Talking of the pressure, he revealed, "I had a director who was just not my father, but also an iconic actor. So you're just worried about not getting it wrong. You bury the pressure and put it away, especially in cases like mine whose father is so iconic in so many ways. If you think about that, you're finished. You just try and be honest to yourself and the written word on the script. And you try not to mess it up.

He also opened up on how Firoz Khan reacted to the failure, saying, "He said, 'We tried, we failed.' I'm putting a roof over your head. I'll pay you an X amount of money every month. After that, you're on your own.' It was a beautiful call. He said I've sent you to one of the best universities of the world. I hope you're prepared to deal with life. This is how life is."

The star father also told Fardeen how he lost his father when he was just 13, and he had a family of five brothers and a sister to look after. "He said, 'I had a vision, I did it. Now, let's see what you're made of.' It was as simple as that. It was really what I had to hear at that time. His love was tough! That just speaks to the kind of guy he was," Fardeen recalls.
