There's much reason to rejoice in the Khan household. Even as Sussanne Roshan prepares for motherhood a second time, brother Zayed is over-the-moon with his first-time parenthood.

"I've named my son Zidaan, it means son. His naming was put to vote and we all opted for Zidaan. It feels very strange and yet very comforting to have someone come in an usurp me as the baby of the family.

I enjoyed it while it lasted. But now I want to pass the baton on. There're many perks to being the baby of the family. But there're an equal number of disincentives.

I was tired of being the family's center of attraction.I was a very loved child. All my family, parents, aunts, sisters pampered me. I'm a lucky guy. I can't complain."

The new father's joy brims over. " The three most defining moments in a guy's life are, when his father calls him his son, when the woman he loves call him her husband and when his child calls him father.

I've gone through all these defining moments. My parents are ecstatic. Words cannot express their happiness. My Dad says, 'My third copy is out.'

In fact our entire house is being re-done for him. It's been a long time since any renovation was done in the house. But we never had any incentive. He came home on Wednesday 23 Jan.We had a welcome-home ceremony done for him."

Moving reluctantly to work Zayed describes the "fantastic schedule" in Turkey for Mission Istanbul. "It's all about working with like-minded people. Yes, I did some audacious action including jumping down a high-rise. There was no choice.

My character required me to get seriously audacious. And I did. We took a lot of precautions. But I told my director Apoorva Lakhia that we need to give the audience their money's worth. As a kid I remember how thrilled I used to be watching my father and Mr Amitabh Bachchan do all those daredevil stunts.

Today's audience has seen so much more of the international cinema. We have to give them international-level action. If you see Chinese cinema, it takes action to another level"

Zayed admits he was terrified doing the heart-in-the-mouth stunts. "Anything that happens for the first time, be it fatherhood or stunts, scares you.. I asked our action guys to show me exactly what they wanted done.

I really practiced hard before taking the plunge. Apoorva's film believes in very high-octane stunts. Apu's a hyper guy.Very passionate and spirited."

But Zayed had to keep the action away from his parents. " I hid the truth of the stunts from my family as much as possible. Being the son and husband and father-to-be I had to spare them the anxiety."

Zayed admits he had verbal spats with his director on the sets. "By the end of the day we either didn't talk to one another, or had canned terrific shots, or both."
