YouTube
In 2019, he started his YouTube channel. Following its launch, he began visiting Lahore’s Liberty Market, engaging people in discussions about topics like Muslims in India, the Kashmir partition, and inflation in Pakistan. He faced a lot of backlash and received threats from both fellow YouTubers and individuals he interviewed. They labelled him as an Indian and accused him of receiving financial help from India for creating such content. During an interview, he discussed the challenges faced at the start of his YouTube journey. He revealed that his former colleagues from his prior news channels warned him that focusing on content related to India might leave him with no chance of returning to a mainstream media role. He did not care about the consequences and started creating content centred around India vs. Pakistan to change the perspectives of individuals in Pakistan. He also started “Mission Kashmir” on his YouTube channel, conducting interviews where he inquired whether Kashmir should be part of India or Pakistan.

Controversy
In 2023, Sohaib was involved in a controversy for his visit to Karachi in support of the minority community. He claimed that a historic 150-year-old temple in Pakistan was demolished by the Muslims. Upon visiting the site, he expressed deep concern for the minority population’s situation. Sohaib initiated a protest against the government’s actions and reached out to fellow Pakistani YouTubers to join the cause, but none of them participated.
