Meet actor whose father borrowed money for his debut film, it flopped badly, given 19 flops in, in 12 years, no solo hit, one film…

Salman, Aamir, and Shah Rukh, the three Khans of Bollywood, have been dominating the movie business with their blockbusters and smashes. But do you know about Bollywood’s fourth Khan?

Being the son of a famous person does not ensure success in the movie business. This is the case with a lot of actors, one such being Fardeen Khan, who has only been in one successful movie out of 21. He is the son of Feroz Khan, a well-known Bollywood figure and superstar in his own right. The actor made a solid comeback after 13 years with the Netflix show ‘Constitution: The Diamond Bazaar‘, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Fardeen Khan was encouraged to pursue a career in movies by Feroz Khan. ‘Prem Aggan‘ was his son’s debut movie, but it was a huge box office failure. He worked on 15 films after his disastrous debut, but none of them were successful at the box office. Fardeen featured in ‘Heyy Babyy‘ with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Vidya Balan, Anupam Kher, and Boman Irani when his career was about to take a nosedive. Despite being a huge hit and earning over Rs 83 crores globally, the movie did little to advance Fardeen Khan’s career.

Fardeen Khan took a sabbatical from acting and left the movie industry for 14 years after starring in back-to-back bad movies with only one hit. Before his hiatus, he was last seen with Sushmita Sen in the 2010 movie ‘Dulha Mil Gaya.’

Following a string of unsuccessful Bollywood films, the actor chose to return to the industry with ‘Khel Khel Mein,’ but this decision too failed. Vartika’s sister’s wedding brings together Rishabh (Akshay Kumar), his wife, Vartika (Vaani Kapoor), and his five friends Kabir (Fardeen Khan), Samar (Aditya Seal), his wife Naina (Pragya Jaiswal), Harpreet (Ammy Virk), and his wife Harpreet aka Happy (Taapsee Pannu). As the party gathers in Rishabh’s room for the Sangeet ceremony, Vartika decides to play a game in which everyone must keep their phones on the table and share openly whoever’s phone calls or sends a message. Initially entertaining and full of humorous moments, this game takes a negative turn when the couple’s secrets start to surface and cause miscommunications.

Fardeen Khan’s next appearance will be in Housefull 5which also stars Akshay, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, and Chitrangada Singh. Alongside actor Darshan, he is also working on a Kannada pan-India movie.
