Comedian Zakir Khan has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first to perform a Hindi-language show at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden (MSG). The event resonated deeply with fans, who have followed Khan’s career since its inception. Videos from the New York performance have gone viral, with social media users celebrating his accomplishment. One user on X wrote, expressing awe that Khan, a stand-up comedian, could draw such a large audience and be the first Indian comic to perform at MSG. Another fan shared their disbelief, stating they witnessed history on August 17th at Khan’s sold-out show, which was the first-ever Hindi stand-up at the venue. Khan himself reflected on the achievement, saying that MSG was never part of his plan, seeming like a place for big stars. He added that the show is a reminder that staying true to one’s journey can lead to the loudest stages. Khan views the opportunity to represent India on such a global platform as a dream come true. Zakir Khan, who is from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, moved to Delhi to pursue his stand-up career and has released several stand-up specials, including ‘Haq Se Single’, ‘Kaksha Gyarvi’, ‘Tathastu’, ‘Delulu Express’, and ‘Mannpasand’.
