In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Fardeen Khan opened up about how the industry perceived him during his hiatus. He mentioned that although there were offers at first, his significant weight gain sent a signal to others that he was no longer interested or was pursuing something else. When asked if he regretted his 12-year break, he admitted that it was indeed a major regret. While he didn’t plan for such a long absence, he wished the gap had been much shorter. He explained that he needed time to cope after losing his father and to address personal matters, but acknowledged that 12 years is quite a lengthy period.
Fardeen Khan, who debuted in 1998, took an extended break from the industry from 2010 to 2024. He marked his return with the web series Heeramandi earlier this year. Following that, he appeared in the multi-starrer Khel Khel Mein and Visfot.
