Zeeshan Khan and Arbaaz Khan, Zakir’s two siblings, are extremely well loved. An up-and-coming vocalist is Zeeshan. When he was younger, bullying forced Zakir Khan to transfer schools a lot.

His classmates used to tease him because of his unattractive look and darker skin, he remembered in an interview with “Chaipaani.” To motivate himself to succeed based only on skill and willpower, he continues to remind himself of his alleged “unattractive” appearance even now.

Mirza Ghalib is his most beloved poet, while Nawazuddin Siddiqi is his most beloved actor.
