If you follow Nischay Malhan aka Triggered Insaan on social media, then you already know that he tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Ruchika Rathore on June 9. The pictures from their intimate wedding in Himachal have already taken over the internet, and fans can’t get enough of this content-creator couple marking such a significant milestone in their lives.
And if you’re unaware of him and wondering who this viral couple is, you’ll find all your answers here. From his childhood to his journey as a successful content creator, and from his family life to his long-term relationship—we’ve covered it all.
Born and Brought Up
Born on November 14, 1995, Nischay has lived in Delhi all his life. He attended Lancer’s Convent School. From an early age, he was a bright student, particularly strong in mathematics and science, which later led him to pursue engineering. After finishing school, he joined the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi, and earned a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication.
From Nischay Malhan to Triggered Insane
Despite excelling in academics, Nischay faced bullying during his early school days. Those experiences stayed with him and eventually became a driving force behind his decision to create roasting content on YouTube.
It was during his college days, when he was struggling with academics and internships, that he decided to start a YouTube channel and share funny, relatable content.
What many people don’t know is that before his comedy videos, Nischay had already created a YouTube channel named “Nischay Malhan” back in 2012, where he uploaded videos related to computer programming. After a gap of seven years, he returned to YouTube, about seven months ago, this time with his signature roast-style content.
In July 2014, he launched his second channel, Triggered Insaan, where he began posting reaction videos, roasts, and humorous vlogs. It didn’t take long for him to gain popularity under that name.
In November 2017, he launched his third channel, Live Insaan, where he streams gaming videos with humorous commentary. That, too, gained a huge following.
Today, with 24.2 million subscribers on just one of his YouTube channels (not counting the others) and 10.8 million followers on Instagram, Nischay has firmly made his mark as one of India’s top content creators.
Nischay Malhan’s Family
On the personal front, Nischay is the elder brother of Bigg Boss OTT 2 participant Abhishek Malhan, also known as Fukra Insaan. Their sister, Prerna Malhan, is the creator of the popular travel and lifestyle channel Wanderers Hub. Interestingly, all three siblings are well-known in the digital content space.
Nischay Malhan’s and Ruchika Rathore’s relationship
Nischay and Ruchika’s love story dates back to 2018 when they were both college students. Ruchika, too, is a content creator with 1.4 million followers on Instagram. She’s known for her aesthetic reels and content that resonates with Gen Z and millennials. The couple often collaborates on videos together.
They got engaged in December 2024 and have now tied the knot.
