He continued by saying that he was also Miss Commonwealth’s assistant pageant manager.
AY recalls “pray[ing]” to become as well-known as seasoned comic Alibaba while serving as his Personal Assistant (PA).
“I was the personal assistant to Alibaba, the king of humour, and we used to travel all over the place. People wanted to take pictures with Alibaba at the airport. I was there, seizing his phones with my tiny bag. I prayed for it even though I didn’t see it coming. Back then, it was merely a place of prayer supported by laborious work,” he recounted.
