Unlike each year, Zayed Khan will not hit the party circuit on his birthday today. “Each year you grow as a person, learn from your mistakes and become focussed in life,” he says as he celebrates his birthday today. Lounging in his living room and watching the rains, Zayed is enjoying a day off. “It’s so romantic and beautiful. I quite like the rains… especially because it brings in an unexpected holiday,” he says.

This year, the actor plans to stay at home and spend the day with his family. He continues, “Last night, we had a nice family dinner. Since it was raining, no one wanted to step out of the house. So we ended up having some great home food.”

Having had his share of wild times, Zayed now seems to find satisfaction in being at home with the people who matter to him. “I am bored of parties. Now I want to be at home with my family,” he says.

Zayed gets nostalgic about the Mumbai monsoons. He says, “It rains every year during my birthday. When I was a kid, my parents would take me and 14 of my very close friends to Madh Island where we would have the time of our lives. I miss those days.”

Wife Malaika has already planned a get-together and invited close family and friends. But Zayed is not expecting any gifts. “By god’s grace I have everything. Everyone’s love and affection is the only gift one can ask for… although I can do with a good fruit cake in this weather,” he adds as an afterthought.

Zayed was supposed launch the music of his film Rocky today. “But he cancelled the party because the rains have caused a lot of havoc in people’s lives. He feels that this is not the right time to party,” says Raaj Kumar Tiwari, his business manager and project designer. Directed by Suresh Krishna, the film will also star Isha Sharvani. “It has been a while since I have worked in a solo hero project. I am really looking forward to its release,” he says.
