Popular Indian stand-up comedian Zakir Khan has been in the headlines lately. Earlier in January, the comedian announced a long break from live tours during his show in Hyderabad. As he mentioned during the announcement that he is taking a break due to health issues and personal reasons, the news sparked rumors of his declining health. With the buzz high, the comedian addressed the matter again, rejecting the poor health buzz and revealing the real reason behind his hiatus.

A video on social media has been circulating where the stand-up comedian Zakir Khan addressed the health scare rumors, saying, “Tumne jo internet pe padha hai vo jhuth hai bhai.” With this statement, he rejected all the rumors about his poor health.

He also revealed the real reason behind his break from stand-up comedy, he said, “The story behind the break is that a lot of writing work has come which I wasn’t able to do in the last six years.”

Also, regarding his health, Zakir clarified that it is not too bad, just a bit. He claimed that whatever has been written on the internet is false, and he is on a minus twenty stage.

In his comical way, Zakir further said, “The people writing it are also terrible, and on top of that, they mention that a very close family source has confirmed this. My family stays with me, so we see each other’s faces, asking who said and confirmed it?”

While talking about his return, Zakir promised that, until he is alive, he will perform and serve the people, and ended his explanation with the line that, since he has stepped out now, he will return only after creating history.
