Fardeen Khan recalls opting for IVF.
The Heeramandi actor recalled having a tough time rooting for IVF. Fardeen Khan said, “I needed some time after I lost my father. It was a tough time for me on a personal level. There were other considerations as well, which I have spoken about at other times. We were having challenges having children, and that’s when we decided to take the IVF route. That’s why I needed to take some time off. It wasn’t meant to be this long. I thought only for a few years to get everything settled, but things didn’t happen that way. Then, when my daughter was born, my heart melted, and I thought, Let’s spend some time with her.”
He further continued, “But I was fortunate that I had the luxury to take that time off. It wasn’t deliberate or conscious, but having said that, when I look back, I wish I hadn’t taken such a long break. Definitely a regret on many levels.”
Fardeen Khan’s Professional Front
Fardeen recently made an appearance in the debut OTT series of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, aptly named Heeramandi. In this series, he assumed the persona of Nawab Wali Bin Zayed-Al Mohammed. Famous actors such as Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Farida Jalal, Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, and Jason Shah, among others, also delivered important roles alongside him. The series is a historical drama that beautifully mirrors the Indian independence movement, stretching from the 1920s to the 1940s. The title ‘Heeramandi’ is seemingly influenced by the red-light area of the same name in Lahore, which was part of India before the partition. A second installment of Heeramandi has been recently announced.
