Comedian Zakir Khan is set to debut his new show, Aapka Apna Zakir, premiering on August 10th. The show, which will occupy the time slot previously held by The Kapil Sharma Show, has released its promo, generating mixed reactions from fans who are curious to see if Zakir can match Kapil’s popularity.
In the promo, Zakir is seen hosting an array of celebrities, including Karan Johar, Shraddha Kapoor, and Rajkummar Rao, in the opening episodes. The show will also feature appearances by TV and OTT personalities such as Shweta Tiwari, Paresh Ganattra, Rithvik Dhanjani, and Gopal Dutt. With the show airing at the same time as Kapil’s former show, comparisons between the two are inevitable.
