What Zakir Khan Said

During his hosting stint at the Chetak Screen Awards 2026, Zakir said, "Kitne hi congratulatory post aap daal dein, kitni hi stories daal dein, kitne hi interview mein aap bol dein my favourite film, magar sach toh yeh hai ki Dhurandhar se sabki jalti toh hai."

(No matter how many congratulatory posts you put up, no matter how many Stories you share, no matter how often you say in interviews that it's your favourite film - the truth is, everyone is jealous of Dhurandhar).

His witty remark drew laughter from the audience.

He added, "Bomb film mein phootein Lyari mein, par dhuan udaa hai Bandra se Juhu mein (Bombs may have gone off in Lyari, but the smoke is rising all the way from Bandra to Juhu)."
