Timeline: From Struggles to Viral Stardom

Early Life & Struggles (1992–2015) Born in Ghaziabad, Puneet battled drug addiction, alcohol dependency, and financial hardship. In 2015, he lost a low-paying job (₹10,000/month), marking a personal low point he later shared openly to inspire recovery and mental health discussions.

Social Media Entry (2016–2020) Started with lip-sync and comedy on TikTok. Gained traction by 2018 with viral shorts. Pivoted to Instagram Reels and YouTube after TikTok's 2020 ban in India—turning adversity into opportunity.

Breakout & Peak Fame (2021–2023)

These incidents highlight his polarizing style but haven't halted growth—fans value his authenticity.
