Fardeen Khan On Being Body Shamed Before Heeramandi Comeback: "Traumatic"

Fardeen Khan revealed that singer Adnan Sami extended a helping hand during that phase

Fardeen Khan's comeback in Heeramandi after fourteen years is nothing less than a treat for his fans. The actor won many hearts with his performance as Wali Mohammad in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali show. Before his comeback and massive physical transformation, Fardeen Khan was body-shamed for his looks. Now, in an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Fardeen Khan broke his silence on being body-shamed. Calling it “traumatic”, the actor said it was a “rude shock”. He said, “To be honest, I was completely disconnected. I don't remember exactly when this happened. But I know it was post 2014-2015 I think, I am not sure. I have been away for over four-five years, in my mind, I was not actively involved in the industry at all. So, I was surprised that I even got that attention to begin with. To put it mildly, it was a rude shock, of course, it is traumatic that people can feel better about themselves (by) putting somebody else down.”
