Riyaz Aly was born on September 14, 2003, in Jaigaon, Bhutan (yeah, not India—Bhutan, wild, right?), but he’s an Indian star through and through. Came up in a regular ol’ middle-class fam, did his school thing at Shri Hanuman Mandir Dharamshala in Jaigaon. Apparently, he was obsessed with acting, music, and fashion since, like, grade school. That explains the whole influencer glow-up.
Now, for the stats everyone loves to Google: By 2025, Riyaz clocks in at 22 years old. He’s about 5’6″ (168 cm if you’re into the metric stuff), weighs around 60 kg (which is like 132 lbs, give or take depending on if he’s had lunch), has dark brown eyes, and rocks black hair. The guy’s got that babyface, killer wardrobe game, and basically owns the Gen Z influencer scene in India.
How’d he get there? Well, TikTok did most of the heavy lifting. Riyaz started off posting those short lip-sync and dance clips (you know, back when TikTok wasn’t illegal in India). Within months, he was everywhere—like, you couldn’t scroll without seeing his face. Even after TikTok got the boot in 2020, he just hopped over to Insta, YouTube, and started popping up in music videos.
He’s teamed up with all sorts of big names—Neha Kakkar, Tony Kakkar, Anushka Sen, the whole gang. Songs like “Pahadan,” “Yaari Hai,” and “Superstar” got his fans (and haters, let’s be honest) talking. By 2025, he’s done Punjabi and Hindi music vids, fashion deals, brand promos—the works. And rumour has it, Bollywood and OTT are calling his name next. Fans are practically foaming at the mouth waiting for that.
Now, about his love life—people are nosy, what can you do? He’s always linked with whoever he shares a screen with (Anushka Sen, Avneet Kaur, the usual suspects), but he’s never confirmed anything official. Guy likes to keep it mysterious, which only makes the stans more obsessed, obviously.
Cash-wise? Not exactly struggling. Riyaz is sitting on an estimated ₹10–12 crore (that’s about $1.2–1.5 mil USD, so yeah, not bad for a dude who started with phone videos). He rakes it in from music videos, Insta promos, YouTube collabs, modelling, brand deals—the whole influencer starter pack, honestly.
Big picture: Millions of followers (mostly teens who’d probably faint if he liked their comment), a style that’s always on-point, and a dance move or two that gets copied to death online. As of 2025, he’s showing no signs of slowing down. If you ever needed proof that social media can flip your life upside-down in the best way, this dude is it.
