Career
editBorn in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Yashraj completed his schooling from Holy Cross English High School Aurangabad. Yashraj pursued his career in engineering and had also shown an interest in music. He began by exploiting his music composition in social media with spoof videos. In August 2020, he uploaded an edited video which added a rap song to a dialogue delivery by Rupal Patel who played the role of Kokila in the television soap opera Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.[5] The video quickly garnered 3 million views on Instagram and created a spate of related memes.[6] The reason for his sudden popularity is a video and music edit he recently made with a dialogue from the soap opera, 'Saath Nibhana Saathiya'.
