“15 years without you, and though time has passed, your presence is felt deeply in the lives of those you never had the chance to meet,” Fardeen Khan wrote.
Veteran actor Feroz Khan was a prominent face in the Hindi film industry. In his career spanning decades, the actor-director-producer treated the audience with several noteworthy films including Jaanbaaz, Dharmatma and Qurbani. On the occasion of Feroz Khan’s 85th birth anniversary today, September 25, his son-actor Fardeen Khan paid a heartfelt tribute to his father. He re-posted a video on Instagram, featuring some pictures of Feroz Khan, spanning from his younger days to his later years. Along with the post, Fardeen Khan also penned a note for his father asserting that he would continue to “live on through” his family.
The first few photos in the clip captured Feroz Khan in his childhood days navigating through his teenage and adult years. Some portraits from his time as an actor and from films he was a part of were also featured in the post. Feroz Khan seemed to share a lovely bond with his children as a few clicks presented the Kaala Sona actor sharing warm moments with Fardeen and his sister Laila Khan. As the video progressed, snaps of Fardeen with his wife Natasha Madhvani and kids Diani Isabella and Azarius also made it to the clip, alongside some adorable fam-jam moments of Laila. In one of the frames, Feroz Khan and Fardeen were twinning in monochrome suits, in another they were sharing a laugh. Some vintage photos were seen in the video as well. One heartwarming picture showcased Feroz Khan teaching his son the mechanics of a filming camera when he was just a kid.
“15 years without you, and though time has passed, your presence is felt deeply in the lives of those you never had the chance to meet. Your grandchildren, the third generation of Khans, carry pieces of your fearless heart and unmatched spirit. They live with stories of the legend you were—your grace, your strength, and your timeless charisma. Though fate kept you apart, your essence runs through their veins, a bond unspoken but deeply understood. Taken from us too soon, but through them, your legacy endures in ways words cannot capture. Happy Birthday, pa. You live on through us, always. Laila & Fardeen,” read the caption.
Speaking about Fardeen Khan, the actor made a comeback to acting this year with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series Heeramandi. The actor was also seen in director Kookie Gulati’s action-thriller Visfot and Akshay Kumar’s comedy-drama Khel Khel Mein.
