LAHORE , May 22, 2023: The multiverse is spinning on its axis, making the most unlikely yet welcome crossovers come to pass. Pakistani social media sensation Adnan Zafar, widely known as Ken Doll, had an entertaining and lively conversation with Bollywood personality Rakhi Sawant.
The video clip from PAADcast – created by Ali Sufian Wasif – showcases the two stars discussing the challenges they face due to their immense fame.
The video begins with Zafar expressing the difficulties of being famous, exclaiming, “You know, life is incredibly tough for us. Every morning I wake up and think [that] oh my God, I’m still famous!” Sawant, a controversial figure in Bollywood, seems to relate to Zafar’s sentiments and agrees that people often fail to understand their struggles. She states, “People don’t understand our struggles.”
In a light-hearted tone, Zafar adds humorously, “Actually, I feel bad for those who are yet to discover us. Just imagine living your life without knowing Ken and Rakhi. Such a boring life” The conversation then delves into the “challenges” of managing the constant stream of notifications on their social media accounts, responding to messages from devoted fans and sponsors, and the complexities of managing multiple bank accounts.
During the conversation, Zafar and Sawant also shared their newfound environmental consciousness. When asked by Wasif about environmental responsibilities, Sawant expressed her concerns about global warming and her decision to avoid using paper by cancelling cash transactions and opting for bank transfers instead.
Sawant states, “I am so worried about global warming and I am so worried for the environment. I decided to cancel to take cash because of tree wastage due to paper needs. Only bank transfer.” To this, Zafar embraces Sawant dramatically and says, “Oh my God Rakhi, you are such a queen.”
In addition to this, Wasif also shared a clip of him and Sawant in conversation. “A very deep and intellectual #PAADcast with Rakhi Sawant where she raises her genuine concerns about the hypocrisy of society and its problems, I’m glad she came forward to raise her voice for the betterment of our future,” penned the host in the caption of the clip on his Instagram feed.
With Interstellar music adding dramatic flair to the conversation in the background, Sawant says in the video, “In our society, there are so many problems but no one says anything.” Wasif responds with a straight face, saying, “I’m glad you’re here to raise your voice.”
The discussion goes from the futility of celebrating birthdays to the inherent selfishness of humans. “Humans are so selfish now,” states Sawant. “They take in air to breathe, but what do they give?” Wasif solemnly says, “No one teaches us this in school. I’m glad you’ve taken this step.” The duo also get political. “Politicians fight elections,” says Sawant philosophically. “They begin with fights. Where is peace?” Wasif dons a layer of sincerity to say, “We need more people like you.”
The conversation between Zafar, Wasif and Sawant is as engaging as one would hope it to be. As both stars continue to entertain and engage their dedicated fan bases, their podcast episode serves as a lighthearted exploration of the ups and downs of their respective journeys.
