NEW DELHI: When Zayed Khan had to slap Anil Kapoor for a scene in Subhash Ghai’s Yuvvraaj, he felt insulted but carried off the act well, realising that it is all a part of his job - acting.

“I never imagined I would slap Anil Kapoor. For me, Anil is like an elder brother and is very experienced. On a personal level, I felt insulted for having slapped him. But that’s what acting is all about,” Zayed said.

Despite the presence of industry bigwigs like Anil, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, Zayed said his presence will be felt in the film.

“Your presence must be felt by your performance, by how good you make it and how confident you are of yourself. I never felt their presence in the film was threatening because my biggest asset on sets is that I consider myself a student.

“Whenever I am working with seniors, I give them their space but once I am in my zone, I forget who is senior, junior, big, small, and I just come in to my own workspace,” he said.
