Zakir Khan has ventured into TV with his show 'Apka Apna Zakir'. The first episode of the show premiered on August 10, where Zakir welcomed 'Stree 2' stars Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. During the episode, Zakir was seen talking about "ghar" (home). In the video, Shraddha asked Zakir if she should buy her own house or stay with her parents, to which the stand-up comedian replied with emotional lines.
Zakir Khan, who left his house very early in life to help his family, has mentioned multiple times that leaving home is not an easy task. When Shraddha asked him if she should move to her own place, Zakir said, "Kuch toh hai jo ghar ka aangan de nahi pata, yoo hi safar mein nahi hota koi." He further explained, "Most people leave their house out of compulsion, and whenever I look at people who stayed back, I realize that I haven't earned anything in comparison to them."
