Post his win, the comic reflected on his experience on the show, revealing that it was a transformative journey for him.

"For me, it was not just about winning the show, but also about the journey I took to get there. I learned so much about myself and the world of influencers. How social media influences people's lives," shared Aakash.

'Social Currency' revolved around eight contestants who possessed a significant presence on social media and enjoyed a loyal following.

The primary objective was to determine who truly had a substantial social influence, starting from scratch in a controlled environment.

Aakash's ability to connect with his audience and remain authentic to himself distinguished him from the other participants, ultimately earning him the coveted winner's title.

"Most of the messages I have received have been about my authenticity. I was just trying to be as honest as I could and I feel that's what made me stand out. My humour and my lack of follower counts helped me to never get too ahead of myself," Aakash added.

Beyond his comedic talent, Aakash was admired for his intellect and practicality on the show. This is because his personal and professional journey has been a reflection of the fact that success can be attained through hard work, determination, and establishing a genuine connection with one's audience.

So, what's next for Aakash? The comic intends to utilise his platform to spread positivity and bring laughter to people's lives.

He is excited about his upcoming YouTube special, 'Nasty,' which will be released free of charge on July 7. Watch this space for more about Aakash and his work.
