Bollywood actor Fardeen Khan turns a year older today (March 8). The 47-year-old actor was seen in Mudassar Aziz’s ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’.
Fardeen Khan might not be particularly known for his acting talent, but he was considerably popular with the film-going audience of the early noughties. He made his Bollywood debut with Prem Aggan, which was released in 1998 and was helmed by his famous star father Feroz Khan. Although a bit hard to believe, Fardeen won a Filmfare Best Male Debut award the next year. Since then, Khan worked almost continuously till 2010, when Dulha Mil Gaya was finally released.
The movie tanked at the box office, and Fardeen took a long break from the movies. While he may have been away from the limelight for several years, when he was active in the scene, Fardeen was often compared to his stylish, suave star father, the late Feroz Khan.
