Shahrukh Khan asked Zayed Khan this strange question before casting him in ‘Main Hoon Na’, immediately signed after hearing the answer
Zayed Khan was asked twice “Who are you?” She was later offered a role in Main Hoon Na, by choreographer Farah Khan.
Bollywood actor Zayed Khan made his Bollywood debut in the year 2003 with the film ‘Chura Liya Hai Tumne’. However, he got stardom from his second film ‘Main Hoon Na’. In the film that released in 2004, he played the role of Laxman Prasad Sharma aka Lucky and his chemistry with his co-star and on-screen brother Shah Rukh Khan was loved by the audience.
The actor recently revealed how he became a part of the film Main Hoon Na. When Zayed, who is related to Sanjay Khan, Fardeen Khan and Hrithik Roshan, met choreographer and director of Main Hoon Na Farah Khan, she asked, “Who are you?” Not just once, but twice.
Speaking at an event, Zayed had said, “I was a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan before I came to Main Hoon Na. So actually I was calling Farah to ask if she could choreograph a song in my film. I called him and he said, ‘Who are you?’ I said that I am Zayed Khan, son of Fardeen Khan’s brother Sanjay Khan. He asked me to call after a week. When I called a week later, he again asked, ‘Who are you?’ I explained once again.
He continued, “He then said, ‘Okay, meet me in this office.’ I didn’t know whose office is this and I enter Shahrukh Khan’s office, and I am thinking why am I in Shahrukh Khan’s office? And I meet Farah, and I go to her main office area, and she’s sitting there and she’s saying, ‘We’re considering you for a role in our film Main Hoon Na.’
Zayed told that after a good conversation, Shah Rukh asked him a question and after listening to his answer, he signed him for the film. He said, “So he looks at me, he has a very nice, pleasant conversation, and then he sits down and he asks ‘Can you act?'” I said, ‘I was born to act. happened.” “’So I guess they were very surprised by my answer, and that’s all. He signed me for Main Hoon Na.”
Zayed expressed his admiration for Shahrukh, calling him one of the most wonderful men he has ever met. He recalled a conversation he had with him, “I remember the time when he was the brand ambassador for a television product, and I was just wondering why Sony and others chose this product. I told him, ‘For your stature, this brand has no value.’ He told me that Zayed, ‘She had gifted this television to me before my mother passed away, so I am its brand ambassador.’
The actor, who was away from films since 2015, recently announced about his comeback in the film industry. He wrote on his Instagram handle, “Hello friends! With your love and support, I have completed ’20 years’ in the industry. So, once again I’m excited to tell you guys that my new movie is on the way and I can’t wait to share it with you guys. Now, the next 20 years are going to be disastrous.”
