempted
to
build
a
career
there,
but
that
failed
very
quickly.
He
decided
to
move
back
to
his
village
in
2018,
and
reconnected
with
his
love
for
Bollywood.
But
this
time,
not
through
theater
or
TV
but
by
creating
content
on
short
video
platforms.
He
chose
to
be
the
hero
of
his
own
life!
His
early
videos
were
about
lip
syncing
to
filmi
dialogues
but
soon
he
started
recreating
movie
scenes
of
his
favorite
actors.
One
of
Masum’s
favorite
scenes
is
in
the
movie
Vastav,
when
Sanjay
Dutt
catches
the
culprit
who
killed
his
right
hand
man
Dedh
Futiya.
Well,
watch
Masum
recreate
it
in
his
own
style
where
he
sent
the
culprit
flying
in
the
air
with
a
single
kick!
Don’t
miss
the
epic
background
music!

Another
video
of
his
favourites
is
the
character
‘Munna
Bhai’
This
worked
like
magic
for
him.
People
started
liking
his
style
and
even
his
village
people
started
recognizing
him.
“I
believe
in
Shahrukh
Khan’s
dialogue
from
Om
Shanti
Om
-“When
you
want
something,
the
whole
universe
conspires
in
order
for
you
to
achieve
it”
–
Masum
told
us
proudly.
Masum
created
his
profile
on
the
Indian
short
video
app,
Josh,
during
the
pandemic
and
replicated
the
similar
style
of
content
there.
Josh’s
audience
was
a
match
for
his
style,
as
Josh
has
over
100Mn
people
who
live,
breathe
and
dream
cinema
like
Masum
does.
To
cater
to
the
diverse
Indian
audience
on
Josh,
he
began
to
recreate
scenes
from
South
Indian
films
(but
in
Hindi).

His
recreated
scenes
became
viral
and
to
his
surprise,
he
started
earning
money
on
Josh.
Masum
was
so
happy
to
finally
receive
the
first
payment
from
any
social
media
for
his
content
through
Josh’s
Creator
Pro
program.
This
program
judges
content
engagement
only,
and
does
not
need
a
creator
to
have
millions
of
followers
or
hundreds
of
videos.
As
Masum
says,
“There
is
no
bigger
happiness
and
satisfaction
than
earning
money
doing
what
you
really
love.
Thanks
to
Creator
Pro,
my
faith
in
hard
work
is
restored.” From
his
early
days
of
entertaining
customers
in
a
cement
shop
to
his
transition
into
a
known
entertainer,
Masum’s
life
has
turned
around.
He
is
so
proud
that
his
fellow
villagers
love
his
videos
and
follow
him.
Masum
still
wishes
to
be
recognized
by
Bollywood
movie
director
Rohit
Shetty
someday
and
get
a
chance
to
showcase
his
talent
in
a
Bollywood
movie!
