The crowd is not boring they are just giving him respect by listening to his insecurities which he said in a humorous way

"Main bhi lakh rupay ka kaam krta hun, par main bs do din kaam krta hun"...superb !!

[@ashu.mishra1230]

When you get insulted,you rewind the situation and wanna win there with your new character is really genuine line!!

[@yuvichahal9365]

He criticized fair and lovely years backk!! Much respect ... No doubt why he's best

[@dr.jasmeetsingh1014]

Practical and pragmatic motivational message. It is different and unique

[@shreyaskhandalkar9040]

Never thought about this side of Zakir Khan. #Respect

[@rutvikshah2190]

+Shreyas Khandalkar you must see his other video.don't remember exactly but it's named "papa please preach". truly amazing!

There's so muchhhhh to this man......u have no idea 🤗😍

[@Doc2beer]

bc ajkal to comedians hi sabse deep baatein karte hain. Zakir Khan is a freakin genius!

[@varuno7560]

Tanbir Singh, ye zindagi ka philosophy hai Bhai. comedy in its a philosophy.

[@niteenkharmate4238]

tanbir singh.. zakir ne abhi abhi to bataya jab tragedy se gujro ge tab philosophy ayegi and then comedy ..

[@syedmuhammadhammadghani1035]

Bhai .. simple si baat hai ye , behind every comedian , there's a person trying to make you happy by his style by telling his sad story and sad experience.

[@fanboy5272]

Tanbir Singh well that's what is remained logical

Umeed with zakir khan... ❤ must watch

[@user-oz2xg5kl8h]

"अगर आप डूबने से डरते हो तो फिर नदी में मत जाओ या तैरना सीख लो" inspiring Zakir sir👍🏻🔥🙏🏻

[@bshivam2001]

This guy deserved a much better audience. His audience is almost reactionless on most of his jokes. His message was amazing as well. You NEED problems in your life to improve yourself. All of us have heard Failure is the stepping stone to success, but not many of us follow it. This video gave me a new angle to look at insults and their requirement. But most probably, insults do not work if they target a person's weight, because all the comments people have made about my weight so far in my whole life, never helped me lose weight.

Shivam Bhardwaj But you're stronger than most of them

[@sonudas-dq3et]

Shivam Bhardwaj I think people didn't understand the pun in your closing statement. It was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@MultiTalentDisorder]

Maybe because of the recording system set up They did set up like that so you can hear Zakir Khan clearly than the audience

[@hairyamol]

@@sonudas-dq3et that's not a pun, that's irony

[@rudramishra3751]

zakir sir .....".respect " is your true synonym

[@omgsvines]

*This guy is very Sensitive Inside* 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@CaptainLEVIasArkhamKnight]

A girl insulted me in 10 years ago in school regarding my looks. I was able to connect with the awesome video. Thank you for remaniding me about the power of struggle.

[@AbhijeetPrabhakar]

Zakir bhai brings out his emotional side and hits it out of the park every once in a while. Very inspiring!

[@chandanmanocha7009]

I'm 15 and i really needed this.

[@Kumaraditya3050]

Chandan Manocha really??

[@chandanmanocha7009]

Raj Rajan yeah, why??

[@yasse321]

Chandan Manocha specially at 15 everyone needs it. I didn't have anyone tell me this. Remember, taking it constructively and evolving yourself does not mean to give a better rebut to your insult. It means take to take your insult and reconstruct yourself to overcome the aftermath of the insult..Falling in argument and going into verbal abuse is destructive. At your age, just listen and don't react. Over the years you will accumulate wisdom and character to come with a right reply at the right time.

[@chandanmanocha7009]

Yasser Mohammed thanks. And don't worry about me. I'm not that kind of a guy.

[@Kumaraditya3050]

Coz u r just 15

[@sannidhyashetye7464]

Jokes were as usual spot on and perfect. Too bad audience was less energetic. But apart from the jokes he made some very good, strong points towards the end. Didn't know there was such depth to him.

[@eeshvermamusic]

Kamal kar Dia , I was feeling depressed few moments back and now I'm charged up again , thanks Zakir bhaiya

[@Md-on2vb]

[@badalkryadav2093]

One of the best tedx talk I have ever seen...😍❤️🔥..... goosebumps 🥺

[@aajjaayyuk]

good lines but boring audience.

[@aycaramba8175]

Ajay Singh Chauhan,👍 i think they have no sense of humor

[@2Search4share]

Ajay Singh Chauhan... I also felt audience must b boring.....zakir said many beautiful lines but no reaction

[@aajjaayyuk]

toh kya log maatam mnane gye hai vhan kisi ke marne ka??? hehehehe

[@rohitroy8022]

Dost audience pagl nhi thi wo zakir ki baat ki ghrai ko smjhne ki koshish kr rhi thi.wo unki baat pe gaur krne m mashroof the.bs itni baat h.

[@peilb.7670]

Reality is that the audience audio was recorded with Zakir's mic. So separate recorder was used, otherwise you would have heard them clapping and cheering.

[@hiteshdua3746]

Such an amazing personality and I always admire his simplicity..!! truly amazing!! godbless Zakirbhai!

If I was in that crowd I would clap loudly for this great performance. What the fuck is wrong with this crowd?

[@parind-e-hind7311]

I know right? that was really amazing

[@sanerdiptej]

+Utsav Atre Seriously man, that was the dumbest crowd I have ever seen.

[@shreyasrajapurkar3816]

+Utsav Atre Ikr. Such a great performance, the crowd sucks.

[@prayaassharma9369]

+Utsav Atre the max capacity for a tedx event is 100 people only..thats why the voice of people laughing is not as loud as one can actually expect!

[@aamirhafeezkhan1771]

Prayaas Sharma Who told you max audience for a TedX event is 100? Although I agree that in a TedX event in India audiences try to be excessivelysober.

[@diesel2x]

very underrated talk. you can learn a lot from this one..

[@twinkled15]

[@brijeshmangukiya344]
