Mumbai, June 26 (NationPress) Bollywood actor Zayed Khan, recognized for his roles in ‘Dus’, ‘Main Hoon Na’, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, and more, has shared the story behind his first film offer.
The actor revealed that he accompanied Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan on the set of one of his projects.
Reflecting on his journey, he said, “I began hitting the gym, took up dance, dialogue, and acting classes. I would even rehearse my lines while waiting at the petrol station.” His passion for the craft intensified, leading him to hone his skills in anticipation of the right opportunity. That moment arrived unexpectedly when Hrithik was filming with Vikram Bhatt and Ameesha Patel. Zayed, present on set just to observe, was approached with an offer for his debut film.
He recounted, “Someone came up to me and said, 'You’re a very good-looking guy. Will you do a film for me?' At that moment, I felt like a lean, mean machine, ready for the spotlight.” Although surprised, Zayed took a moment to consider the offer and consulted his father, veteran actor Sanjay Khan, who provided valuable advice.
“I went back and spoke to my father, asking if he would feel upset if I took the offer. He always encourages me, saying, 'When you create your own life, you own it better, Zayed,’” he noted.
Now, Zayed is preparing for his digital debut with ‘The Film That Never Was’ (TFTNW), and is rumored to be involved in several other projects.
