Mir Afsar Ali

Mir Afsar Ali was born 13 February 1975 in Murshidabad district of West Bengal state in India. He is a popular Indian radio jockey, television anchor, singer and comedian. He born in a conservative Bengali Muslim family in Murshidabad, he would listen to the radio for hours during his childhood. His entry into show-business happened by chance. On a rainy evening in 1994 when Mir was in his first year student of Umesh Chandra College, he was on his way home from the laundry and happened to read a six-day-old newspaper in which the washer-man had wrapped his clothes. His eyes fell upon an advertisement which said that auditions were being held for radio jockeys for a radio station to be launched soon in Kolkata. He is the host of Mirakkel, a laughter show on Zee Bangla and Hi Kolkata on Radio Mirchi.
