Throwback: Zayn Malik thought Shah Rukh Khan was ‘slightly arrogant’

Shah Rukh Khan was once described as “slightly arrogant” by Zayn Malik. After meeting the actor, however, he became a “huge fan.”

When Shah Rukh Khan visited the Asian Awards in London in 2015, he met Zayn Malik. Doniya Malik, Zayn’s sister, greeted him. On their own social media sites, Shah Rukh and Doniya both shared photos.

In an interview with Elle India, Zayn had said, “I personally wasn’t a huge fan until I met him. I realised how humble he is. Really showed a different side to him.

He always came across as slightly arrogant in the movies to me but when I met him in real life, he was so nice. He just completely changed my opinion of him.”

He had also said, “Bollywood is so impeccable. If you ever get a chance to watch a good Bollywood movie, watch Devdas! Have you seen Devdas? It’s got Shah Rukh Khan in it. You know who Shah Rukh Khan is?”

Shah Rukh tweeted a black-and-white selfie with Zayn following the Asian Awards. He had captioned the photo, “This kid is so cool. May Allah bless him. Dinner time at the Asian Awards.” The picture became the most retweeted picture in India in 2015.

According to TMZ insiders, Zayn Malik was involved in a fight with Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid. The singer was at Gigi’s house on September 29 because he wanted to be near his daughter.

Yolanda stormed into the house without knocking or even phoning ahead. Yolanda claimed to have been struck by Zayn, according to the report.
