Abhishek Malhan once decided he would do anything in life except Roadies. He told IANS in September 2026 that when Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman were running the auditions, he had made up his mind about it, and that he has never watched a complete season. This year he is one of the six gang leaders of Roadies Rebirth, leading the NewG team.
The reversal fits his career. Malhan, known online as Fukra Insaan, started a YouTube channel in July 2019, became a household name through Bigg Boss OTT 2 in 2023, and now moves between creator content, reality TV, music and hosting. This profile covers each step and what the Roadies job means for him.
Who Is Abhishek Malhan?
Abhishek Malhan is an Indian YouTuber, singer and internet personality from New Delhi, popularly known as Fukra Insaan. He is known for challenge and comparison videos, for finishing as the first runner-up of Bigg Boss OTT 2, and for appearing on reality shows including Playground Season 3 and Temptation Island India. IMDb also lists him as the host of a survival game show on Netflix India’s YouTube channel.
How Old Is Abhishek Malhan?
Abhishek Malhan is 29 years old as of 15 October 2026. He was born on 24 May 1997 in Delhi. Profile sources place his upbringing in Pitampura, in north-west Delhi.
Why Is He Called Fukra Insaan?
Fukra is Delhi slang for a carefree, fun-loving person, and Fukra Insaan is the name of the channel he launched in July 2019. A profile on thecityceleb says he was inspired by creators such as MrBeast and KSI. Wikibio adds that the channel earned him YouTube’s Silver and Gold Creator Awards, the Gold award marking one million subscribers. A third-party profile now puts the channel above 12 million subscribers, but that figure is not dated.
Career
YouTube and music
The channel built its audience on challenge videos and comparisons. His family is part of the content world too: his mother, Dimple Malhan, is a YouTuber, and his brother Nischay appears with him on shows such as The Thugesh Show. He has also moved into music, appearing and singing on Tum Mere (2021) with Crazydeep and, in 2024, Shikayat with Tony Kakkar.
Bigg Boss OTT 2 (2023)
Bigg Boss OTT 2 premiered on 17 June 2023 on JioCinema with Salman Khan as host. The finale on 14 August 2023 crowned Elvish Yadav, and Abhishek Malhan was the first runner-up after 58 days in the house. The season is described on Wikipedia as the most successful in the history of Bigg Boss OTT.
His relationship with winner Elvish Yadav became a talking point afterwards. Wikipedia lists a feud between them after the show, and entertainment sites later reported that the two would reunite on Temptation Island India. Belloria does not take a side in that dispute and has not found a primary source that settles it.
Reality shows and hosting
After Bigg Boss he kept appearing in unscripted formats. IANS names Playground Season 3 and Temptation Island India among his reality credits, and he has hosted a survival game show for Netflix India’s YouTube channel, according to IMDb.
Is Abhishek Malhan Part of Roadies Rebirth?
Yes. Abhishek Malhan is a NewG gang leader in Roadies Rebirth with Bani J and Baseer Ali, against OGs Neha Dhupia, Nikhil Chinapa and Prince Narula. Rannvijay Singha hosts. According to Wikipedia’s season table, he has not led a gang in earlier seasons, which makes Rebirth his first season as a gang leader.
His own take, in the September IANS interview, was that life completes circles: he used to wonder who would go there, and now he is the gang leader. In the show’s promo, the NewGs are shown in a push-up challenge that ends in a comic fail. Premiere date: 16 October 2026, every Friday and Saturday at 7 pm on JioHotstar and MTV.
