During the shooting of films, some accidents happen that people remember for a lifetime. Today we are going to tell you about a famous Bollywood actor whose face was burned in an accident. During this accident, many people lost their lives, and the actor's skin started dripping. This accident happened 36 years ago, and it happened on the set of the TV series 'Tipu Sultan'. A Bollywood actor was directing this show, a huge fire broke out on its set, 54 crew members and including the director himself, were burnt in the fire. This actor's face was almost burned
The fire on the set was so severe that this actor had to undergo 74 surgeries after the tragic incident. The actor whom we are talking about is none other than Sanjay Khan. Remembering this terrible accident, Sanjay Khan's son and actor Zayed Khan spoke openly about it in a recent interview.
Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Zayed Khan said that when this incident happened, we had to face a lot of difficulties at home. I saw my mother and sister in such a condition, which was very painful. I was just thinking about how I can help them. Then I said should I go to boarding school? Because at that time, they would take care of so many people at once.
Zayed Khan also said in that condition, he saw Sanjay Khan for the first time in the hospital. The actor said – I was 11 years old at that time. So after a month, they took me to the hospital. I was restless to see him. At that time, there were two beds in the ICU for the people who had been burned in this terrible fire. I passed by the first bed towards the front. I thought he would be in the second bed. But his voice came from behind. I looked back and said that he cannot be my father.
When I went near him, he was burned to a great extent. It seemed as if his skin was melting and dripping on the bedsheet. His skin was splattered on the bedsheet. To date, he is not able to see his face in the mirror. He held my hand and said – Zayed, are you scared? At that time, I had nothing to say.
The doctors were saying that he would not survive. I was wondering how this could happen. Two years later, he underwent 74 surgeries and completed Tipu Sultan. After that, he took me to Bangalore, where he had bought a piece of land.

Zayed Khan on being there for sister Sussanne during divorce with Hrithik Roshan, her relationship with Arsalan: ‘He is younger than me, but…'
Once a familiar face in early 2000s Bollywood, Zayed Khan stepped away from the spotlight without much explanation. Now, in a candid and emotional conversation with YouTuber Siddharth Kannan, the actor has finally opened up about his career hiatus, personal struggles, and the strong family bonds that have grounded him throughout. Zayed spoke with honesty about the emotional and financial challenges his family faced, as well as the close relationship he shares with his sisters, Sussanne Khan, ex-wife of actor Hrithik Roshan, and Farah Khan Ali, former wife of DJ Aqeel. When asked if he supported his siblings through their respective separations, Zayed responded: 'It's pretty evident. I've always been there for them. But we are an extremely conservative family with an extremely modern viewpoint of how things can be. Everything does not have to be black and white, number one. What is the most important thing? You want to see the person happy. Why be in anything if you're going to be unhappy about it? What's it going to take for everybody to be happy? You want to give it a shot? Give it a shot. Doesn't work out? Okay. Is this where you want to go? We are with you. My parents have always been the kind, they just look in your eyes and say, 'This is what you want? You know the realities, this is what you want?' If you have it in your eyes, sincerely, 'Yes, this is what I want'. Done. We are with you. Your happiness is most important.' On whether they consult each other while making major decisions, Zayed emphasized the deep emotional intuition shared within the family: 'See, we are a pack, we're like a clan. I don't even have to know something is wrong with my sister to call her up and say, 'What happened? Something is not right.' I just know. I have that kind of connection with my sisters. You know what? That's what a modern family is all about, man, right now. Look at where you're living. You're not living in Dalhousie, for heaven's sake. You're living in Mumbai. Look at the people that you're interacting with, the kind of jobs that you're doing—this and that. I mean, there are so many variables at play right now. So many variables. So when there's something emotional, which is the highest point, yes, there are sounding boards. We all are each others sounding boards. We love to say what other people can't. Simple as that. Your best friend also won't be able to say it. Your brother, your sister will say it. Your father, your mother will say it. And it's the ugly truth. And hear it. Okay, man, now you know. Now you're making a known decision. You're making an informed decision.' Also Read | Zayed Khan says he felt his flop Blue was 'Fast & Furious ka baap' while reading script: 'We spent Rs 100 cr on it, Kylie Minogue sang' That honesty, he says, can sometimes be difficult to hear. Recalling a tough moment, he shared: 'They said to me that I haven't even given 20% to my career,' he admitted, adding how he responded, 'That y'all have too many opinions. I mean, I have to say, when we're at the dining table, everybody has a very strong personality. So, you know, to get across, 'I'm right, I'm the best, I know it all', it's a tough battle between everybody.' Zayed also spoke about how both Sussanne and Farah have maintained amicable relationships with their ex-partners, Hrithik Roshan and DJ Aqeel, respectively. According to him, it all comes down to shared values and emotional maturity: 'If you take everything else out of the equation, what's the most important thing that you have with your partner? Trust. Understanding. And compatibility, in some sort of way. If you haven't taken that and put it on a higher pedestal than everything else, then there's something just blatantly wrong. I mean, did you get married for fame? Did you get married for money? If you got married for all of these things, then you're bound to have massive, massive problems, especially at the time of a divorce. But if you met your soulmate, right? You married your soulmate. Okay. And things went on. Water went under the bridge. Your soulmate is still there.' He continued: 'I don't know about everybody else. But for us, we are highly evolved in understanding such situations. And quite honestly, I don't care what anybody else thinks. We are. We are happy that everybody is happy. We were a good family. We have children to look forward to. We've got so many better things to look forward to than all this' When asked about Sussanne's current partner, Arsalan, Zayed had only positive things to say: 'He's a cool kid, man. I think he's a sweetheart guy. He's full of life and energy. He's always smiling and happy, and he wants to do fun things. Yeah, man. He's good. Of course, he's younger to me, but he's good.' Zayed has previously revealed that his next film, TFTNW (The Film That Never Was) will be coming soon on Jio Cinema and has special cameos from various stars.

Zayed Khan says he felt his flop Blue was ‘Fast & Furious ka baap' while reading script: ‘We spent Rs 100 cr on it, Kylie Minogue sang'
Unlike his cousin Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan is still waiting for a comeback on screen. Both the actors were part of some memorable films back in the 2000s before their careers began deteriorating. Fardeen has made a comeback now with Heeramandi and Khel Khel Mein last year, and the hit Housefull 5 this year. But Zayed's last stint was the TV show Haasil in 2018. Zayed feels he did films which were way ahead of their time, which explains why they didn't work at the box office back then. He specifically named Leena Yadav's 2005 psychological drama Shabd, his home production and Sahil Sangha's 2011 romantic comedy Love Breakups Zindagi, and Anthony D'Souza's 2009 action adventure dud Blue as films ahead of their time. 'If you'd read the script of Blue, you'd have felt ye Fast & Furious ka baap hai (this is superior to Fast & Furious). It was fantastically done, and I felt Blue is really going to break all barriers. With that cast — Akshay, Sanju, Lara, and Katrina — I felt it's going to go in the direction of a franchise,' said Zayed on Siddharth Kanan's podcast. Produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision, Blue starred Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, and Zayed, with Katrina Kaif in a cameo. With large portions shot underwater, the film bombed at the box office. 'The failure surprised me because I don't think we caught the script like how it was written. I had told Anthony. You can shoot amazing things and feel like a badshah (king), but when you don't stitch the narrative correctly with thehrao (poise)… the action scenes can be done well without even a fist being raised, it can all be in the screenplay. There was a difference between cup and lip, of how that should've translated on screen,' argued Zayed. Blue was indeed intended to be a franchise as D'Souza had even revealed his plans to make a sequel titled Aasman in 2012. However, Zayed hinted that there were creative differences between the cast, particularly Kumar, and the makers on the sets of Blue. He said, 'I wouldn't want to say because there were some creative differences between people on set, but doesn't that happen all the time?' Zayed also revealed that the makers left no stones unturned while making the film. 'We'd spent Rs 100 crore then, it was unheard of. And I have to say they did a fantastic job at the production, with the best of action directors from Hollywood and Kylie Minogue coming in,' recalled Zayed. The popular Australian singer crooned the dance song 'Chiggy Wiggy' alongside Sonu Nigam in Blue, and also featured in the song alongside Kumar. Also Read — Sanjay Khan's house was mortgaged, cars sold after Tipu Sultan fire accident, recalls son Zayed Khan: 'His skin was melting on the hospital sheet, couldn't recognise' Zayed's parallel between Blue and Vin Diesel's long-running blockbuster action thriller franchise Fast & Furious may remind one of the time when Varun Dhawan compared his film, Rohit Shetty's 2015 romantic saga Dilwale, to Christopher Nolan's 2010 cult sci-fi thriller Inception. Later, he clarified he was joking about the same.
