Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, and Shah Rukh Khan these three actors are my favorites across three generations. People used to call Dilip sir Tragedy king. Whenever I am doing my emotional scenes, I used to fall back on his performances and watch them. How much ever I try, I would never reach close to him. But I try my level best. I think It's a big loss for the industry and no one can ever take the place of Dilip Saab. May Allah give him Jannat (heaven).”
Zaan adds, “Recently a very close friend of mine told me that Saira Bano watches my show Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye and that is a huge thing for me. She has also commented about me, "is ladke me Dilip saab ki jhalak dikhti hai". It is the biggest compliment for me till date.”
