He’s always been the baby of the film industry and his family. But now Zayed Khan promises a new, power-packed version of himself at least on screen.

“I don’t think I was spoilt. I was sent to boarding school when I was 11. That changed my whole perspective to life,” Zayed, who is the son of Sanjay Khan and nephew of Feroze Khan, said in an interview.

“I’ve always been confident about myself. My goals are very focused and real. I’ve really avoided all negativity. I just wanted to be one of the best, and that’s what I’m working towards.” Continue reading ‘I don’t think I was spoilt: Zayed Khan’

Zayed Khan in conversation with Subhash K Jha…

What brings on this new power-packed Zayed Khan?
You know, whenever people have told me I can’t do it I’ve been even more determined to do it. As a child if my parents said don’t go out, I did. Even at school winning in sports wasn’t a possibility. It was the only thing to do.

My family has a lot to do with my growth as a professional. They’ve provided me with unconditional moral and emotional support. I exist in a never-say-die surrounding. My mom always says, one has to keep creating opportunities regardless of what people say.

I ignored cynics and just kept working. I feel I’ve come a full circle since my debut in Chura Liya Hai Tumne. Continue reading ‘Marriage was my social obligation: Zayed Khan’

In a free-wheeling chat with TWF correspondent Vickey Lalwani, Zayed Khan talks about his new film ‘Rocky - The Rebel’ and says he has contributed to its script as well.

Q: Tell us about your new release ‘Rocky- The Rebel’?
A: The film is very close to my heart and may I add that it is in no way related to the Sanjay Dutt movie by the same name. ‘Rocky- The Rebel’ is a tale of a youngster (Zayed) going through turbulent times and the questions he asks society about truth, morality and justice. He wants things around him to improve.

And when that doesn’t seem to happen inspite of all his earnest ways, he only had one option that remained. Turn into a rebel with a cause. As a result, the relationship between Rocky and his father deteriorates. Please don’t ask me more. It will give everything away.

Q: There’s one very dangerous scene you’ve done in ‘Rocky- The Rebel’?
A: The scene in question is the opening shot of the film, precisely a song, wherein Zayed stands on the parapet of the top floor of a 40-storey building under construction. Producer Shyam Bajaj could easily have employed a double but I insisted that I wanted to do the shot himself. The shot was filmed in Hiranandani Complex, Powai.

I exist in never-say-die surroundings. My mom always says, one has to keep creating opportunities regardless of what people say. I ignored cynics and just kept working. People said I shouldn’t do solo-hero films. But here I am ready with another solo-hero film Rocky. I feel I’ve come a full circle since my debut in Chura Liya Hai Tumne.

How did you overlook the cynicism about your prospects?

I’ve always been confident about myself. My goals are very focused and real. I’ve really avoided all negativity. I just wanted to be one of the best, and that’s what I’m working towards. No one comes to the industry to be the second-best.There’s no pressure from my family. I’ve been working with the best talents in the business like Shah Rukh Khan, Farah Khan, Anubhav Sinha, Sanjay Dutt.I don’t know whether I deserve their support. But I was a very obedient person. And followed the whole senior-junior thing which is very important in the industry.I’m still defiant, but not so aggressively as in the past.

You must have been the spoilt son in a family filled with daughters.

Zayed Khan is not just an actor; very few people know that he has a superfluous talent of writing as well. His brief break from films has motivated his writing talent. Surprisingly, he had never acknowledged his writing talent before. He admits, “I started writing when I was down with slip-disk and Rocky came to me at the same time.�?

When asked about his insecurity of being off from the race for some time he says, “In my whole life I have never been afraid of being afraid. In fact that puts you on your toes. Just like a soldier who prepares for war and if he is not scared then he will be a dead soldier, if he is scared then he is a living soldier and more useful. His fear is very important to keep him on his toes. That way I was never ever scared of loosing my career. In that way I am a pretty confident person.�?

Scripting is something that excites Zayed. In fact he even confessed that he had ghost-written some scenes in his film Rocky. He started writing when he was schooling in London. “I used to write and edit scripts when I was in London. I had scripted and edited over 250 scripts for my friends. I used to charge 3 pounds per script. So I have pretty good idea of writing and I would like to pursue it further.�? he adds.
