Stand-up comedian Zakir Khan, known for his unique style and unhinged humour, is currently busy with his recent tour Papa Yaar. While Zakir Khan is touring right now, he has announced that he will soon
be taking a long break from comedy. During his recent show in Hyderabad, Zakir announced his decision to take a break, and this clip is now going viral on social media.
In the clip, Zakir, while speaking to the audience gathered, shared his plan and said,
“I’m going on a long, long break. Probably till 2028–29, or even 2030. It will be a break of three, four, or five years to take care of my health and to sort out a few other things. So everyone present here right now is very close to my heart. Your presence means more to me than you can imagine, and I will always be grateful to all of you. Thank you so much.”

Later on Tuesday, the actor shared an Instagram story, and while hinting at the break that he has already spoken about, the comedian wrote, “Every show is a celebration till June 20. I won’t be able to come to many cities this time, so please make a little extra effort and come to the shows. Thank you for all the love.”
Zakir has spoken about his health concerns earlier as well. Khan, in one of his posts, had shared how touring takes a toll on his health. The comedian wrote,
“I’ve been touring for the last ten years. Though I’m extremely blessed to receive your love and affection, touring this extensively is not good or healthy. Trying to satisfy everyone you meet, doing two to three shows in a day, sleepless nights, early morning flights, and no fixed timetable for meals. I’ve been unwell for a year, but I had to work because it felt important at the time.”
“I absolutely love being on stage, but I’ll have to take a break now. I didn’t want to, and I’ve been ignoring this for a year. But now I feel that before it’s too late, I should take the break. That’s why this time the India tour will be limited to a few cities. I won’t be able to add more shows, and after recording this special, I’ve been advised to go on a long break,” he further added.
Zakir Khan’s Papa Yaar tour is expected to continue till mid-February.
