Standup Comedian Zakir Khan Brings Home A Range Rover Velar

Standup comedian and actor, Zakir Khan, has recently purchased a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Velar. Khan is well known for his popular standup specials - Haq Se Single (2017) and Kaksha Gyarvi (2018), which have been featured on Amazon Prime Video, and for being a judge on the reality show Comicstan. His younger brother, singer and songwriter, Zeeshan Khan, posted the photo on social media with a congratulatory message. He also took a dig at his brother for wearing slippers to take the delivery of his new luxury SUV.

The Range Rover Velar is currently offered in both petrol and diesel versions, and both are priced at Rs. 89.41 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It’s unclear as to which model Zakir Khan purchased, however, in either case, the on-road Mumbai price is over Rs. 1 crore. 

Both the petrol and diesel versions of the Range Rover Velar are powered by a 2.0-litre motor. The petrol unit makes 247 bhp and 365 Nm of peak torque, while the oil burner churns out 201 bhp and 430 Nm of peak torque. Both come mated to an automatic transmission as standard. 

On his work front, Zakir Khan recently released his new standup special Tathastu on Amazon Prime Video and will soon return with the third season of his poetic comedy act – Farzi Mushaira on YouTube.
