Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub On His Bond With Swara Bhaskar: ‘People Thought We Were Married'
Last Updated: Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub revealed that his friendship with Swara Bhaskar was so strong that people often assumed they were married. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Swara Bhaskar share a close friendship, often mistaken for a romantic relationship due to their strong bond. The duo first shared screen space in Raanjhanaa, playing childhood friends, and have since been close to each other. But their friendship extends beyond the screen, and it continues to draw attention. From engaging in poetry to lending their voices to social causes, Swara and Zeeshan have frequently been seen together. The actor sat for an interview with an entertainment portal recently and opened up about his enduring friendship with Swara Bhaskar, a bond so strong that it has often led people to assume they are a married couple. In a conversation with Filmygyan, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub revealed with a laugh, 'Itne logo ko ye lagta tha ki jaise we are married. Mere aur Swara ke rishte ke bare me apko batata hu. Itni confusion hai hamari logo ko lkar. Do log agar dikhte ki ye dost hai, do logo ko dekhkar bhai, itne logo ko ye lagta tha ki jaise we are married. Hmlog kai jagh pe dikhe. Matlab hmlogo ne kai cheezein ek dusre ki share kari, hmlog politically same sochte hai, to kayi baar hmlog kisi protest me dikh gaye, kabhi kisi aur cheez me dikh gaye. Toh, I think hmara na wo kabhi khatam nhi hua. (So many people felt as if we were married. I am telling you about the relationship between Swara and me. There is so much confusion about us. If two people see that they are friends, after seeing us, many people feel as if we are married. We were seen at many places. We shared many things with each other; we think politically alike, so many times we were seen in some protest, sometimes in some other thing. So I think that it never ended for us.") View this post on Instagram A post shared by F I L M Y G Y A N (@filmygyan) Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub reflects on his friendship with Swara Bhasker He went on to say, 'Ek point ke baad Swara se batchit thori kam ho gayi. Log bhi woh baat karte hai ki aisa kyu lagta logo ko, kyuki hamari dosti ekdm hi mar pitai wali hai. Jo Raanjhanaa me thi wahi wali. Exactly, waise hi hai, ki maar diya, koni maar di. Boht pyari dosti hai. (After a certain point, the conversation with Swara reduced a bit. People also talk about why people feel this way, because our friendship is definitely a fun friendship. The same kind that was there in Raanjhanaa. It is exactly like that, where they beat each other and hit elbows. It is a very lovely friendship.")

‘They are not realistic actors': Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub on big Bollywood stars, Criminal Justice Season 4 and more
Actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub opens up about big Bollywood stars, his role as Dr Raj Nagpal in Criminal Justice Season 4 and why he still dreams of portraying poet Sahir Ludhianvi. Actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, known for his grounded performances, speaks about navigating moral grey zones, parenting with compassion, and why he doesn't see his acting style reflected in Bollywood's biggest stars. Q: Did embodying Dr Raj Nagpal in Criminal Justice Season 4 reshape your own ideas about paternal sacrifice and moral grey zones?  A: Not exactly. I would just say that I understood the idea, and that is why I was able to be there and play the character. So, I think the process is generally the reverse for actors. It's not like while you are playing it, you understand that. You first need to understand it and then only you can play the character and perform it. So yeah, that would be the answer. Q: Name an improvised moment with Pankaj Tripathi (or any other actor from Criminal Justice Season 4) that slipped into the final cut and surprised even the crew. A: No, no. There wasn't because I did not have any dialogues as such. Not many dialogues, especially when I am with Pankaj bhai. But, I think the whole scene, I think that is how any scene happens. Like when he is sitting there and he is talking to me in jail when he comes to meet me. I think even that or maybe the small looks that we share while he is presenting his argument, and I am standing there and just looking there, here and there. I think that was all there. So, nothing like which surprised the audience. There was nothing like that. The crew, especially. I think everything was written there. So nothing like that. Q: You grew up in a multi-faith environment. Now, your child is growing up in a similar diversity. Which lesson from your childhood do you hope becomes her compass? A: I would say just be kind to everyone and do not differentiate between people in terms of caste, creed or religion or anything in that sense. Just be with people because they are humans, and be kind to them. I think that is what I grew up in, and I respect human beings and all the cultures. Q: You once joked you'd trade an arm to breathe life into Sahir Ludhianvi; which forgotten Ludhianvi verse would anchor that biopic's emotional spine? A: I think that would be… Actually, there are many. That is why I would love to play Sahir because I think he is one of the greatest poets. So, I think, but still what attracted me the most was: Ek shahenshah ne banwa ke Taj Mahal, Hum gareebon ki mohabbat ka udaya hai nazaak. That would be the best of Sahir. Q: Scrolling social media feeds can blur reality, especially for an actor. So, what simple offline habit grounds your perspective after heavy online chatter? A: I think it is reading. I still read books and I don't read from digital gadgets or anything. I like to touch the paper, read it and carry the book with me. I think that is something that brings you back to reality, and you see how the real world operates. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub on his love for books Q: You've worked with big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, R Madhavan, Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut, Diljit Dosanjh, Dhanush and many other big stars. Whose approach to acting is more similar to yours, and how? A: I don't think anyone's approach is similar to mine. They have their own style. Most of them are stylised actors. They are not realistic actors in that sense. So, I would say no one in this list. Criminal Justice Season 4, called A Family Matter, had its OTT release on May 29. The web series, also starring Pankaj Tripathi, Surveen Chawla and Asha Negi, is streaming on JioHotstar.
