DHA wali maid, who is based in Lahore, first built an online following by posting videos of her daily routine while working as domestic help, offering glimpses of cooking, cleaning and life at her employer's house.

Her content has since earned her a large following across Instagram, Tik. Tok and You. Tube, where her subscriber count recently crossed one million.

In an earlier video, she said she had been working for the same employer for five years, and that the first thing she did once she had saved enough money was enrol her children in a private school in her village.

Dissatisfied with the standard of education there, she said she began looking for a school in the city once her finances allowed for it.
