Zakir Khan spent 35 minutes with the members of the band, BTS
Recently, Zakir Khan gave an interview to The Lallantop, where he shared a funny incident from the day, when he met the members of the Korean band, BTS. Zakir revealed that he once went to Korea to meet and interview some big celebrity. When he reached the event, the popular band, BTS, was also there to meet the same person. What shocked the viewers the most is that Zakir mentioned that he could not recognise the band members. He said:
“I happened to go to Korea once, and there is a very famous band there by the name of BTS. I knew there is a band called BTS and I also know that they are famous. And by chance I went there for an event to interview a very big celebrity and the band was also there to meet the same person.”
Zakir continued by saying that he was a little late for the event, because of which he was in the last batch with the band members. Zakir added that he was in the same room as the band members for 45 minutes, but couldn’t recognise them. He had assumed them to be a part of the organising team. In his words:
“Because I was late, I was in the last batch with those members of the band. So I asked one of the members, ‘Who are you and where are you from’, and he told me they are from BTS. I thought that the Korean organising team has called for a behind-the-scenes team. I was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people. Later, when I told people that for 45 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted.”
