Zayn Malik says he watches Bollywood films with Gigi in first interview since becoming dad

Zayn Malik has given a rare insight into his relationship with Gigi Hadid in his first interview since becoming a dad.

The former One Direction star, 28, has revealed that the duo like to watch Bollywood films together.

His interview with GQ Spain and India is the first he's given since he and Gigi, 25, welcomed their baby daughter Khai in September last year.

He told the magazine: "I watch a lot of Bollywood movies and I have many favourites.

"I love all the classics, I started showing them to my girl now too, and she watches them with me."

Zayn also discussed his need to be creative.

He added: "It really is not easy to have some form of creative freedom or control.

"The truth is that I have to continually go against the grain when people tell me to do things a certain way, but my stubbornness and my willingness to want to do things differently help me get through it."

Zayn discussed his relationship with his fans, saying he treats everyone the same.

He continued: "I think the key when you talk to people is that you don't generalise, you don't say this person is a 'fan' or this person is 'this or that', you just talk to everyone like normal people, people like you.

"My relationship with people is good, I like to talk to everyone equally, I don't want to reduce anyone to just one thing.

"We are all people."

He also explained why he called his album Nobody Is Listening, which he released back in January.

Zayn said: "With everything going on, and in a world of unnecessarily overexposed opinions, with people yelling at each other to see who makes the most noise, I feel like no one is being heard.

"People love to talk, but nobody likes to listen."

He went on: "I think the quarantine has affected me in the same way as everyone else.

"I am not a person that spends too much time outside home or outdoors and I like to have my own space, so that is the only advantage, other than that now it is also driving me crazy."
