Sham and his family moved to Ontario, Canada, when he was 10 years old. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the ‘University of Ontario.’ For his higher education, he initially chose to study finance, but after some time, he dropped out and chose to study Marketing at ‘Toronto University.’ While he was still pursuing his education, Sham was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, which is an inflammatory bowel disease. He was hospitalized for four months and lost 40 pounds.

Sham has a huge female fan following as he is blessed with perfectly chiseled body, blue-grey eyes, attractive smile, and a charming personality. He was rumored to be dating Froggy, who has appeared in many of his music videos. Some of his fans even claimed that they have been married for long. However, Sham denied all such rumors and stated that Froggy is his best friend whom he has known since his college days. They both display an amazing on-screen chemistry and are often compared to Bollywood’s iconic on-screen couple, Shahrukh Khan and Kajol.

While studying in college, Sham had the opportunity to meet people who helped him shape his social media career. In 2012, he met the popular musician Karter Zaher, who inspired Sham to compose songs. Sham soon made his singing debut with the track ‘Bolo Na,’ which became a chartbuster.

In 2013, Sham and Karter released their collaborative track ‘Dil Dil Pakistan,’ which became viral all over the internet. Also, the music video of the track became famous as it was viewed by millions of fans. The video became a hit in Pakistan, despite the fact that Pakistan had banned YouTube at the time of its release. The video was aired on various Pakistani television channels like ‘PTV,’ ‘Geo TV,’ and ‘AAG TV.’ This increased Sham’s popularity in Pakistan and other Asian countries.

On November 19, 2013, he created his own YouTube channel. He started off by posting comedy videos and later added variety to his video posts. Simultaneously, he began posting videos on his Facebook page, and thus began his career in social media.
