EXCLUSIVE: Fardeen Khan- “Natasha and I lost our twins in the sixth month of pregnancy”

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Fardeen spoke in detail about his absence from the movies and why he shifted to London with his wife Natasha. The actor also revealed why he did not return to the screens in 2013 after the birth of his daughter. "After my father passed, I needed some time off. I went through a tough time. I had a little bit of a health scare myself in 2009, just a few months after my father passed. Then we were very keen to have a family, Natasha and me. We had challenges in having children, so we had to go the IVF route. We had a bad experience with doctors here in Mumbai. Natasha really suffered because IVF is not easy. It's very hard on your body and on your health," he shared.

Fardeen further spoke about shifting to London and the difficulties they went through in welcoming their first child. "In 2011 we made a shift to London. We found a really nice doctor there who is considered to be the best in this field. With Natasha, in one of her initial pregnancies, we had twins. She lost them at six months. That was very hard for us. It was a tough time. She did a live birth and we lost the babies. Then eventually we had my daughter. She gave us a lot of joy. When you go through an experience like that, when you see your child, you cherish life a lot more and you see it very deeply. You appreciate it so much more. When my daughter was born she melted me. So it was just being daddy," he said.

"We wanted two children to complete our family. Then we tried to have another child, but I was keen on having a son. I was hoping it to be a son. I would have been happy with anything. I thought like me and my sister, a girl and boy match is perfect. So, I was hoping to have a boy. It turned out perfectly well and that took a couple of years," he added.

Fardeen said that he had done an ad campaign in 2013 and was planning on returning to the screen after Dulha Mil Gaya. However, after seeing his daughter he decided to stay with her.
