In a historic first, stand-up comedian Zakir Khan etched his name into the global entertainment map by becoming the first Indian to headline a Hindi-language comedy show at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York.

The 37-year-old comedian from Indore, known for his relatable “sakht launda” persona and heartfelt storytelling, drew a sold-out crowd of 6,000 fans, proving the universal appeal of Indian humour.

Sharing his emotional journey on Instagram, Zakir described it as a “big day,” expressing how overwhelming it was to make thousands laugh in Hindi at such a legendary venue. He extended heartfelt gratitude to his friends, team, and fans for making the milestone possible.

The show was part of Zakir’s North America tour, where he was joined by fellow comedian Tanmay Bhat. The performance blended observational humour, emotional depth, and his signature poetic shayari. Ahead of the big night, Zakir’s poster lit up Times Square billboards, and he made appearances on US media outlets, discussing the importance of performing in Hindi on such a prestigious stage.

Adding to the celebratory mood, Zakir even joined celebrity chef Vikas Khanna for a fun cooking session, bringing together two cultural icons of India in New York.

With this achievement, Zakir Khan has not only elevated Indian stand-up comedy but also demonstrated the power of Hindi as a global performance language. His Madison Square Garden triumph stands as a proud chapter in the journey of Indian entertainment going international.

After months of silence following some turbulent social media moments, Justin Bieber is back — not with drama, but with heart. His surprise album Swag landed like a whisper in Times Square, yet roared through charts globally. And now, “Yukon,” the album’s second-highest-ranking track, has a music video that is melting the internet.

Directed by Cole Bennett and shot entirely in black and white, the music video for Yukon is less about aesthetic gimmicks and more about authentic vibes. Bieber appears alongside his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their 11-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, on a yacht that happens to be shaped like the logo of his newly launched lifestyle brand, Skylark.

From playing with baby Jack, to lounging with Hailey in ocean breeze, to impromptu dancing — Justin looks at peace. This is a different Bieber. A family man. A father. A husband. A pop icon who’s no longer chasing the limelight, but simply living in it.

Fans have reacted with overwhelming positivity. Comment sections across platforms are flooded with love:
🗣️ “Yukon MV is literally everything”
🗣️ “The most loved baby in this world ✨🤍 Jack Blues”
🗣️ “Nothing like a beautiful family and the ocean 🤍”

The success of “Yukon” and its music video is not just a chart story—it’s a culture shift. Bieber is no longer trying to prove himself as the prince of pop. He is him. And now, he’s inviting us into a chapter that feels softer, slower, and incredibly real.

The family era of Justin Bieber has officially begun — and it’s a vibe.
