Zeeshan Ayyub has been one of the actors who are accepted and lauded by movie buffs for his critically acclaimed movie roles. The actor revealed how a broker leaves him with no money.
“It was a tiny house, with a terrace, where we would just dry clothes and use it for nothing else. He took our money, so we were actually down to zero money in the city. I remember once we were sitting together and laughing, thinking hum kitne bewakoof hai, kya sochke aagaye hai (how naïve we were to shift to Mumbai), what will happen now?”, he said.
It was actor Vineet Kumar who helped him with work and told him to write syllabus for an acting school. “Vineet bhai asked me to get a printout of it and submit to the man. I didn’t even have ₹2 for the printout, so we searched coins in the house and somehow managed to find. I submitted the syllabus, and the man handed me ₹15000 cash.,” he added.

Talking about their married life, Rasika said, “We have seen the phase of no money, almost zero money. We got married at 24, so we were very naive. We thought ₹40,000 will be enough to survive in Mumbai. It got over on the second day in deposit and rent. We saw that time together, but I don’t remember us ever being sad. It was a one room house, we would still have fun, friends would come over for tea. Now the house is bigger, but evenings are still for tea and friends.”
