Stand-up comedian Zakir Khan announces hiatus from live performances, affirming his involvement in the Papa Yaar India tour.

Zakir Khan, the 38-year-old stand-up comedian, has announced a break from his touring schedule due to health concerns. In a heartfelt Instagram post titled "Health Update," Khan expressed that touring this much is not good for his health.

Over the past ten years, Khan has been touring extensively, performing 2-3 times a day when he could. However, his relentless schedule has taken a toll on his health. He has been experiencing health issues for a year and has continued to tour despite them.

Despite these challenges, Khan has decided to prioritize his health over a packed tour schedule. His upcoming India tour for the event series "Papa Yaar" will not include additional shows beyond those announced. The tour, scheduled from October 24, 2025, to January 11, 2026, will consist of a limited number of shows only.

The tour will be held in various cities including Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Bhopal, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Mangalore. Khan has also announced that he will continue to perform during his India tour, despite his health concerns.

It's worth noting that Khan has been advised to take a long break after completing a special record. However, the comedian considers his work to be important and has not stopped working entirely. He has been hosting a limited number of shows in India during his break.

The tour dates and cities for Papa Yaar have been announced. Fans eager to catch Khan's performance should mark their calendars. Despite the limited number of shows, the anticipation for Papa Yaar is high, as it will be Zakir Khan's upcoming tour in India.

Khan's health issues are due to lack of sleep, early morning flights, and improper meal times caused by his touring schedule. It's a reminder for all artists to take care of their health, even in the face of demanding schedules.

As Khan embarks on this limited India tour, fans can expect the same humour and energy that has made him a household name. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery and a successful tour for Zakir Khan.
