Zakir Khan, a popular stand-up comedian, has made his television debut with the show Aapka Apna Zakir. Known for his captivating stand-up performances and poetic shayaris, Zakir has quickly garnered a large fanbase and continues to impress with his unique style. The show will feature celebrities promoting their upcoming movies and web series, adding a fresh dimension to the entertainment scene.
Since the show’s launch, Zakir has been in the spotlight, particularly because his show has taken the place of the highly successful The Kapil Sharma Show. This shift has sparked comparisons between Zakir and Kapil Sharma, a comedy icon. However, in an interview with TV9 Bharatvarsh, Zakir addressed these comparisons, expressing his deep respect for Kapil Sharma. He acknowledged Kapil as a trailblazer in the comedy industry, someone who has paved the way for other comedians, including himself.
Zakir emphasized that Kapil’s success had a positive impact on his own career, even when he was just starting out as a comedian in Delhi. He continued to benefit from the path Kapil forged when he moved to Mumbai. Zakir made it clear that he holds Kapil in high regard and does not see any competition between them. He expressed his gratitude and admiration, stating that he comes from a place that has been illuminated by Kapil’s influence and is proud to acknowledge it.
