Mumbai: Fardeen Khan is once again capturing attention, thanks to his remarkable first-time appearance on a digital streaming platform. Coming back to the screen with the series Heeramandi after almost a 14-year break, he shares his struggles following his father, Feroz Khan’s demise. In a candid conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Fardeen revealed that he opted for IVF treatment when facing hurdles in beginning a family. Scroll down to find more details.
The Heeramandi actor recalled the tough time rooting for IVF. Fardeen Khan said, “I needed some time after I lost my father. It was a tough time for me on a personal level. There were other considerations also, which I have spoken about at other times. We were having challenges having children, and that’s when we decided to take the IVF route. That’s why I needed to take some time off. It wasn’t meant to be this long. I thought only for a few years…get everything settled, but things didn’t happen that way. Then, when my daughter was born, my heart melted, and I thought, let’s spend some time with her (sic).”
He further continued, “But I was fortunate that I had the luxury to take that time off. It wasn’t deliberate or conscious, but having said that, when I look back, I wish I hadn’t taken such a long break. Definitely a regret on many levels (sic).”
Fardeen recently made an appearance in the debut OTT series of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, aptly named Heeramandi. In this series, he assumed the persona of Nawab Wali Bin Zayed-Al Mohammed. Famous actors such as Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Farida Jalal, Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, Jason Shah, among others, also delivered important roles alongside him. The series is a historical drama that beautifully mirrors the Indian independence movement, stretching from the 1920s to the 1940s. The title ‘Heeramandi,’ is seemingly influenced by the red-light area of the same name in Lahore, which was part of India before the partition. A second installment of Heeramandi has been recently announced.
Looking forward, Fardeen Khan’s upcoming project includes ‘Visfot’. He’s also lending his efforts to Mudassar Aziz’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’, a star-studded venture with big names like Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, among others.
