Naamkaran
To
End
On
Zain’s
Birthday
Regarding
the
show's
end,
the
actor
told
TOI,
"It
has
been
a
fulfilling
journey.
I
don't
know
whether
it's
lucky
or
unlucky
for
the
show
to
end
on
my
birthday,
but
I
want
to
take
it
positively.
I
am
grateful
to
God,
as
I
have
not
been
out
of
work."
Zain’s
Plan
After
Naamkaran
The
actor
has
not
made
any
plans
for
his
birthday,
but
adds
that
he
wants
to
go
on
a
break
for
a
month
or
two,
before
he
is
back
in
action.
He
adds
that
he
is
exhausted
and
might
plan
a
trip
abroad!
The
Actor’s
Journey
In
Showbiz
About
his
journey
in
showbiz,
the
actor
told
the
leading
daily,
"After
completing
MBA,
I
worked
with
a
corporate
company.
However,
I
didn't
like
the
idea
of
restricting
myself
to
rules
and
following
orders
blindly.
So,
I
quit."
Zain
Was
Happy
Modelling
&
Doing
Ads
"Though
I
was
always
inclined
towards
joining
the
glamour
industry,
I
never
aspired
to
get
into
acting.
I
was
happy
modelling
and
doing
ads.
I
come
from
a
middle-class
family
and
my
parents
gave
me
a
year
to
make
it
or
return
home,
as
they
had
their
inhibitions
about
me
moving
to
Mumbai,
alone."
The
Actor’s
First
Commercial
"I
bagged
my
first
commercial
in
the
first
month
and
assumed
that
it's
going
to
a
cakewalk,
but
there
was
no
work
for
the
next
five
months
and
I
exhausted
my
earnings.
I
used
to
spend
days
giving
auditions.
There
was
a
time
when
I
couldn't
find
a
house
because
of
my
single
status
and
had
to
sleep
in
my
friend's
car
for
days
on
end.
I
was
so
busy
finding
a
roof
over
my
head
that
I
couldn't
take
up
any
work."
When
Zain
Decided
To
Try
His
Luck
On
TV
"Around
that
time,
I
decided
to
try
my
luck
on
TV,
as
the
money
was
better
than
commercials.
However,
I
had
no
professional
training
in
acting
and
people
would
mock
me
at
auditions.
Instead
of
giving
up,
I
vowed
to
improve
my
acting
skills
and
prove
them
wrong.
Though
I
struggled
a
lot
in
the
beginning,
once
I
managed
to
get
a
foothold,
I
started
taking
up
challenging
work."
Tashan-E-Ishq
"I
came
to
Mumbai
on
April
12,
2014
and
I
am
happy
where
I
am
today.
Bagging
Tashan-E-Ishq
has
been
the
turning
point
in
my
career.
Since
then,
there
has
been
no
looking
back."
Zain’s
TV
Shows
"I
joined
Yeh
Vaada
Raha
post
the
time
leap,
but
it
ended
in
just
three
months.
That's
when
I
decided
that
I
won't
join
any
show
midway.
Naamkaran
is
the
only
exception
to
that
rule,
because
the
makers
convinced
me
that
it's
going
to
be
an
interesting
journey."
Naamkaran
Actor
Wants
To
Try
Luck
In
Films
Zain
feels
that
daily
soaps
get
monotonous.
He
adds,
"As
an
artiste,
you
don't
learn
much
as
you
are
expected
to
do
the
same
thing
over
and
over
again.
In
finite
shows,
the
story
doesn't
get
dragged
unnecessarily.
I
wonder
how
shows
manage
to
run
for
years."
The
actor
wants
to
try
his
luck
in
films
and
be
part
of
a
biopic.
Zain
&
Aditi
Are
Good
Friends!
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
he
was
in
news
for
saying
that
he
would
love
to
marry
his
Naamkaran
co-actress
Aditi
Rathore.
When
asked
about
his
statement,
the
actor
said,
"I
didn't
mean
it
that
way.
What
I
said
was
misconstrued.
We
are
good
friends."
When
asked
whether
he
is
n
a
relationship,
he
says,
"My
lips
are
sealed."
