Zayed Khan’s Blue stunts scared his parents

Actor Zayed Khan says that when his parents Sanjay and Zarine Khan watched his heart-in-the-mouth motorcycle stunts in recently released Blue, they threw a fit.

“When I saw their reaction, I had to do some quick thinking or else my parents would freak out and probably order me to give up movies. My helmet, which covered my face through most of the mo’bike racing scenes, saved me. I told them it was a body-double doing those stunts,” Zayed told IANS. Continue reading

Zayed Khan won Rs 6- 8 lakh on Diwali night

A source says, “Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt were accompanied by their respective wives, Twinkle and Manyata. Lara Dutta was missing while Zayed Khan came sans wife Mallika. Anthony D’Souza came with actress Sonal Chauhan who is his close friend and will star in his next film starring John Abraham and Akshay.”

“Zayed won approximately Rs 6- 8 lakh. Akshay too won a huge amount of money but it was nothing close to Zayed’s amount. Akshay and Anthony were talking about the sequel to Blue and were overheard naming it True Blue,” adds the source.

Confirming the news, director Anthony says, “I don’t play cards but I dropped in at the party for a few minutes to wish everyone.”

When we quizzed Zayed about winning the whopping amount he laughed and said, “Well, we all did have a great Diwali, playing cards. It was Akshay once again who took away the treasure like he did in Blue. I just won some portion of it.”

Did he share the winning amount with his wife? He said, “It is all hers. I don’t ever keep it with me. I just carry 300 bucks in my wallet and I am happy with that.”

Zayed’s expensive gift to himself!

ZAYED KHAN

Zayed Khan had a massive crush on someone special while working in Blue. Well, don’t let your imagination run wild. The object of Zayed’s affection was Ducati, popularly known as the Ferrari on two wheels. So impressed was Zayed with the bike’s sophisticated machinery and neat body that he decided to keep it for himself.

“For Zayed, bikes are his passion; but he had not encountered a ride so smooth. It was the Ducati that gave him that pleasure,” said a source from the sets. Zayed coughed up a hefty sum and kept the Ducati bike for himself after the shoot.

Zayed plays himself in Blue

Zayed plays himself in Blue

When Zayed Khan was approached by director Anthony D’Souza for Blue, he was in for a surprise.

In response to his first question that what his character would be like, Anthony asked him to just be himself. “He said you have to be yourself,” says Zayed.

“And when I asked what he meant by that, he said ‘be your usual brash, cocky and arrogant self’. I was like wow I have got quite an image!” Zayed says he liked the script and took up the project. “I guess the main attraction for me was all the stunts and I just love water. He (Anthony) must have thought why get someone else who would need training,” Zayed adds.

Zayed Khan Upset With ‘Blue’ Director

Zayed Khan Upset With ‘Blue’ Director

Actor Zayed Khan is annoyed with the director of his forthcoming film, ‘Blue’. The actor was earlier informed that he will be having a solo song in the film ‘Blue’ but later he learned that song has turned into a group song. The film is directed by Tony D’Souza.

The song features Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif along with Zayed Khan.

Zayed Khan said, “I’m learning my lessons the hard way. In this industry it’s always the big fish eating up the little fish (an apt description considering our film ‘Blue’ is an underwater sea adventure). Fine. Hopefully, one day I’ll get there.”

Zayad khan Gifts Kylie a Sari

Zayed Khan and Kylie Minogue have made it a point to keep in touch even after completing the shooting of Blue. But we before you come to any conclusion we need to clarify that it’s strictly friendship here.

“Zayed and Kylie got a long like a house on fire. The two shared an excellent rapport and those who have seen the rushes of the film say that their chemistry is pretty visible on the screen too.” Zayed gifted Kylie a designer sari on the last day of the shoot.

The gift took Kylie by surprise more so because it was a sari. She wondered how did Zayed know the size that’d befit her. Kylie later even asked Zayed about it. Zayed told her, “It was just that I kept my wife’s size in mind. Kylie was touched by Zayed’s gesture,”

Who stole Zayed’s song?

Who stole Zayed’s song?

It was a promise made to the promising young actor from the start. But then nothing in Bollywood sells like success. Zayed Khan was supposed to sing and dance to a solo number in Tony D’Souza’s Blue. He waited patiently. It was meant to be the last number to be shot, post-dubbing because of the delay in recording the song.

But now that the number Fiqrana has found a replacement singer in Vijay Prakash instead of Farhan Akhar, Zayed shooting in Delhi for Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene is shocked to be informed that it’s no longer his song. That in fact the number to be filmed from September 15 till September 19 at the Mukesh Mills will now be filmed on the entire cast Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif and of course Zayed.

Hurt and incensed, Zayed is no longer interested in participating in what was meant to be his song.

So much so, that on one occasion Zayed who was reportedly in high spirits handed over his wallet to the hotel staff; and asked the surprised waiter to take out a wad of notes from his own wallet to settle the bill.

Not only that, the actor is said to have tipped the waiter very handsomely too. And to think, one actually believed this party animal had lost his spots!
