Zakir Khan rose to fame in 2012 by winning Comedy Central's India's Best Stand-Up Comedian competition and since then, he has been a part of a news comedy show, On Air with AIB. He has also released two-hour length standup specials: Haq Se Single (2017) and Kaksha Gyarvi (2018) on Amazon Prime Video.
Looking at the growing list of social media stars, Did Zakir ever feel that competition is getting higher every day he says, “I cannot kill everybody who is emerging, that’s an impossible task to do and I cannot be jealous of them as well. The only thing I can do is my work. Also, I am a very reluctant person to follow every possible trend in the world. I have never done that and that’s not something I am good at also. I have always done what I know how to do and that includes doing my shows, comedy, and doing the things I like. That’s the only thing I do and I don’t care about anything else.”

“If I don’t work hard on my crafts and my skills then who would come to watch it? I am selling so many tickets because there is a reason. People come for my skill and I have to keep up with it.”
