Who Is Total Gaming?
Total Gaming's real name is Ajendra Variya, widely known to fans as Ajju Bhai. He is an Indian YouTuber and content creator best known for Garena Free Fire gameplay, and he currently ranks as India's most-subscribed gaming YouTuber. Multiple biography trackers list his hometown as Ahmedabad, Gujarat, though a few place him in Surat. His exact birth date isn't officially confirmed: different outlets have reported birth years ranging from 1994 to as late as 2002, so treat any specific age you see online with caution until Ajendra confirms it himself.
Info!
A correction from the earlier version of this article: Total Gaming's real name is Ajendra Variya, not "Ajay Choudhary." "Ajay" appears to be a nickname/shortened first name he has used casually in older videos and bios, but his full legal name confirmed across current sources is Ajendra Variya.
Early Life and How He Got Into Gaming
Ajendra grew up in a middle-class Gujarati household and reportedly had a technical streak before he ever picked up competitive gaming, having worked as a self-taught freelance programmer for a time. Several biography sites note he briefly pursued a diploma in information technology before dropping out to focus first on freelancing and then on content creation. His interest in gaming grew from casual mobile titles before he found the game that would define his career: Garena Free Fire.
Launching the Total Gaming Channel
Ajendra started the Total Gaming YouTube channel in 2018, uploading his first gameplay videos that December. At the time, his PC couldn't run Free Fire smoothly on mobile emulation the way he wanted, so he adapted his setup to keep improving. Early videos were straightforward Free Fire gameplay and commentary, but his energetic Hindi commentary and consistency quickly built a loyal audience.
Rise to Stardom Through Free Fire
Total Gaming's association with Free Fire remains the foundation of his career. His strategic, calm playstyle (rather than the more aggressive style favored by many battle royale streamers) combined with catchphrases like "Jai Hind" helped him stand out in a crowded field of Free Fire creators. As the game's popularity grew across India, so did his channel, eventually making him the country's top-ranked gaming YouTuber by subscriber count.
The Face Reveal: What Actually Happened
For years, Total Gaming kept his face hidden, a choice he spoke about publicly as a way of avoiding the social pressure and scrutiny that comes with online fame. That changed on December 30, 2023, when he uploaded a video officially revealing his face and confirming his name as Ajendra Variya. The reveal became one of the most-discussed moments in Indian YouTube gaming history that year, and rather than hurting his popularity as some feared, his engagement and subscriber growth continued climbing afterward.
Info!
This directly updates the earlier version of this article, which (accurately, at the time) reported that his face had not been revealed as of mid-2023. That is no longer the case.
Achievements and Awards
Total Gaming's channel has picked up YouTube's Silver, Gold, and Diamond Play Buttons over the years as his subscriber count climbed past 10 million, then 40 million, and beyond. His most notable recent recognition came at the Free Fire MAX Booyah Awards 2025, held in Kolkata in June 2025, where he won Creator of the Year after being shortlisted among five finalists in the category. He has also picked up earlier "Gaming Influencer of the Year" style recognitions from creator award circuits, and was among the nominees discussed around The Game Awards' content creator categories in 2024, though he was not among the eventual TGA content-creator winners.

Total Gaming's Net Worth and Income
Ajendra Variya has never publicly disclosed his exact income or net worth, so every figure floating around online is a third-party estimate built from YouTube ad-rate models, and these estimates disagree with each other significantly.
Warning!
Reported net worth estimates for Total Gaming in 2025-2026 range anywhere from roughly $1.5 million to over $14 million, depending on the tracking site and its assumptions. Monthly income estimates similarly range from around ₹6.5 lakh to over ₹1 crore. None of these are confirmed figures, so treat them as rough ballparks rather than facts.
What is consistent across sources is that his income comes primarily from YouTube ad revenue, brand sponsorships, Instagram promotions, Super Chats and channel memberships during live streams, and merchandise sales. Given his subscriber base and the scale of his live-stream viewership, it's safe to say he is among the highest-earning gaming creators in India, even without a precise number attached.
Total Gaming's Free Fire ID and Gaming Identity
Total Gaming's Free Fire UID has stayed consistent across sources for years: 451012596. His in-game name has appeared under a couple of variations in different clips and community posts over time, so if you're trying to find or friend his account in-game, cross-check the UID rather than relying on the display name alone.
