Zayed Khan, who became a household name after his role in Shahrukh Khan’s 2004 hit film ‘Main Hoon Na’, may have stepped away from the limelight, but his bond with Shahrukh has remained intact over the years. Recently, Zayed opened up about his long-standing friendship with Shahrukh and his interesting meeting with Aryan Khan during an interview with Shubhojit Ghosh on YouTube.
Shahrukh Wanted Aryan to Grow Up Like Zayed
Zayed shared that during the filming of ‘Main Hoon Na,’ Shahrukh often mentioned how he admired Zayed’s personality and hoped that Aryan would grow up to be like him. When Zayed met Shahrukh at the trial show of ‘Pathan,’ the superstar asked him what he thought of Aryan now. This brought back memories of their time on the set when Shahrukh would express his hopes for Aryan to become someone with qualities like Zayed.
The Friendly Challenge: Zayed and Aryan’s Fun Moment
During the same encounter, Zayed met Aryan Khan after a long gap and was pleasantly surprised to see how strong and confident he had become. Aryan challenged Zayed to a friendly fist fight, saying, “Panja, Zayed?” to which Zayed enthusiastically agreed. What started as a light-hearted challenge became a moment of bonding between the two. As they were engaged in this fun match, Shahrukh Khan arrived and asked Zayed with pride, “How does it look?” to which Zayed responded, “It has everything inside it.”
Shahrukh’s Guidance on the Sets of ‘Main Hoon Na’
In a recent interview, Zayed also recalled his early days working with Shahrukh. He spoke highly of how supportive and helpful Shahrukh was on the sets of ‘Main Hoon Na.’ Zayed appreciated Shahrukh’s approach, sharing how he was always well-prepared and never forced his style of acting on others. “Shahrukh Khan was always fully prepared,” Zayed fondly remembered. He explained how Shahrukh would quietly observe and then provide guidance when needed, helping him perform better without making him feel pressured.
Zayed’s Comeback and Aryan’s New Venture
Zayed Khan, after a long break, is set to make a comeback to the entertainment world. His initial success after ‘Main Hoon Na’ couldn’t be sustained, but fans are looking forward to seeing him back on screen.
