When Zayed Khan started his Bollywood journey with the film Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne, everyone thought he would become a big star. His role alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Main Hoon Na made people believe he was the next superstar. However, after these early successes, Zayed faced a lot of disappointments in his acting career. Between 2005 and 2012, he acted in 10 films, but sadly, all of them flopped at the box office. His last movie, Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene, released in 2015, was also a failure. He returned to TV in 2017 with the show Haasil, but by then, he had only one hit, while most of his projects were flops.
Despite the setbacks in movies, Zayed decided to focus on business instead of giving up. Using his degree in business management, he smartly invested in different startups and has built a great fortune. As of 2024, reports say his net worth is around ₹1500 crore. If this is true, it makes him richer than many famous actors today, including Ranbir Kapoor and Allu Arjun.
In an interview, Zayed shared some simple money advice: “Live within your means.” He warned against trying to impress others with a flashy lifestyle that one cannot afford. He believes that many people get into debt trying to keep up appearances, and this is not a good path to follow.
This year, Zayed hinted at wanting to return to acting but hasn’t shared details about his next project yet. He plans to continue balancing his business and acting roles.
