The 31-year-old, who was last seen doing a cameo in 'Anjanna Anjaani', says he doesn't need movies to earn a living so took time off to introspect. "I took the time off deliberately, wanted to spend some time thinking about my choices. I don't have to do movies to earn a living so I had the option of taking a break. I didn't want to do any movie which came my way," Zayed said.

The actor, who started his movie career with 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne', has appeared in multistarrers like 'Main Hoon Naa', 'Dus', 'Shabd', 'Mission Istaanbul', 'Yuvvraaj' and 'Blue'. Zayed recently became a father for the second time after wife Mallaika Parekh Khan gave birth last month and he has been enjoying the perks of being a father. "This year has been very fruitful. My hands are full and I am busy being a domestic engineer."

The actor, who also turns producer with 'Love BreakUps Zindagi', says that his decision of producing a film was not something pre-decided but just happened. "I had never thought that I will produce a movie one day. It just happened and I am really excited about the film. There is a lot of hardwork and love that has gone into making the film and I hope it is recognised," he added.
