Zayed bonds with 'bro' Fardeen

By Subhash K. Jha, Mumbai, June 22 : Zayed Khan has been bonding more closely than ever before with cousin Fardeen ever since he lost his father, Feroz Khan. Always known to be fond of one another, the two are now almost inseparable.

Fardeen, who finds it hard to articulate his grief to anyone else, is very much at home with his cousin and had been missing Zayed in Goa where he has been shooting for the past one month for director Rohit Shetty's comedy "All The Best".

Trying to be funny on camera while feeling far from amused is the last thing Fardeen wants to do at the moment. Sensing his brother's anguish, Zayed after landing here from Macau suddenly took off for Goa to give him company.

Uncharacteristically, he went without his wife and son.

"But sometimes a guy just has to be with his bro," Zayed told IANS. "We've always been close. I guess now my bro needs me more than ever. So here I am. What is family for?"

Meanwhile, Zayed is gearing up for his second innings as his father Sanjay Khan is producing an international jungle adventure featuring him along with his star brother-in-law Hrithik Roshan.
