Those iconic dance moves, the fashion quotient, good-looks and charm, amazing acting and fabulous actor! When we talk of all these qualities in an actor, veteran actor Feroz Khan gets a prominent mention. Everything from his looks, his dialogue delivery, fashion statement, gravity in his voice was worth watching on the big screen.
On his birthday, let us bring to you some interesting facts about the ‘Arzoo’ actor.
- One of the most sought after actors of 70’s, Feroz Khan became a household name after his first major hit, Arzoo(1965). As per reports, she shifted to Mumbai from Bangalore to try his luck in acting and modeling. He got his first offer in a B-grade thriller and subsequently went on to work in more movies. It was in Arzoo that Feroz got his first big break.
- With such great looks, Feroz always enjoyed attention from women. It was also said that the gorgeous Zeenat Aman too, was in awe of Feroz.
- Feroz always made sure that he attended social gatherings and parties. That is where Feroz found his wife Sundari, a fun-loving socialite. Sundari was already separated from her husband with whom she had a daughter, Sonia.
- Feroz and Sundari were dating for three years when he decided to make her, his forever. Soon after, the couple was blessed with a daughter, Laila and then came Fardeen Khan.
- Things were going fine until Feroz met a beautiful young air-hostess and couldn’t take his eyes off her. Thus began a much-talked about extra-marital affair with a much younger woman, Jyotika Dhanrajgir.
- Even after he moved in with Jyotika, Feroz never shied away from the responsibility of being a good father. He would come down to Mumbai to visit his children and wife. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Jyotika to deal with Feroz’s fickle-mindedness, which led to their split after years of staying together.
- Soon after his break-up with the air-hostess, Feroz returned to his house and settled in his with family. But as they say, once a mirror is cracked it can never be the same again. And no matter how much they tried, things were never the same between the ‘once in love’ couple. They continued to live under the same roof but different floors. Feroz and Sundari were separated in 1985.
