Meet Akash Asghar Turning Words into Impact

In 2018, Akash Asghar stepped into the world of social media, not by his own plan, but through the encouragement of a close friend. His friend, Zahoor Memon, who lived in Islamabad at that time, noticed something different about him. During school days, Akash was known for his speeches bold, confident, and full of energy. Zahoor recognized his natural gift of communication and believed these talents deserved a wider audience.

One day, Zahoor suggested that Akash should have a Facebook page in his name. At first, Akash was unsure. He didn’t even know how to create a page. Zahoor then offered to make it himself and told Akash, “You only need to focus on your speeches. Send them to me, and I’ll post them. You have public speaking power, and one day, your videos will reach millions.” With trust in his friend’s vision, Akash agreed.

For almost a year, the page remained in Zahoor’s hands while Akash continued giving speeches in school and sending them to him. Then came 2021, the year that changed everything. Akash went live from Larkana, where heavy rains had destroyed the roads, and he openly spoke about the failures of governance. That live video spread like wildfire, reaching around 3.5 lakh views. For Akash, it was more than just a viral video it was proof that his voice could highlight real issues and touch people across the country.

After this turning point, Akash continued creating content on social issues, raising awareness about matters that many ignored. One of his most remarkable moments was a live interview with renowned journalist Mr. Mushtaq. That video gained more than 2 million views and brought Akash recognition as someone who could engage people and spark conversations that mattered.

But Akash’s journey is not only about social media. Alongside his digital work, he is pursuing a career in law. Currently in his final year, he is preparing for his exams to officially step into the legal profession. His passion for law began during his early visits to the district courts. As a young student, he witnessed injustice and unfair treatment of people, and those scenes left a deep mark on him. By the time he was in grade 9 and 10, he had already made up his mind: he would become a lawyer and fight for justice.

Now, as Akash stands at the edge of completing his degree, he carries a vision that connects both his fields. For him, social media is a tool to raise awareness, while law is a platform to take action. Together, they form his mission: to be a voice for the oppressed and bring change to society.

Message to the Youth:
Akash Asghar strongly believes that young people are the real strength of any nation. He encourages them to never underestimate the power of their voice. “Even a simple step, like speaking up against injustice or sharing awareness on social media, can create ripples of change,” he says. His advice is clear: “Don’t wait for opportunities to come. Start now, use your skills, and keep moving forward with honesty and courage. InshaAllah, the world will hear you.”
