Fardeen Khan was launched in a home production called "Prem Aggan" by his father. The film bombed big time and with the film, bombed newcomers Fardeen Khan and Meghna Khotari. It took two years after the ill fated film and a director like Ram Gopal Verma to resurrect Fardeen's career with Jungle. The film was a hit and it's success opened new doors for him.

Fardeen Khan was born in India but has a very "in-between" accent because he has studied abroad a lot. A graduate (Business Management Degree) from the University of Massachusetts, USA, Fardeen Khan has a non-Indian accent which clearly comes across on the big screen. He also has very western looks which, in the past has been a negative point for a lot of actors because they can't easily fit into the stereotype, typical Indian male roles.

Fardeen was arrested by the Mumbai police for possession of 9 grams of cocaine, but he has been quick to admit his mistake. Though he reportedly explained to friends that he used cocaine to handle the stress of his up-and-coming film career. Fardeen restrategized and succeeded. With Rajat Mukherjee's dark love story Pyar Tune Kya Kiya, Fardeen has finally arrived. Touted as the nation's next heartthrob, Fardeen has become a hot proposition at the box office.
