Fardeen Khan reveals he never told father Feroz Khan how 'serious' his cancer prognosis was; shares his closet is 'exactly how he left it'

As an ardent fan of Bollywood, I find myself deeply moved by the poignant story of Fardeen Khan and his late father, Feroz Khan. His decision to shield his father from the harsh reality of his cancer battle, in a bid to preserve his hope and spirit, is a testament to their extraordinary bond.


Actor Fardeen Khan, experiencing a resurgence in Bollywood, has spoken candidly about his late father Feroz Khan. He confessed that during Feroz’s fight against cancer, he did not disclose the severity of his condition to him. Interestingly, fifteen years after Feroz’s passing, his wardrobe remains untouched, preserving it just as he had left it.

In a conversation with GQ India, Fardeen Khan discussed the final stages of his father Feroz Khan’s stage IV cancer. He confided that as primary caregivers alongside his sister, they deliberately chose not to disclose the severity of his condition to him. They never let him know just how critical it was, so as to preserve his optimism.

In a more casual, conversational style: The Heeramandi star shared that his father was quite the character, larger than life, even within their family. Seeing him in a weak or vulnerable state was tough for them both.

15 years after Feroz Khan’s passing, I can still step into his closet as if he had just stepped out moments ago. Everything remains untouched – from his shoes, belts, bathrobes, hats, socks, and other personal items. As a dedicated follower and son, I am preserving his belongings with great care, planning to honor his legacy in a special way for his fans.

In September 2024, Fardeen Khan took to social media on Feroz Khan’s birth anniversary, penning a touching tribute. He and his sister Laila paid homage to their father in moving words, stating, “Fifteen years have gone by since your departure, yet your influence lingers profoundly in the lives of those who didn’t even know you. Your grandchildren—the third generation of the Khans—embody fragments of your courage and exceptional character.

The message went on to say, ‘You are engraved in their memories with tales of your noble character – your elegance, might, and everlasting charm. Despite the hand of fate separating us, your spirit flows within them, a connection that transcends words yet remains profound. Stolen from us prematurely, but in them, your legacy thrives beyond what language can express. Happy Birthday, Papa. You continue to live through us, forever.’ Laila & Fardeen.

In terms of his career, Fardeen Khan has recently appeared in the comedy-drama “Khel Khel Mein” as well as the crime thriller “Visfot”. He is now preparing for a role in “Housefull 5”, where he will be joining forces with Akshay Kumar and an impressive cast of actors.
