We speak to influencer Jehangir Khan AKA Khan Diaries about his goals, his career as a male influencer and more.
How does it feel being one of the few male influencers in the industry?
It was pretty weird at first, but also game-changing. I always wanted to pave the way for male creators and encourage them to take risks.
How have you seen the social media game change since you started out?
When I started blogging in 2015, there were very few people in the game. Now you pick up a rock and you’d find an influencer underneath.
Who are your favourite Pakistani designers?
Munib Nawaz’s outfits are meant for me, they fit like a glove every time. I also love wearing my mothers brand, The Chapa House which is bringing a fusion of organic block printing back into the fashion game.
What do you do on your days off from work?
As a creative person, the mind never rests. I do like to spend quality time with family and friends and Netflix with my dog Odin.
Do you work out?
Yes! The only way I can fight all my demons. I believe it’s the best therapy for everybody.
What are your hobbies?
Traveling, experiencing different cultures, I also love learning languages.
Name three things on your bucket list.
- Do a short film as a lead.
- Be a successful entrepreneur.
- Take mama for Umrah / Hajj (In’sha’Allah).
What advice would you give to aspiring young people who want to be like you?
People will drag you down even if you join the herd mentality, so be fearless & BE YOU. Don’t be like me or anyone but discover yourself and be the best version of yourself. Also, stay humble!
