Mumbai: Actor Fardeen Khan had taken a hiatus from acting after a string of flops at the box-office and his troubles with drug abuse.
Post this, Fardeen had also distanced himself from media and paparazzi.
However, now rumors are doing the rounds that after a long break, the actor is all geared up to make a comeback in Bollywood.
According to a report in ETimes, Fardeen was snapped outside casting director Mukesh Chabbra’s office.
The actor looked fit and fabulous, while he posed for the shutterbugs.
Confirming the news of Fardeen’s comeback, Mukesh said, “We are exploring opportunities. He is back! Looking good.”
In 2016, the actor was body-shamed and trolled for gaining weight after photos of a plump Fardeen started doing the rounds on social media.
Talking about it, Fardeen had told IANS, “I have been bashed unnecessarily. I think we need to get over these damn things. I really don’t care about it. I am what I am and I can see myself in the mirror.”
In the past, Fardeen had also admitted to being a drug addict. In 2001, the actor was arrested with cocaine and had to fight a long legal battle to get out of it.
“Any mind-altering substance whether it’s narcotics or alcohol or prescription pills creates a lethal dependency. Before you know it you’re sucked into a downward spiral. The idea of any addiction is very damaging. People have all kinds of weird addiction, even shopping. My only addiction (now) is the love of my family. They’re my life-supporting system. Please educate yourself vis-a-vis the consequences of whatever you are experimenting with. Addiction is not cool,” he had told TOI.
