On Monday, singer Adnan Sami hosted a musical evening on the occasion of his wife Roya’s birthday. Actors Rohit Roy, Zayed Khan and singers Shaan and Javed Ali joined the celebration. A video from the musical night has surfaced online, which shows Zayed’s new look, and fans can’t help but compare him with Harry Potter’s Professor Snape.
The actor marked his 20th year in the film industry with a social media post and announced that he had a new film in the pipeline. Sharing a picture on Instagram, he wrote, “Hello, people! As then, once again I’m excited to tell you guys that my new movie is just around the corner and I can’t wait to share it with you!!!!
However, in 2023, Zayed revealed that he was preparing to return to Bollywood. With your love & support, it’s been 20 YEARS for me in the industry. Now, the next 20 years are gonna be kickass!!!!”
Zayed Khan became a familiar face in Bollywood in the early 2000s, making his acting debut with Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne in 2003. Released in 2004, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen and Amrita Rao alongside Zayed and went on to become one of the popular Hindi films of that period. His last theatrical release was Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene in 2015.
it was his next major role as Laxman Sharma, fondly known as Lucky, in Farah Khan’s Main Hoon Na that gave him wider recognition While the film marked his entry into the industry. Zayed’s portrayal of Lucky, a college student and Shah Rukh’s younger brother in the film, was particularly appreciated by audiences. His bond with Shah Rukh’s character, Ram, became one of the highlights of the film. The actor went on to feature in films such as Dus, Fight Club – Members Only, Yuvvraaj and Blue. However, despite being part of several projects, he did not achieve the same level of success that Main Hoon Na brought him. Following the film, Zayed largely stayed away from the Hindi film industry and did not appear in a major acting project for several years. His absence led fans to wonder whether he had permanently stepped away from acting.
Zayed Khan reminds fans of Professor Snape
In the video, Adnan and Javed Ali, along with Irrfan Pathan and others, were seen jamming to Maine Poocha Chaand Se. Zayed was seen vibing hard to the song. The actor rocked a black ensemble and was seen seemingly recreating his iconic Main Hoon Na vibe with long hair and tinted shades. However, his shoulder-length straight black hair and high-collared black outfit look had fans comparing him to Professor Snape from Harry Potter.
