One of India’s top stand up comedians, Zakir Khan created history as he became the first comedian to perform at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York, USA, entirely in Hindi.

Hailing Zakir for his achievement, US-based stand up comedian and actor of Indian origin Hasan Minhaj took to Instagram and shared a few pictures from the event.

Praising Zakir Khan, Hasan who attended the comedy event to show his support stated, “A historic night for comedy around the world! Last night I got to see my brother @zakirkhan_208 aka Zakir Bhai become the first comedian in history to headline @thegarden entirely in Hindi. He combines storytelling and poetry in ways that are elevating the genre of comedy to places I’ve never seen before. I also think my parents love him more than me (I’m okay with that).”

During his comedy show, an overwhelmed Zakir paused the event and got his parents on a video call. He then said to his father, “Papa, yeh aapse kuch kehna chahte hain (Papa, he wants to tell you something).”

This was followed by loud cheers, applause and laughter from the sold out crowd of 6000 at the iconic arena.

His parents were then seen folding their hands in gratitude and greeting the crowd by waving at them.

Popular celebs like Tabu, Zareen Khan, Farah Khan, Kay Kay Menon, Max Amini and Arjun Kapoor praised and applauded Zakir Khan for his historic show.
