Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub reveals how a simple handshake from Shah Rukh Khan turned his career around. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, acclaimed for his powerful supporting roles, has made a mark in Hindi cinema with memorable performances in Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Jannat 2 and Raees. Known for bringing authenticity to his characters, he has worked alongside Shah Rukh Khan in two films ,a collaboration he says had a profound impact on his life and career. In a recent conversation with Digital Commentary, Zeeshan opened up about the period when he was on the verge of quitting acting. Feeling typecast into similar roles, he had grown weary of the monotony. 'I was bored of playing the same kind of roles," he shared. 'Then I thought, if I have to sign off, I'll do it with a film alongside Shah Rukh Khan. At least if I retire, I'll have a film with SRK." The Moment SRK Changed Everything During the filming of Raees, where he played SRK's friend Sadiq Ibrahim, Ayyub found himself deeply affected by the superstar's presence. 'Kuch toh kiya tha uss aadmi ne, badal diya tha andar se," he recalled. 'Jab unhone mujhe dekha toh scan kar liya tha ki bhut pereshaan hai aur main tha. I was almost on the verge of quitting acting and leaving, thinking I can't do this anymore." (It felt as if he had worked some kind of magic — something in me shifted completely. The moment he looked at me, he seemed to instantly recognise the turmoil I was in — and he was right. I was on the brink of walking away from acting altogether, convinced I couldn't continue any longer). He described how a simple gesture turned things around. 'Unhone haath milaya, toh actually negativity nikal gayi thi. I was like abhi toh bahut kaam karna hai. Unhone rok liya and he made sure ki yahan par kaam kar aur sab badia hoga." (The moment he shook my hand, it was as if all the negativity drained away. I suddenly felt there was so much more left for me to accomplish. He held me back from leaving and reassured me, saying, 'Stay here, keep working, everything will turn out fine').

Aanand L Rai Pens Emotional Note As Tanu Weds Manu Returns Clocks 10 Years
Last Updated: The film starred Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan as the leads. It has been a whole decade since Aanand L Rai and Colour Yellow released one of Bollywood's most daring and beloved rom-com sequels, Tanu Weds Manu Returns. The film hit theatres in 2015 and quickly became a classic, celebrated for its hilariously chaotic and entertaining depiction of imperfect love. To mark the 10-year milestone, director Aanand L Rai shared a touching Instagram post filled with behind-the-scenes memories. He wrote, '10 saal kam nahi hote par phir bhi aise lag raha hai jaise kal ki hi baat thi. Bahut saara pyar. Love you and miss you guys. @kanganaranaut @actormaddy @deepakdobriyal1 @jimmysheirgill @mohdzeeshanayyub #HimanshuSharma #TanuWedsManuReTurns10 #10YearsOfTanuWedsManuReturns 💛 @cypplofficial." Check it out here: The film starred Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan as the leads. Kangana Ranaut's unforgettable performance as the fiery Tanu and the fierce yet grounded Datto, alongside R Madhavan's endearing and sometimes confused Manu, made this film a pop culture milestone. The crackling chemistry, messy drama, and memorable one-liners we still quote with pride made it a standout. The film also won three National Awards, including Best Dialogue for Himanshu Sharma and Best Actress for Kangana's outstanding performance. Written by Himanshu Sharma and backed by Colour Yellow, Tanu Weds Manu Returns was notable for its sharp writing, richly developed characters, and refreshingly realistic take on love. The ensemble cast, featuring Jimmy Shergill, Deepak Dobriyal, Swara Bhasker, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, added to its charm, making it more than just an entertaining story—it became an emotion. Ten years later, we still root for Tanu and Manu, and for the filmmaker who brought their story to life. Rai is already onto his next projects, with Tere Ishk Mein arriving in November 2025 and Tu Yaa Main coming on Valentine's Day next year. First Published:
