"42 years since the release of #Qurbani. In FK’s own words, “Son, I had gambled my last shirt making this film. If it hadn’t worked we would’ve been on the street’s”. People 2day aren’t aware of what it took to make a film back then. Literally blood, sweat and tears."

Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Fardeen Khan had opened up about his absence from the movies and had revealed why he had shifted to London with his wife, Natasha. Fardeen had shared that he had gone through a tough phase after the death of his father, Feroz Khan, due to lung cancer in 2009. Sharing that he had given up on films because he was struggling in his personal life, Fardeen had said:

"After my father passed, I needed some time off. I went through a tough time. I had a little bit of a health scare myself in 2009, just a few months after my father passed. Then we were very keen to have a family, Natasha and me. We had challenges in having children, so we had to go the IVF route. We had a bad experience with doctors here in Mumbai. Natasha really suffered because IVF is not easy. It's very hard on your body and on your health."

He had said:

"When I was in the university, I used to be on a very tight budget. And father never supported me with money. So I had 100 dollars a week. Pretty much blew it all up in the first couple of weeks and the last couple of weeks, I was flat broke. I had to make some money so worked for a few days." 

On the work front, Fardeen Khan is all set to make his comeback in Bollywood with the horror drama, Visfot.
