Zakir Khan scripts history with first-ever Hindi comedy show at Madison Square Garden; Hasan Minhaj says, ‘My parents love him more than me now'. Watch
Zakir Khan, widely regarded as one of the most celebrated stand-up comics in India, has scripted history by becoming the first comedian to perform a show in Hindi at New York City's famous indoor arena, Madison Square Garden. Renowned for his anecdotal and observational humour, Zakir rose to fame in 2012 after winning Comedy Central's 'India's Best Stand-Up' competition. He eventually went on to become one of the most acclaimed comics in the country, thanks to his 'sakth launda' persona, relatable sets and ability to weave into them poetry and a bit of philosophy. On Sunday, Zakir Khan performed to a sold-out audience of 6,000, which included Indian-origin American comedian and television host Hasan Minhaj. Taking to Instagram, Hasan gave a resounding shoutout to his 'bhai' for the massive achievement. Sharing a carousel post featuring photos from the event, he wrote, 'A historic night for comedy around the world! Last night I got to see my brother Zakir Bhai become the first comedian in history to headline Madison Square Garden entirely in Hindi. He combines storytelling and poetry in ways that elevate the genre of comedy to places I've never seen before. I also think my parents love him more than me (I'm okay with that).' Zakir Khan also took to his Instagram to share glimpses from the monumental night. Soon, his comment section was flooded with congratulatory messages, including from show business tycoons. While legendary actor Tabu congratulated him with several applause emojis, Vir Das — considered one of the pioneers of the modern Indian stand-up comedy scene — expressed his admiration for the comedian. Iranian-American comedian-actor Max Amini, actors Zareen Khan, Kritika Kamra and Ahsaas Channa, and comic Aaditya Kulshreshth aka Kullu also heaped praise on him. Actor Arjun Kapoor, too, penned a sweet note for Zakir. 'Fantastic Zakir bhai, Madison Square Garden sold out!!! Making all of us proud,' he wrote on his Instagram Stories. Comics Munawar Faruqui, Harsh Gujral, Rahul Dua and Devaiah Bopanna, as well as actor Gajraj Rao, fashion designer Manish Malhotra, entrepreneur-social media personality Nikhil Kamath and mentalist Suhani Shah also expressed their adoration for Zakir on social media.

Hailing from a family of musicians, he also holds a diploma in sitar. 'I started watching the videos of Russell Peters somewhere in 2009, and that was my introduction to stand-up. The next year, I was unemployed and in Delhi. One day, a potential employer came and offered a stand-up gig to my roommate. He didn't take me because I was too smart to take to a 'happening place'. So my roommate came back and told me that the comedy scene is growing and that I could totally kill it. I had the material and jokes… All from my life experiences,' he told the publication in 2019, recalling his foray into the world of comedy. Although his initial stint bombed, Zakir did not give up and kept honing his craft. He eventually started doing live shows more often and also wrote the comedy show, On Air with AIB. In 2018, he arrived with his own streaming series, Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare. Created and headlined by Zakir, the Amazon Prime Video show became an instant hit and has had three seasons so far. He also appeared as a judge on the stand-up comedy competition Comicstaan for two seasons.

Do you know the meaning of Skibidi, Delulu, and Tradwife? These new words are now part of Cambridge Dictionary; Here's what they mean
The Cambridge Dictionary has recently added more than 6,000 new words to its online edition. Among the most popular are 'skibidi,' 'delulu,' and 'tradwife.' Colin McIntosh, the dictionary's lexical program manager, explained that adding new words is not about following short-term trends. Instead, it reflects long-lasting changes in how people use language. He pointed out that internet culture is constantly shaping English, and it's exciting to see those shifts captured in the dictionary. Only words that seem likely to remain in use for years are chosen. What does Skibidi mean? The word 'skibidi' has become a viral trend with many different meanings. It can mean something 'cool,' something 'bad,' or sometimes it's just used playfully without any real meaning—for example, saying, 'Skibidi, what are you doing?' The term got a big boost from the Russian band Little Big, whose 2018 hit song 'Skibidi' went viral with more than 700 million views. Celebrities also picked up on the craze, and recently reality star Kim Kardashian even used the word 'skibidi' in one of her Instagram posts. What does Tradwife mean? The word 'tradwife' is short for 'traditional wife.' It describes women who promote a more traditional style of family life, especially on social media. These women often share posts about cooking, cleaning, and raising children. Many of them say they follow the roles that wives were expected to take on in the 1950s. A tradwife is basically a wife who embraces traditional roles, and often shows her home life online. Some people criticize the idea, saying it encourages outdated stereotypes, while others see it simply as a personal lifestyle choice. What does Delulu mean? Delulu is a funny, shortened form of the word 'delusional.' It usually means believing in something that isn't real, often knowingly. The term first became popular in K-pop fan culture, where fans would imagine having a personal connection or relationship with celebrities (a parasocial relationship). Over time, it spread more widely and is now often used in a humorous way on social media. After Cambridge Dictionary added words like skibidi, tradwife, and delulu, people on social media had mixed reactions. For example, one Instagram user joked that their kids keep saying 'skibidi' so much that they even named their toy after it. Another user commented, 'Gen Z drama,' while someone else teased, 'Why are you increasing kids' syllabus with all these new words?' Other New Words Added to Cambridge Dictionary Along with these, the dictionary added many more modern expressions — more than 6,000 in total. Some of them are: Broligarchy Lewk Inspo Snackable Mouse jiggler Work wife / work spouse Red flag / green flag Forever chemical RAAC
