Standup comedian Zakir Khan calls not getting a job the most fortunate thing in his life. What he learned from his 2.5 years of struggle?

Zakir Khan recalled moving to Delhi against his family's wishes in 2008 and struggling to find a job for two and a half years. He called the rejection a blessing in disguise. After repaying debts, he spent his last Rs 500 on a comedy trial, eventually choosing comedy over a career in music.
