What makes the interviews different?

Most celebrity interviews in the region are short and promotional. Anas lets guests talk for an hour or more and returns to a few simple questions: who were you as a child, what scares you, what would you change. Viewers often say the quiet pace is the point. Guests open up because nobody is rushing them, and the clips that spread online are usually moments of honesty rather than gossip.

How Anas Bukhash grew his audience

His growth came from long interviews rather than viral stunts. Three habits stand out:

  • He invites guests that both Arab and international viewers know, from footballers to film stars.
  • He publishes the full conversation on YouTube and then cuts short, emotional moments for Instagram and TikTok, which send new viewers back to the long version.
  • He keeps the set and style the same in every episode, so the show feels familiar even when the guest is new.

The result is an audience that watches for a long time, which matters more to sponsors than raw follower counts. With 3.73 million YouTube subscribers and almost 445 million views, an average #ABtalks video has drawn about 355,000 views.

Anas Bukhash businesses
