Shakil Siddiqui a top-notch comedian of Pakistan. He has been entertaining his countrymen for at least four decades. It is praiseworthy that his talent has been recognised in India as well as he has featured in quite a few television programmes there.

Talking to a journalist last week, Shakil S said artists love countries which give them respect. He feels that India always showers Pakistani artists with respect. Well, it’s true to some extent. Shakil sahib, there’s one Pakistani artist by the name of Ghulam Ali. Ever heard of him?
