Fardeen who was trolled over his weight gain opened up about his body-shaming experience and said in a statement to 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.''''Whatever is deserved, is deserved and what's not is not. I just laugh it all off. I don't read much about myself these days,'' he added. Son of legendary Feroz Khan, Fardeen Khan made a forgettable debut with the 1998 dud Prem Aggan. However, with Ram Gopal Varma's 2000 hit Jungle, Fardeen's career as lead star kick-started. He went on to star in several successful and acclaimed films like Pyar Tune Kya Kiya,Bhoot, Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Dev, No Entry, Heyy Babyy and All The Best. Fardeen was last seen acting in the 2010 dud Dulha Mil Gaya co-starring Sushmita Sen and Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance. It has been more than a decade since we saw him on the big screen.
