"I am aware that several Hollywood celebrities have shut down their
social media accounts due to hate messages and cyber bullying, and
while I am nowhere near as popular as they are on social media, I
am not exempted from online harassment either. I have had my share
of aggressive cyber bullies from Afghanistan sending hateful tweets from
anonymous accounts - however, I made up my mind long ago that I was
not going to give up and I am very happy today to see that my
resilience has paid off and I get to have the last laugh," says
Rabbani in reference to the challenges of living a public life
under the scrutiny of a conservative Afghan society.

'Alpha Male' thorough his self-owned record label Rabbani Records. The combined views on videos
