KARAK – A name borrowed from a hometown has become closely associated with Muhammad Afnan on TikTok.
Known as Karak King, the creator from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has attracted millions of followers through his videos.
Afnan comes from Karak, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He started sharing videos on social media with a much smaller audience. As he continued posting, more viewers began following his account.
His audience grew from thousands to hundreds of thousands and later reached the millions. Afnan now has 4.7 million followers on TikTok, where he shares videos focused mainly on entertainment and his personality.
He did not start out in television or film. TikTok became the place where Afnan could make his own videos and share them directly with viewers. People came to his account for the content he was making, and his audience continued to grow.
The name Karak King has stayed with him throughout his time on social media. It comes from his hometown and has become the name many viewers associate with his TikTok work.
Afnan’s work also includes entrepreneurship and brand collaborations. These activities have added a business side to his work alongside content creation.
His experience also shows that creators can find large audiences without starting in a major city. Afnan began making videos in Karak, while TikTok allowed him to reach viewers in different parts of Pakistan.
TikTok remains the main platform for his videos. He continues to share content with the audience he has gained over the years.
For Afnan, the name Karak King still points back to his hometown, even though his audience now extends far beyond Karak.
His audience is now in the millions, but the name he chose continues to connect his work with the place where he started.
