After attending Zakir’s show, Priyanka shared a selfie and praised him. “Thank you for your kindness, humor and creativity. So happy to know you. @zakirkhan_208," she wrote praising the comedian. 



Re-sharing the post, Zakir wrote,  “You are grace in motion! Thank you for your kindness and for being such a guiding light – for me and for so many others. Much regards.” The star stand-up comedian also shared a picture with Priyanka, where he mentioned the two met for lunch for his last show.

He wrote, “Last lunch of the tour with the queen herself.”

About Zakir Khan's break

Last month, the comedian announced that he would be taking a break from doing tours and focus on his health. "I have been touring since last 10 years. Though I am extremely blessed to receive your love and affection. Par iss tarah ki extensively touring is not very healthy. Trying to satisfy everyone you meet, 2-3 shows in day, sleepless nights, early morning flight and of course no timetable for meals. Net-net 1 saal se bimar hi hoon, par kaam karna hi pada, kyunki zaruri tha uss waqt. Jinko pata hai, unko pata hai," he shared. 

While performing has always been his passion, Khan admitted that prioritising his health had become unavoidable. "I absolutely love being on stage par ab thoda break lena padega shayad. Matlb mann toh mera hai nahi, waise dekha jaaye toh 1 saal se bhi taal hi raha tha. Par ab lag raha hai ki baat hath se nikal jaaye uske pehle Sambhal lena chahiye. Isliye, yeh bar ke India tour me limited cites hi rahegi. Zyada shows pe shows bhi add nahi kar paunga aur phir yeh special record kar ke thoda lamba break lene ki salah di gayi hai mujhe”, he added.

Priyanka Chopra's work front 

Talking about her film work, Priyanka was last seen in Heads Of State directed by Ilya Naishuller. It stars Idris Elba and John Cena as the UK Prime Minister and US President, respectively. She will next be seen sharing screen space with Mahesh Babu for the first time in her in the upcoming tentatively titled film SSMB29.
