Who is Zara Dar? PhD dropout-turned OnlyFans model; is she Indian or Pakistani? Here’s the REAL truth
In recent decades, a rapid expansion in internet adoption has opened up new career avenues for people, including controversial ones like churning out adult content on platforms like OnlyFans, Pornhub, etc. One such individual who has stirred quite a buzz of late is Zara Darcy, aka Zara Darcy, a young woman who dropped out of a PhD course to pursue a career in adult content creation on OnlyFans.
Who is Zara Dar?
Zara Dar, a YouTuber from Texas, United States, is an OnlyFans model who shot to fame (or infamy) after a debate over her ethnicity sparked a buzz on social media.
Notably, Zara Dar left a potentially high-profile career in academics to become an full-time adult content creator on OnlyFans, a decision she says was mandated by compulsions such as financial instability, pressures of academia, and a need to attain some level of recognition.
Is Zara Dar Indian or Pakistani?
Following her OnlyFans fame, speculations about her origins sparked curiosity among netizens with users debate whether the adult creator had Indian or Pakistani roots. Due to her Indian-sounding last name, many speculated about her purported Indian origins, but Zara later clarified she has mixed ancestry that also includes a slice of Indian genes.
Zara clarified that she has no Pakistani connections, and people are confusing her with her namesake, Zara Dar– a Pakistani influencer.
“With all due respect, I am not Pakistani. I believe some people are confusing me with a beautiful influencer named “Zara Dar” @ZaraNaeemDar . I am American, born and raised, with a mixed background: American, Persian, Southern European, Middle Eastern, and Indian,” she wrote on X.
Zara also said that her surname is Darcy, which she has now shortened to Darz/Dar, apparently to sound more ‘exotic’ on OnlyFans.
How Zara Dar turned from STEM YouTuber to OnlyFans?
Notably, Zara Dar was once pursuing a PhD, dropped out of the course and dived into the world of adult content creation, but maintains that she is not “particularly sad” about her decision, even though she admits it was a “stressful one”.
“‘I’ve cried so much over this decision because it’s a stressful one, not that I’m particularly sad,” Zara Dar says in a candid video on her YouTube channel which has now gone viral on the video-sharing platform.
What is Zara Dar’s net worth?
While there is no publicly available information about the exact net worth of Zara Dar, the young influencer revealed in her viral video that she has made over “$1 million” on OnlyFans, which has helped her pay off her family’s mortgage, buy a car, and avoid taking out student loans.
“My accomplishments are a testament to the tangible rewards of carving my own path and the freedom it has brought me,” she stated.
Why Zara Dar went viral?
Zara Dar had put out a video titled “PhD Dropout to OnlyFans Model”, which went viral on the platform, sparking a debate among netizens about the budding YouTuber’s choice to step away from an academic career and into the murky world of adult content creation.
Notably, Zara’s official YouTube channel (@zara-dar) has nothing to do with adult content of any sort, and is focused on science and STEM-related educational videos. The young woman often shared her research experiences and STEM-related insights on her channel which now has over 1.8 lakh subscribers.
While Zara’s focus on her YouTube channel has dropped considerably after she became a full-time OnlyFans model, but she claims that she will continue to teach STEM-related content on the platform.
”I will continue teaching STEM-related content on my YouTube channel. Pursuing OnlyFans full-time has given me the freedom to learn and share new content,” she says.’
