Here’s a quick primer on The Ajaira LTD—the Bangladeshi sketch-comedy collective whose videos keep popping up in everyone’s YouTube recommendations.
Who they are
- Origins & launch. The channel was created on 16 July 2012 but only began posting skits regularly in May 2016 with the debut short “Deshi vs B-Deshi.”
- Tagline. Their cheeky mission statement—“Wasting time is also an art ;)”—appears across their social profiles and channel banner.
- Core members. The public face of the group is actor-creator Prottoy Heron (b. 4 June 2001) alongside long-time collaborator Faiyaz Abrar (b. 1999).

What they make
- Sketches & parody songs. Their runaway hit “Boshen Boshen Song” (2019) racked up millions of views and cemented their place in Bangla-language meme culture.
- Short-film one-shots. Notable titles include
- “Shesh Chithi” (2017) – a 26-minute emotional drama about brotherhood.
- “Shukher Khela” – an early comedy short still doing the rounds in fan playlists.
Recent activity
After a lengthy lull, the troupe teased a comeback in a video released for Eid-al-Adha on 20 June 2024, promising “Ajaira LTD is back after five years,” and they’ve since resumed monthly uploads.
Why they matter
- Local dialect, global punch-lines. Their humor leans on Dhaka street vernacular but riffs on universal Gen-Z quirks—making the sketches share-able even with subtitles.
- DIY production ethos. Most projects are scripted, shot, and edited in-house, typically starring the founders themselves; the low-budget charm has become part of the brand’s authenticity.
- Cultural impact. They helped kick-start Bangladesh’s influencer-driven sketch-comedy wave, paving the way for other collectives and solo creators.
