Comedian Zakir Khan stole the spotlight at the Chetak Screen Awards 2026 with a sharp and witty roast aimed at Bollywood. His comments came at a time when Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its dominant run at the box office, breaking records and creating massive buzz.
During his segment, Zakir used humor to touch upon what he hinted was an underlying sentiment within the industry. He joked that despite public praise and congratulatory messages, many in Bollywood might actually be “jealous” of the film’s massive success.

His most talked-about line quickly went viral: “Bombs may have exploded in Lyari, but the smoke was felt all the way in Mumbai.” With this metaphor, he suggested that the impact of Dhurandhar has gone far beyond the box office, stirring reactions across the industry.

Zakir also took a dig at what he described as a culture of “fake appreciation,” implying that public admiration often masks real competition and insecurity. His act struck a balance between humor and truth, leaving the audience both laughing and reflecting.

The performance has since gained traction online, with many praising Zakir Khan for his boldness and honesty. It also highlighted how comedy can mirror reality—especially in an industry where success often brings both applause and silent rivalry.
