The comedian had recently revealed that he plans to step back from work and social media for a while to prioritise his health. Speaking about his decision, Zakir clarified that he is not quitting comedy entirely but taking time to slow down.
“Main hatna bilkul nahi chahta, main break lena chahta hu… thoda student ki tarah jeevan bitana hai, sehat par dhyan dena hai,” he said. Zakir added that the break will likely last “1.5–2 saal ka hi break hai”, as he plans to travel across India while focusing on improving his health and lifestyle.
While the exact reason for his hospitalisation has not been disclosed, fans continue to send prayers and good wishes, hoping the beloved comedian returns healthy and energetic soon.
