While attending [[University of Guelph]], Bal met fellow [[Indo-Canadians|Indo-Canadian]] comedian, [[Jus Reign]] and was invited to be in one of his YouTube videos. That first video was ''A-1 Shopping Cart Driving School'', and Bal impressed Jus Reign enough to be invited for a larger role in another video ''Desi Parents''.

After two years of creating YouTube videos, Bal became an official YouTube Partner and began earning money from his videos.


==Selected music videos==
His YouTube fame was noticed by Punjabi music legend and actor Harbhajan Mann, who offered him a role in his Punjabi film ''Haani''. In a candid podcast interview with [[Amin Dhillon]], Bal describes the moment he received the phone call from Mann. Originally Bal thought he was being pranked and hung up on the Mann. The transition from YouTube comedian to actor was difficult for Bal. He wasn't a trained actor and had never been on a film set before.
