Fardeen Khan’s Rollercoaster Ride Back to Bollywood 🎢

Guess who’s back, back again? No, it’s not Slim Shady. It’s none other than Fardeen Khan! Yes, the same guy who vanished from the scene faster than a plate of biryani at a Bollywood party. After 14 long years, he’s returned with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-buzzed web series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. And you know what they say—absence makes the heart grow fonder, or at least it makes the headlines juicier! 😏

During a soul-baring podcast (yes, we do podcasts now), Fardeen spilled the beans on his Bollywood journey. He made his debut in 1998 with Prem Aggan, a film that, let’s be honest, was so memorable that we all forgot about it. 😜

The Filmmaker Who Became an Actor by Accident 🎬

Now, here’s the plot twist! Fardeen confessed that he never wanted to be an actor. Nope, not even a little bit. "People kept telling my dad, ‘why isn’t this guy an actor?’ Probably because staring blankly into the camera wasn’t considered acting back then. But hey, when you’re Feroz Khan’s son, destiny has other plans. Or should I say, daddy has other plans?" Fardeen’s heart was set on filmmaking, but the acting bug bit him when he wasn’t looking.

"Filmmaking was my first choice, and how did I end up being an actor, I don’t know, big mistake," Fardeen revealed. Ouch! That’s gotta sting, right?

From Homeboy to Hero of Prem Aggan 🎥

Here’s a nugget for you: Fardeen’s big break in Prem Aggan came about in the most Bollywood way possible. Picture this: Feroz Khan is brainstorming for his film, and someone casually suggests, “Why not cast the guy who lives in your home?” 🎭 (Cue dramatic Bollywood music)

So, in true Bollywood fashion, Fardeen was thrust into the limelight. He admits, "I was very raw, my language wasn’t my strength, and when I look back, I still feel I should have given it some more time." Oh, Fardeen, sweetie, we all have regrets—mine involves a karaoke session and too much tequila, but I digress.

What’s Next for Fardeen? 🎬

After dazzling us (or at least trying to) in Heeramandi, Fardeen is set to star in Khel Khel Mein with a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, and Ammy Virk. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film is slated for an August 15, 2024 release. And wait for it—he’s also going to be in Housefull 5. Talk about a comeback!
