Besides his family Zayed Khan doesn't have too many people in his life whom he is close to.

Politician-writer Sunanda Pushkar was one person outside the family circle that Zayed was really close.

`She was close to my entire family,` says Zayed, still in disbelief about Sundanda's death. `It's really hard me to get my head around the fact that she is no more with us.`

A regular visitor in the Khan family Sunanda was close to every member of the family and spent individual time with them. Zayed would often discuss life and related problems with her.

`She was one of the warmest most amazing human beings I had met. I'd say she was a good friend of mine I am actually still in disbelief! How can someone so beautiful go so rudely?I knew her for about five years now. But it seems I knew her forever. That's how warm and wonderful she was. Whenever she was around she spread so much happiness. Now that radiance is gone,` says Zayed.


Incidentally Sunanda Pushkar's only son Shiv is all set to make his acting debut. Apparently Sunanda had many friends in Bollywood including the Khans . They all are expected to support the boy in his aspirations.
