Ramsha Sultan: India’s First Hijabi Influencer

Ramsha Sultan is India’s first Hijabi influencer, rising to fame through beauty vlogs and the Ramadan Series. She uses social media to empower women, understand and challenge stereotypes, and advocate for financial independence. Despite online trolling, she remains a strong voice for change, inspiring millions with her content on personal freedom, mental health, and faith. Let’s get to know her.

Thoughts Beyond Engineering

Ramsha Sultan never imagined that she would become a social media sensation. She was born into a nuclear and loving family and eventually grew to become an active and bright student. From participating in debates, poetry, and monologues to playing volleyball nationally, she was always on the stage, receiving awards. But life had different plans for her.

Like most Indian students, she pursued engineering in Electronics and Communication Engineering degree. But as time passed, she felt disconnected from her studies. She realised engineering was just theory with little room for personal expression. She decided to take a bold step, creating her own YouTube channel.

“I was bored of just studying and taking exams. I wanted to do something that truly made me happy,” Ramsha shared. This simple decision changed her life forever.

Influencer under Burkha

Ramsha started her YouTube journey in 2017, focusing on beauty and lifestyle content. She shared makeup tips, skincare hacks, and home remedies, attracting a decent audience. However, her ‘Ramadan Series’ truly made her famous.

During the holy month, she posted videos that connected deeply with her audience, especially women from the Muslim community. Viewers felt connected to her faith-based content, and soon, her subscriber count crossed a million. Today, each of her videos gets over 150K views, making her one of India’s prominent content creators.

But Ramsha wanted more than just numbers and money; she wanted to bring change. She realised the power of social media and decided to use her platform to empower women, challenge misconceptions, and encourage financial independence for women from the Muslim community who men and their families often overlook.

One Post, One Truth and One Step Towards Change

One of Ramsha’s strongest beliefs is that a woman’s freedom is not tied to her clothing. She boldly questions why society often associates independence with short clothes.

“Women should have the right to wear what they want, choose their career, and decide their own future,” she says.

Ramsha has used her platform to address often-overlooked topics like menstrual health, mental well-being, and personal freedom. She firmly believes that conversations about these subjects must happen in every household.

Time She Faced the Ugly Side of Social Media

Internet success comes with challenges, and Ramsha has had her fair share of online trolling. From faceless haters to unnecessary criticism, she has seen it all. But instead of letting negativity affect her, she has learned to rise above it.

“As a content creator, you need thick skin. People will say anything, but I choose to focus on the love and respect I receive,” she shared in her post.

Unlike many others, she feels blessed that most of her followers support her work. Their encouragement keeps her going and pushes her to create more meaningful content.

Empowerment comes in Many Forms,

For Ramsha, financial independence is one of the most important aspects of a woman’s life. She strongly believes that women should make their own decisions and never let society dictate their future.

“Take advice, but always do what feels right for you. Nobody has the right to control your life. You are complete as you are, embrace your womanhood with grace,” she spoke on a live stream.

A Mission to Represent Muslim Women Globally

Despite all the challenges, Ramsha remains deeply grateful for the love she has received. She believes her journey is just beginning, and her ultimate goal is to represent Muslim women globally.

“I wake up every day feeling humbled and motivated to create content that serves humanity. If I can make a small difference in someone’s life, my job is done,” she felt, so she posted.

With millions of followers and an ever-growing impact, Ramsha Sultan is not just an influencer; she’s a movement. She wants to be a voice that refuses to be silenced.
