Zayed Khan dismisses rumoured relationship with Esha Deol: ‘I was always with my wife, Malaika Parekh’

Zayed Khan recently addressed long-standing rumours linking him romantically to his 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne' co-star Esha Deol. The duo is known for their on-screen performances together in films like 'Dus' and 'Cash'. He has now denied such rumours connecting him to Esha and shared that he was already committed to his now-wife, Malaika Parekh, during that period.


Zayed Khan about link up rumours with Esha Deol
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Zayed said, “We have done a lot of films together. I was always with my wife, Malaika, and Esha and Malaika have always been good friends. Esha is a sweetheart, and I don’t want to say anything because she got married and all. She has been a buddy for life,” he clarified.


Zayed Khan on working with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan



Zayed also revisited his experience of working on Shabd, starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He described that Shabd had a strong storyline but was released at a time when audiences weren’t ready for such themes. It explored a married woman’s affair with a younger man. He added that many of his film choices were ahead of their time.

He admitted that he had been a fan of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan since she became Miss World. “I used to have her picture in the locker room. When I heard the script of the film and learned that Aishwarya was in it, I quickly asked where to sign. I had a wonderful experience working with her,” he stated.

Zayed showered praise on Aishwarya for her professionalism and effortless charm. He recalled how she made him feel at ease despite his initial fanboy moment. He admired her natural beauty, comparing it to porcelain, and noted that unlike others who rely on filters, she possessed a flawless, natural radiance.

Zayed Khan’s last appearance in a feature film was in 'Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene' back in 2015.
