Farzi Mushaira

Original title: फर्जी मुशायरा

Hosted by Zakir Khan, this comedy series brings him together with friends and five “farzi” shayars in each episode. The performers turn romantic and personal experiences into shayaris, covering subjects such as a crush on a best friend’s sister, unusual habits of a girlfriend’s father, accusations of gold digging, and self-rejection. Their verses are accompanied by banter among the lineup, which does not heal their heartache but instead rubs salt into it.
