Zeeshan Ayyub recalls how Shah Rukh Khan saved his career: 'I was almost on the verge of quitting acting'

Bollywood actor Zeeshan Ayyub has shared the screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Raees and has recently reflected on working with the King Khan. He admitted that SRK somehow changed him and saved his career.

In a recent interview with Digital Commentary, Zeeshan recalled working with Shah Rukh and said, “Kuch toh kiya tha uss aadmi ne, badal diya tha andar se. Jab unhone mujhe dekha toh scan kar liya tha ki bhut pereshaan hai aur main tha (He must have done something; he had changed me from within. When he looked at me, he sensed I was very troubled – and I was).”

He added, “I was almost on the verge of quitting acting and leaving, thinking I can’t do this anymore.” Zeeshan further noted that he was getting typecast in Bollywood and was bored of playing similar roles.

Zeeshan explained, “I was bored of playing the same kind of roles. 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.”
