Indian comedian Zakir Khan has dismissed widespread rumours about his health, assuring fans that his condition is not serious and that online reports about him are largely exaggerated.
According to reports, Zakir Khan recently addressed speculation that began circulating after he announced a temporary break from his live comedy shows.
Speaking at a public event, the 38 year old comedian clarified that his health is “A little off” but not serious. He reassured fans that many of the alarming claims spreading online were inaccurate.
According to the comedian, the real reason behind his break from performing is the large amount of writing work he has accumulated over the past six years.
He explained that he had been unable to properly focus on the writing projects due to his busy touring schedule.
The stand up comedian also criticised online reports claiming that “Close family sources” had confirmed details about his health.
The comedian said his family was surprised by such claims and questioned who those supposed sources were.
Speculation about his health began earlier this year after Khan announced during a live performance in Hyderabad that he would be taking a long vacation from the stage.
The announcement came during his show Papa Yaar, and the clip quickly went viral on social media, triggering rumours about his well-being. However, the comedian has now made it clear that the break is simply a pause to focus on writing and personal work rather than any major health issue.
