In
2016,
when
Fardeen
Khan's
pictures
had
gone
viral,
he
was
trolled
mercilessly
for
putting
on
weight.
Cut
to
present,
he
was
recently
snapped
by
paparazzi
and
looked
as
fit
as
a
fiddle.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
Fardeen
spoke
about
his
drastic
transformation
and
revealed
that
he
has
lost
good
18
kilos.
He
said,
"I
had
stepped
back
then.
I
was
happy.
It
was
this
year
that
I
wasn't
feeling
25
anymore.
I
wanted
to
physically
feel
25.
As
you
grow
older,
body
degeneration
catches
up
with
you.
I
wanted
to
feel
very,
very
good
again.
You
need
to
think
about
it
as
a
body-mind
connection.
I
came
across
this
in
some
reading
I
was
doing.
I
started
eating
right
and
healthy,
coupled
it
with
correct
workouts."
"I
have
lost
18
kg
in
the
last
six
months,
but
35
per
cent
journey
is
yet
to
go
in
this
aspect.
In
the
work
that
we
do
in
our
industry,
you
are
expected
to
look
your
best
and
you
indeed
want
to
look
your
best," added
the
Fida
actor.
Fardeen
also
asserted
that
mentally,
he's
feeling
30,
but
his
target
is
25.
Fardeen,
who
made
his
Bollywood
debut
in
1998
with
Prem
Aggan,
has
done
many
films
in
the
last
two
decades.
Unfortunately,
the
actor
was
away
from
the
screen
from
the
last
few
years.
Now
that
the
actor
is
all
set
to
make
his
comeback
in
Bollywood,
Fardeen
recalled
his
father's
advice
and
said
that
he
offered
a
lot
of
wisdom
to
him.
"Dad
was
so
authentic,
so
true
to
himself.
He
offered
a
lot
of
wisdom
to
me
but
if
you
ask
me
one
for
now,
it's
that-
'If
you
want
to
live
a
purposeful
life,
give
it
your
best'.
That's
going
to
be
at
the
back
of
my
mind
now," said
Khan.
