The comedian and social media personality, Raba Khan, is now trying her luck at singing and expanding her influence across new platforms.
Raba, who made a name for herself owing to her hilarious and witty social media videos, was selected as one of the honorees for Forbes’ 30 under 30 Asia Class of 2020.
She is known for her satirical videos which attempt to address entrenched social issues and stereotypes in Bangladesh through comedy. Her controversial best-seller book Bandhobi caused quite a stir after release because of its casual and lax use of Bangla language, which has been deemed insensitive by many.
Now, she is demonstrating her singing talents and fans could not be any happier. Raba has released two new songs, “Moharani” and “Domka Hawa” -- in collaboration with musician Arafat Mohsin.
The YouTuber expressed her hopes of releasing a full album soon. Her new singles will be available in the coming months on her official channel, “The Jhakanaka Project” which currently has 281k subscribers.
Raba served as a UNICEF Youth Ambassador to advocate for children’s rights in 2018. She started her YouTube channel “The Jhakanaka Project,” with her brother, in 2014.
