Zakir’s hard-to-resist rustic humor, compelling acts and relatable anecdotes have the charm to strike a chord with people from every section of Indian society. One of the few comics to consistently sell out venues across the country, Zakir’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. We are humbled to have such a pioneer of storytelling in Indian comedy as a Gaana Podcast Original host and are confident his take on life, struggle and the ensuing success had hundreds of millions of Gaana users nodding and smiling.

Hope is the tiny light that helps us sail through the darkness of our turbulent lives. It's one of the most powerful emotions we feel, and it's been my rock in times of uncertainty and helped me bounce back from life’s strains. I have been an ardent listener of Gaana, and am happy to partner with these great people to share positivity and optimism from the stories related to my life.
