Aishwarya Rai 'Knows How To Play With You', Says Zayed Khan: 'Had Her Picture In Locker Room'
Zayed Khan lauded Aishwarya Rai for her professionalism and also praised her 'porcelain' skin. Aishwarya Rai captured the hearts of millions across the globe when she became Miss World. Zayed Khan was no exception. The actor used to have Aishwarya's posters in his locker room. As such, when he got the opportunity to work with her in Shabd, Zayed quickly agreed. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, Zayed Khan opened up about working with Aishwarya Rai. Zayed Khan said, 'Shabd was the film that showed a married woman falling in love with a young man. Strangely, all the films that I had chosen were ahead of their time. Shabd had a good story. It was a slice of life told at a time when people weren't ready for it." He added, 'I was a fan of Aishwarya when she became Miss World. I used to have her picture in the locker room. When I heard the script of the film and learned that Aishwarya is in the film, I quickly asked, 'Where do I sign on?' I had a wonderful experience working with her." Zayed explained, 'She really knows how to play with you. There are actors who take time to come on set, and there is drama, and actual work is suffering; that's the worst situation to be in. But with Aishwarya, I thought it would be tough to break my fan moment, but she so naturally just said 'hi' and asked me if I wanted to do rehearsals first. She is so beautiful, it's like porcelain, it's not possible. Today, people do filters and all, but she had a natural filter." About Shabd Shabd (2005), directed by Leena Yadav, is a psychological drama that delves into the blurred lines between reality and fiction. The film stars Aishwarya Rai as Antara, a college lecturer, and Zayed Khan as Yash Agnihotri, a young admirer who becomes entangled in a complex narrative orchestrated by Antara's husband, Shaukat Vashisht, portrayed by Sanjay Dutt. The story unfolds as Shaukat, a celebrated author, grapples with writer's block. In a desperate bid for inspiration, he manipulates his wife's emotions by encouraging her to engage with Yash, hoping to fuel his creative process. This psychological experiment spirals out of control, leading to unforeseen consequences for all involved.
