Back in the 90s and the early 2000s, Fardeen Khan was a pretty big deal. He was the quintessential Bollywood hottie who has quite a number of enjoyable films in his bag. Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Om Jai Jagadish, Khushi, Fida, Heyy Babyy and other such films are watched by people even to this day. However, since 2010, Fardeen Khan disappeared entirely from the film scene.
Back in 2016, a few images of him went viral on Twitter which showed that he had significantly gained weight. He was body-shamed mercilessly but he was graceful enough to hit back at the online trolling with a dignified response. Then again in 2020, he was spotted outside casting director Mukesh Chhabra’s office and he was in good shape. This made many speculate that the man is ready to make his Bollywood comeback.
After working out consistently and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Fardeen now is doing a few photoshoots with celebrity photographer Daboo Ratnani.

We cannot disagree with the fact that there has been a massive shift in the film-watching audience in India. They are rooting for stars who were once a big deal but then took a step back from the industry, hit rock bottom and are now again trying to build a career from scratch. Fardeen is one of them and there is a humongous chunk of people who are just waiting for him to make his comeback in films.
Here’s a look at some of the responses to his photoshoot:
We hope his second innings is a great one!
