       A &quot;gluttonous&quot; affair with Hasan Zaidi
   DIR By: strawberrylicious

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Of the various shows he has done on television, Khotey Sikkey
       and Inspector Gautam from Shapath have stood out and the actor
       was recently seen in a smart and perky avatar in Vikram Bhatt�s
       Horror Story. It is none other than the good-looking and
       dedicated actor Hasan Zaidi who joined me for a late lunch at
       The Oriental Residency Hotel�s restaurant Soul in Khar. As the
       affable Operations Manager Sameer Yelve received us, I noticed
       Hasan looked too lean for the Inspector�s role he essayed in
       Shapath. He has lately been having problem with his health as he
       revealed, �I have developed an allergy to certain foods like
       yeast, tomatoes, spices like cinnamon and I am on homeopathic
       medication,� which information we passed on to Executive Chef
       Pratap Singh Kentura, who whipped up delicious dishes in
       accordance. Of course, that limited our order of dishes since
       very few items can be prepared without lycopene (tomatoes) and
       spices yet the Chef with his dexterity made sure our plates were
       full of delectable starters like Paneer in Salt & Pepper, Mutton
       Rolls topped with cheese and corn-based Moti Kebab, with Hasan
       sipping on fresh lime and me relishing a yummy strawberry-based
       fruit punch.
       But that does not deter Hasan, a good cook himself, from
       preparing a mean Goulash (European stew) to Mutton Kheema at
       home, both of which he is adept at churning out with precision.
       The handsome linguist visits the land famous for Gargoyle giant
       and Swarvoski crystals and spends almost three months at his
       wife�s place cooking, enjoying and learning new languages.
       His lovely wife Christina Bauer comes from one of the richest
       European countries in the world- Austria. And how did his love
       story begin? She was on a work trip to India and he filled in
       the place of a mutual friend to take her around Mumbai. She left
       for her homeland in Europe but the seeds of love were sown in
       both the hearts which bloomed into a beautiful relationship and
       now they have Naila, a cute baby girl. I found him to be
       intensely passionate about his field of profession to the point
       of distraction as he has never bothered to get written about or
       project himself unnecessarily in the media.
       When it comes to acting, Hasan goes beyond the call of duty and
       I found him to be very knowledgeable in all the aspects of
       production as he himself plans to be a line producer soon.
       Talking about Vikram Bhatt�s Horror Story, he feels, �Horror is
       one genre which can never go out of fashion. The fact that
       people go to the theatre for a horror movie shows they though
       they brace themselves not to get scared, still they want to
       watch it.� Is he like his character of the fearless guy of the
       gang, Samrat, and he narrates a spooky encounter, �I was called
       for a solo shot and when I took the lift, it went straight to
       the 5th floor even before I could press any button. But when I
       reached there, it was very dark and there was no crew member on
       the floor.�
       Appreciating main course of Chef�s special gravy of Sabnam
       Kofta, Aloo Mutter and Veg Pulav, we let our conversation roll.
       Presently Hasan is busy rehearsing for a mystery drama called
       Sleuth with co-actor Rajesh Khera, an adaptation of the 1970
       play of same name by Anthony Shaffer. �This will be my first
       appearance on stage and I am looking forward to live audience
       reaction which is bound to give any actor a high,� avers Hasan.
       On that note we order for Butterscotch ice creams and take our
       pleasant meeting to a sweet finale!
