Saad Ahmed: A Popular YouTuber
Saad Ahmed was a popular YouTuber in Pakistan who attracted a lot of followers with his interesting vlogs and real content. He had a close relationship with his audience and frequently examined many facets of daily life. Saad’s abrupt death devastated his family even more because he was their only source of income.
