Wasn’t Sure If I Would Have A Job, Says Fardeen On His Hiatus And Comeback

JAIPUR (ANI)- Fardeen Khan made a remarkable comeback in the entertainment industry with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi. Since then, he has been signing back-to-back high-budget films set for release this year.

At the silver jubilee celebrations of IIFA 2025, Fardeen opened up about his return to showbiz, expressing gratitude for the opportunities after a long break.

“I’m very grateful for the chances I’ve been given and for the belief people have had in me. After taking a long gap, I wasn’t sure if I was going to have a job,” he said during a media interaction.

Besides his comeback, the No Entry actor also made headlines for his impressive weight loss and body transformation. Speaking about his journey, he shared, “I wanted to reclaim my health. I wasn’t feeling great physically or emotionally. I educated myself about food, metabolism, and the role nutrition plays. I also made long-overdue lifestyle changes. Today, I feel better than ever.”

Following Heeramandi, Fardeen starred in Khel Khel Mein alongside Akshay Kumar, Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Ammy Virk. His film Visfot with Riteish Deshmukh also received appreciation. He will next be seen in Housefull 5.
