<\/span>Zayn Malik on his love for Indian films<\/span>Malik also spoke about his longstanding affinity for Indian films, revealing that they are a part of his routine. \u201cI\u2019m always watching Indian films,\u201d he said, and picked ‘Main Hoon Na’, starring Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>, as a personal favourite.<\/span>Zayn Malik on what he loves about Indian music<\/span>Malik also shared his admiration for Indian music, saying \u201cI\u2019m listening to the music\u2014some of the best sound scores in the world.” He went on to add, “I know I\u2019m biased, I partially come from India\u2026 but the level of meticulousness that\u2019s conveyed through even the instrument playing is ridiculous, so complex, and it really interests my brain.\u201d<\/span>Ultimately, he said, it is the emotional resonance of Indian music that draws him in. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think the thing I really love about Indian music is that it feels like it comes from the soul,\u201d he noted. “It\u2019s uplifting, it\u2019s positive, it\u2019s about the possibility of love\u2026 the idea that when you fall in love, it\u2019s going to be a fairytale. It doesn\u2019t quite work like that in reality, but the idea is nice.\u201d<\/span>Zayn Malik on highlighting his culture<\/span>Discussing his music, Malik highlighted how he incorporates South Asian influences into his work while still appealing to a global audience. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always important for me to bring my culture into things because I feel that\u2019s what makes me, me. There are not many Indian-Pakistani artists here in the West that the world knows, so it makes it unique and individual.\u201d<\/span>He emphasised that his cultural identity has always been central to his life and artistry. \u201cMy culture, heritage, and ethnicity have been very prominent throughout my life,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m mixed race, I\u2019m very aware of it.\u201d<\/span>Sharing his surprise over his Indian fanbase, the former One Direction member extended his gratitude for their support saying, \u201cThank you so much for all your love and support. I\u2019m a guy from England\u2014Bradford\u2014I never thought people in India would ever know who the F I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
