Early Life & Education

Iftekhar Rafsan was born on July 6, 1997, in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Raised by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rafsan, he grew up with his brother, Nafis Rafsan, in a home filled with the aromas of Bengali cooking.

His ethnicity is Bangladeshi, rooted in the region’s rich Bengali heritage, and he follows Islam, a cornerstone of his identity.

Rafsan attended Ideal School & College in Dhaka for his early education, excelling in his studies. He later pursued a BSc in Computer Science and Technology at an Independent University in Bangladesh, graduating with skills that enabled him to edit videos and compete in games competitively.

Career

Rafsan launched his YouTube channel, Rafsan TheChotobhai, in 2016, starting with gaming videos before transitioning into food vlogging in 2018 with “Best Coffee in Dhaka?”, which gained significant popularity.

He had over 2.9 million subscribers and more than 210 videos, making him Bangladesh’s top food vlogger.

His honest and funny reviews of street food and restaurants, such as his viral “counterfeit restaurant” video, resonate with fans.

As a pro esports athlete named “Outlaw,” he’s played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive since 2015, representing Bangladesh with teams like Nomads and Xtreme Lungiz at events like ESL India 2017 (Champion) and ASUS ROG Masters 2017.

He made his acting debut in the 2021 Eid drama The Teacher and has since starred in TV commercials for Grameenphone, Samsung, and Airtel.

In 2023, he launched BLU, an electrolyte drink, although it faced legal issues due to a lack of BSTI approval. In 2024, he became the first Bangladeshi invited to YouTube’s APAC HQ in Singapore, proudly waving a jamdani flag.

Personal Life

Rafsan lives in Dhaka and is single with neither a spouse nor children.

Standing at 188 cm (6 feet 2 inches), he’s known for his tall, fit frame and casual style. He’s close to his brother, Nafis, and loves his mom’s tehari, calling it his favorite dish.

Rumors of a romance between Tasneem Sunehra and the individual in question are unconfirmed, as they claim to be just friends. Rafsan enjoys gaming, coffee at North End Coffee Roasters, and watching Peaky Blinders.

His faith in Islam shapes his values, and he’s passionate about showcasing Bangladesh’s food and culture, from street fuchka to Sylhet’s tea gardens. In 2022, he raised funds for flood relief, showing his big heart.

Net Worth

Rafsan’s net worth is estimated to be between $1 million and $3 million.

His income comes from YouTube ad revenue ($ 10,000–$ 50,000 monthly), brand deals with Grameenphone, Airtel, and Sony, as well as his BLU beverage brand.

His 2.9 million subscribers and 1. million Instagram followers boost his sponsorship earnings. An $8M estimate seems inflated, so I chose a conservative range based on his career trajectory. Rafsan The ChotobhaiRafsan The Chotobhai
