Fardeen Khan is capturing attention not just for his recent career resurgence but also for his adventurous spirit. The actor recently shared a video of himself bungee jumping in Singapore, an experience he described as both "spiritual and stupid". The video and his candid caption have garnered reactions from fans and fellow celebrities alike, including veteran actress Manisha Koirala.
In the Instagram post, Khan detailed his experience of jumping from 150 feet, noting a sense of calm rather than panic. He wrote, "150 feet in the air. No scream. No panic. Just me… strangely calm. One step, and I was gone—weightless, thoughtless, ageless. And in that fall, I found stillness. No noise, no fear—just a strange, peaceful presence". He further added a touch of humor, questioning his sanity and willingness to repeat the feat: "Was it spiritual? Yes. Was it stupid? Also yes. Am I bonkers? Yes, yes. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat”. He also tagged Mega Adventures Singapore in his post and used hashtags such as #BungeeJumping, #ThrillSeeker, and #LeapOfFaith.
Manisha Koirala was among those who reacted to the video, seemingly impressed by Khan's "strangely calm" demeanor during the daring jump. While the exact nature of her comment isn't specified in the available articles, the overall tone suggests admiration and perhaps a bit of awe.
Khan's bungee jumping adventure comes amidst a period of renewed activity in his career. After a 12-year hiatus, he made a comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix series "Heeramandi," which premiered in May 2024 and received praise for his performance. He also appeared in "Khel Khel Mein," which also premiered in 2024. Additionally, his film "Housefull 5" has recently started streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Despite his recent projects, Khan has not yet announced any upcoming films or shows. While a second season of "Heeramandi" has been confirmed, it remains uncertain whether Khan will be part of the cast.
Earlier in his career, Khan faced challenges after his debut film, "Prem Aggan," didn't perform well. He has spoken about how producers withdrew from projects and the tough love he received from his father, Feroz Khan, who gave him a year to prove himself. Now, after overcoming those initial setbacks and a long break from the industry, Fardeen Khan seems to be embracing new challenges and opportunities, both on and off-screen.
