Yesterday
(April
27)
was
Feroz
Khan's
first
death
anniversary
and
Fardeen
Khan
took
his
entire
family
and
the
staff
of
his
production
office
in
Mumbai
to
Bangalore
to
offer
special
prayers
and
offer
food
to
the
poor
in
honour
of
his
dad's
memory.
Made
more
sense...
A
source
close
to
the
actor
reveals,
"It
was
Fardeen's
idea
to
take
his
whole
family
to
Bangalore,
a
city
Ferozsaab
loved.
He
spent
many
years
of
his
life
there,
so
it
made
more
sense
to
pay
respects
to
his
memory
there,
in
stead
of
Mumbai."
Intimate
gathering
The
entire
Khan
clan
-
Fardeen
and
wife
Natasha,
mother
Sundari,
sister
Laila
with
her
newly-wedded
husband,
his
dad's
entire
Mumbai
staff
including
his
business
manager
RK
Tiwari
all
gathered
at
Feroz's
farm
in
the
garden
city.
The
insider
adds,
"It
was
an
intimate
gathering
of
family
and
close
friends
and
people
who
were
closely
associated
with
Ferozsaab
over
the
years."
There
was
a
Quran
recital
in
the
morning
followed
by
the
feeding
of
the
poor.
"In
the
afternoon,
poor
people
were
again
fed
and
blankets
and
clothes
given
to
them
near
the
masjid
at
Ferozsaab's
home
while
Fardeen
and
the
family
and
their
staff
visited
Ferozsaab's
grave
at
the
Shia
kabristan
near
Johnson
market
in
Bangalore
to
offer
their
prayers
around
4.30
pm." The
day
ended
with
another
Quran
reading
in
the
evening,
followed
by
a
quiet
family
dinner."
A
friend
of
the
family
is
full
of
praise
for
the
Khan
lad,
"It's
almost
as
if
Fardeen
has
grown
up
overnight
in
the
last
year
and
assumed
his
dad's
responsibilities
with
great
ease.
He
took
charge
and
ensured
that
the
ceremony
was
carried
out
with
great
dignity.
While
Fardeen
will
stay
back
in
Bangalore
for
a
few
days,
the
rest
of
the
family
and
staff
members
return
today."
Last
month,
Feroz's
daughter
Laila
married
Farhan
Furniture-wala.
In
his
father's
absence,
the
older
brother
ensured
that
everything
went
off
smoothly.
Impressed
by
the
manner
in
which
her
brother
took
over
the
wedding
arrangements,
the
bride
told
us
at
the
time,
"My
brother
has
filled
my
father's
shoes.
He
gave
his
full
heart
to
me.
We
are
there
for
each
other
always."
