Fardeen Khan Recounts Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Brutal Critique on His Acting Skills in the 2000s

Fardeen Khan, set to make his OTT comeback with "Heeramandi," revealed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's blunt rejection of his acting during a meeting in the early 2000s. Bhansali, known for films like "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam," told Khan he lacked the necessary intensity for his roles. Although harsh, Khan acknowledged the reality check, later thanking Bhansali for the honest feedback. Returning after a 14-year hiatus, Khan expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with Bhansali on "Heeramandi," considering it enriching. He credits supportive colleagues for making him feel like a newcomer on set and anticipates other upcoming projects slated for release this year.
