Zayed Khan had a true royal birthday this time. Though a quite one, but there was a profusion of gifts from family, friends and one special one from the King of Bahrain.
This royal gesture is not a new one, for the Khan family has close ties with the King Sheikh Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa. The friendship dates back to their fathers, and the two families are a regular presence in each others’ functions and celebrations.
A source reveals, “Sanjay Khan is very close to the royal dynasties of the UAE. He`s normally invited to all their gatherings and celebrations. The King of Bahrain is very close to Sanjay Khan`s family and is fond of his kids.
Since he couldn`t be here for Zayed`s birthday, His Highness personally called to wish him personally, and gave his blessings. He also sent a special gift that costs a few crores.”
The source added, “Sanjay`s family are regular visitors at the King of Bahrain`s place. There are pictures of the Khan family with the Sheikh in his office.”
Zayed confirmed the news, saying, “Our family is very close to Sheikh Hamad. My father also shares a good rapport with the other Sheikhs in the UAE. It feels good when people wish you on your birthday and Sheikh Hamad did call me and gave me his blessings.”
However, he managed to hide the details about the gift. He said, “I did receive gifts from a lot of people including him, but it is too personal to talk about it.”
