 Mumbai, Feb. 8 (TNS): Zayn Malik has been the talk of the town this past week as he posed for his first ever Indian fashion magazine.

The British-Pakistani singer seems to be living life to the fullest ever since his departure from boy band One Direction.

With his recent album, ruling UK and US charts, Zayn’s fashion statements too, have landed him some pretty good deals.

Clad in a printed kurta, the Pillowtalk hitmaker gets candid about his love for Bollywood, upcoming music and the women in his life.

This may come as a surprise to many but Zayn is actually a massive Bollywood fan. He grew up watching the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, and will recommend Shah Rukh Khan’s Devdas (2002) to anyone, any chance he gets.

“Before I can even remember, Bollywood films would be on TV,” he shared. “Bollywood is so impeccable. If you ever get a chance to watch a good Bollywood movie, watch Devdas! Have you seen it? It’s got Shah Rukh Khan in it.” He sure seems to be a big fan of Bollywood’s King Khan.

He went on to speak about his stimuli, “I’m always inspired by old music that I’ve loved since I was a kid – R Kelly, Usher, Chris Brown.”

Speaking of his upcoming album, Zayn revealed, “There’s definitely a lot of Urdu; some nice qawwali sounds. There might even be some bhangra vibes. I have worked with AR Rahman on one song,” Zayn confirmed.
