Iftekhar Rafsan, better known as 'Rafsan The ChotoBhai', is a prominent YouTuber in Bangladesh. He is inarguably one of the most popular food-vloggers in the country, though he terms himself as more of an 'entertainer' than food-vlogger. In a recent interview on HardPixelTV, he spoke about his life, YouTubing and beyond.

Rafsan, 22, has gained a lot of popularity making videos on YouTube. But that doesn't make him feel like a celebrity. "When I am in front of the camera, I cannot afford to switch from what I actually am. I like to talk to people and make friends. But a lot of people text me and sometimes it becomes difficult for me to reply to all of them," he said.

When asked how it all started and the story behind the title "Rafsan The ChotoBhai," he said, "I was in class eight and I randomly filmed a video. The name 'Rafsan The ChotoBhai' came as randomly as the video. Everyone sort of laughed at it and I was compelled to make the video private. That's when I decided that I'd make the video public again when my YouTube channel reaches 1 million subscribers."
