YouTube is where all the talent, the ones to come to notice in the last few years, had initially flocked to. This fresh pool of talent had people who weren’t afraid to say what they wanted to. The kind of people who used humour effectively to comment on what was wrong with our society. It was from that lot that we also found Zakir Khan.
