Actor Fardeen Khan recently found himself at the centre of social media chatter after he was spotted at an event in Mumbai with a woman dressed in black. The video quickly caught everyone’s attention, with several social media users assuming she was his wife, Natasha Madhvani. However, putting the speculation to rest, Fardeen has now clarified that the woman accompanying him was not his wife.
Fardeen Khan clarifies
Fardeen gave a clarification and set the record straight when he attended another event in Mumbai. He expressed his views when he was leaving the HELLO! Hall of Fame event, held in Mumbai recently.
In the clip, the actor is seen immediately correcting photographers, clarifying that the woman with him is not his wife but his sister, Laila Khan. He also addressed the confusion seen in multiple paparazzi videos, noting that many had incorrectly identified her.
In the video, Fardeen can be heard saying, “Yeh meri behen hai, biwi nahi hai. Bahut saare handles mein aap log yahi likhte hai ke yeh meri biwi hai (She is my sister, not my wife. On many handles, you people keep writing that she is my wife).” Later, Fardeen’s sister is seen laughing at the remark, and saying, “It was much needed.”
This comes amid reports that Fardeen has hit a rough patch with his wife. Laila Khan is Fardeen’s sister and the daughter of the late actor Feroz Khan. She is married to businessman Farhan Furniturewala and largely stays away from the limelight.
