Feroz Khan is hands-down one of the greatest actors in the history of Hindi cinema. From being a charming hero to becoming one of the scariest villains ever, Feroz's work is still studied in film schools across India. The actor was born on September 25, 1939, in Bengaluru as Zulfiqar Ali Shah Khan. He made his debut as an actor in the film, Didi (1959) but achieved success with Oonche Log (1965). In a career spanning more than four decades, he had worked in over 60 films. Unfortunately, it was on April 27, 2009, when Feroz Khan passed away due to lung cancer.
On September 25, 2024, Fardeen Khan took to his Instagram handle and posted a video comprising of Feroz Khan's pictures from the memory lane. From the iconic actor's younger days to the time when he was directing his son, Fardeen, in the film, Janasheen, the video is simply priceless for Feroz Khan's fans and loved ones. However, along with the video, Fardeen also penned a beautiful note in the caption in which he poured out his love and respect to his late father.

The doting son, Fardeen Khan, admitted that he and his family missed his father, Feroz Khan, deeply in the last 15 years. However, he continued explaining that he is still with them. Fardeen shared that his father continues to live with them through him and the third generation of his family. The actor proudly added that his children, Diani Isabella Khan and Azarius Khan, and their cousins carry pieces of his fearless heart and unmatched spirit. An excerpt from Fardeen's long note can be read as:
"Though fate kept you apart, your essence runs through their veins, a bond unspoken but deeply understood. Taken from us too soon, but through them, your legacy endures in ways words cannot capture. Happy Birthday, pa. You live on through us, always."
Once, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Fardeen Khan opened up about his father, Feroz Khan's journey as a producer and filmmaker. The doting son revealed that his father was so passionate about his work that he took loans for making films. However, Fardeen also admitted that due to those hefty loans, his family suffered a severe financial crunch when he was growing up. The actor also added that despite being the son of a superstar, he had lived a very basic life due to the losses his father suffered after his films failed at the box office.
When Fardeen Khan was asked more about the financial crunch, the actor clearly stated that he knew that the family was going through monetary problems, but he had never experienced them. The actor lauded his parents for always doing everything in their power to provide him and his siblings with a better life, lauding both his father, Feroz Khan, and mother, Sundari Khan.
