Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 2 (ANI): The week started on a nostalgic note for actor Fardeen Khan as he took a stroll down memory lane and recalled working in the film ‘Janasheen’, which also starred veteran star and his late father Feroz Khan.

As per Fardeen, ‘Janasheen’ “was a testament to my father’s unyielding passion for filmmaking.”

“His dedication to every detail, every scene, and every note of music was nothing short of inspiring–not only for me but for everyone who worked alongside him. Beyond storytelling, he taught me about life, resilience, and the courage to follow your dreams with unwavering conviction,” he added.
