Main Hoon Na fame Zayed Khan has been opening up about anecdotes from his personal and professional life. During a recent interview with Zoom, he opened up about his father Sanjay Khan’s much-talked-about alleged affair with veteran actress Zeenat Aman. Opening up about the time when their rumoured romance made the headlines, he called the period ‘carefree’ and stated that Bollywood in the ‘70s and ‘80s was the “Wild Wild West.”
When asked about the reports of the extramarital affair causing turmoil in their house, Zayed revealed that the situation was happening in every actor’s house at the time. Quoted by Indian Express, he said, “It wasn’t just at my dad’s house but was happening in every actor’s house. Every person was highly eccentric except one or two oddballs who were really sincere and grounded; the rest of them… phew! When I was young, I used to see these guys partying and dressing up in those jazzy Versace shirts and their things. It was a whole different era back then. They were real personalities.” ALSO READ: When Sanjay Khan Permanently Damaged Ex-Wife Zeenat Aman's Eye After Beating Her Brutally In A Hotel Room And Almost Broke Her Ribs
