Zayed's scared of the sharks

Zayed Khan is a trained scuba diver but he had a totally different challenge to face while shooting for his new movie 'Blue'.

Well, we understand why he's to do things like these. His career isn't happening at all with even supposedly big movies like 'Mission Istaanbul' and 'Yuvvraaj' flopping.

The lad wasn't very comfortable swimming with the sharks for his new movie 'Blue' which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif, together with about forty sharks. But he had to do it.

He's said, "Just the idea of swimming around with these unpredictable beasts was difficult. We always had our trainers and divers around. The trainers instructed us not to keep long hair and not to colour them blonde as sharks get attracted to white. Then they told us that we shouldn't have any cuts on our body and if at all we had any, we should bandage it well."

Well, must say he guy is trying very hard.

Looks like some serious tips from brother-in-law Hrithik Roshan will help a little.

Or maybe dad Sanjay Khan, uncle Feroz Khan and cousin Fardeen Khan should guide him better!

On another note, the lad is a little stuck up too. His latest movie 'Yuvvraaj' saw him lip-locking for the first time on screen. He said it left him feeling very embarrassed when watching the movie with his wife.

He's said, "Firstly, I've never done intimate scenes like these on screen. I'm a family man with a wife and a son. And to watch the scenes with my parents at the premiere gave me the shivers. What would they think? On top of it all, it was our marriage anniversary. What a gift for my wife."

Well, this guy sure wants to portray an amazingly decent image. We wonder if this trait is actually working against him and making him thanda in the process
