Starting with editing as an amusement, he began exploring his interests. He also gave many auditions for the south industry, thinking they would recognize his talent, but God has his plans. They rejected him for various reasons, but his dreams were big enough with no expiration date. He decided to try harder each time he faced a rejection. And from this trial and error method towards the path of success arose a channel named Warangal Diaries. Observing has helped in understanding and believing in the vision he carried in his mind when no one else did.
Warangal Diaries is a comedy channel that has gained more than 200 million views for his comedic sketches, short films, music video, and social experiments. He has garnered more than 1 million YouTube subscribers and also gained more than 159,000 followers to his @iamnabeelafridi Instagram account. He says, these days raw talent is being found on YouTube, and such a platform to showcase skills and grab opportunities is a benefit. To be whatever you want to be, you have to constantly learn and showcase your work to the audience sitting behind the screen. Such platforms work as a medium of exposure, bearing opportunities and creative freedom all at once.
His achievements include, Silver and Gold YouTube play buttons, DIA 2020 for Rising YouTuber, and DIA 2021 for Star Fashion Influencer. During the year 2018 he got the chance to perform in the YouTube Fan-fest at the Shilpkala Vedhika and also at the YouTube Fan-fest at Forum Srujana Mall during the year 2019. Being on Television and Local newspapers adds up to his achievements.
He says performing for the audience gives him a mere sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Although Warangal Diaries is a comedy-based channel, he believes in exploring every emotion through acting. He says, being known for the comedy his channel portrays, it gets relatively harder for people to understand and accept a person performing an uncommon emotion. Therefore, he dreams of a day when people accept him as an actor entirely, which might eventually take time.
I will always keep trying until I reach where I think I deserve to be, because it is only me who can break barriers for me. I strongly believe that with each day I am changing, in other words evolving and each milestone speaks to me with motivation, encouraging me to push myself beyond limits.
