Ozzy you’ve become an online sensation with your comedy skits, how did the concept come about of doing such work?
It was just for fun to start with, I made a few 15 seconds comedy videos and posted it on Instagram and soon I was followed by thousands. I’ve never looked back since then.
A lot of your work includes real subjects that British Asians can relate to, where do such inspirations come from?
Being a British Asian myself, I know how innocent us Asians are especially the older generation, I just think of a subject, create it into a comedy skit for entertainment purposes.

Jouney so far has been amazing, I’m proud of what I have achieved so far. It’s the immense love and support that I recieve keeps me going.
Which one video do you think that you’ve released gave you the biggest boost?
In my early days it was the “ICE CUBE” video and similar ones that people enjoyed the most. It’s hard to pick in recent time because so many has over a million views but one video called “GIRLS AGE” has over 3 million views making it my most successful thusfar.
