Unlike the film Blue, in which Akshay Kumar gets the treasure, in real life Zayed Khan got lucky on Diwali night when he won about Rs 6- 8 lakh while playing cards at Sunny and Anu Dewan���s residence, where the Blue team had a small get-together. 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.���
