Fardeen Khan has been making the headlines for his shocking body transformation. The actor recently also revealed that he is planning to make a comeback to films after a decade of being away from the screen. More reports of his comeback surfaced last week, after Fardeen Khan was spotted outside the office of casting director Mukesh Chhabra.
Fardeen during an interaction said that he is looking forward to making a comeback and has no qualms about auditioning. He believes it is all part of the process of securing 'meaty' roles. He told Times of India, "In our profession, a lot of importance is given to how you look. You are expected to look your best at all times. When I was trolled for my weight, I wasn't actively part of the film industry. I had been away for years, so I was surprised at the degree and intensity of the reactions. That was my introduction to being trolled on social media, the new age that we live in."

When I posted my response, I saw people identifying with that as well." Fardeen, who looked lightly overweight in the picture, was seen out and about in the city donning a casual attire
