These days, Instagram rules over everything. Getting popular on there is really hard though. But Aisan Eslami آیسان اسلامی [in Farsi] has gotten the attention of millions of people in Iran! His bold videos are really different from normal Instagram stuff. So how did this regular guy from a tiny town become such a huge star? Let’s learn his story.
Humble Small Town Start
Eslami is from a little village up north in Mazandaran province. It’s a truly beautiful place with farms, forests, and mountains everywhere. He was born there in 1986. Sadly, his childhood had some tough times that impacted him a lot.
Family Hardships
When Eslami was 10, his parents broke up. And his dad struggled with opium addiction. His mom couldn’t handle the difficulties anymore and left the family. So Eslami went to live with his uncle’s family instead and didn’t see his mom again for a long time.
But Eslami’s relatives were wealthy landowners. So, even as a kid, he had way more money than the other village boys and got to drive a nice car while pretty young! Still, Eslami felt out of place and different from the other teens.
School Dropout
The kids in Eslami’s school were much older than him, making classes uncomfortable. The teachers didn’t stop the constant fooling around and bad behavior either. Feeling frustrated with it all, he decided to drop out.
Early Instagram Days
A few years later, Instagram started blowing up in Iran. Just for fun, Eslami began sharing photos of his sweet cars and muscle progress from working out. His friends and family cheered him on, but doubted he could ever actually get famous.
