Mumbai, April 25 (IANS) As his mother turned a-year-older, actor Fardeen Khan expressed his deep admiration for his mother’s strength, resilience, and creative journey. He credits her as his greatest inspiration, teacher and the source of all the goodness in him.
Fardeen took to Instagram, where he shared an adorable picture featuring him, his mother and sister Laila.
He wrote: “Ma, Laila and I just want to say how incredibly proud we are of you — for never giving up on your passion, and for continuing to create and grow on your own terms. Watching you build your clothesline, and now getting ready for your exhibition, fills us with so much pride and joy.”
Fardeen said he will never forget his mother’s “beginnings.”
“How life forced you to start from scratch. I was there. I saw it all — the quiet courage and dignity with which you reclaimed your worth and your voice. Your journey has been my greatest teacher. From you, I’ve learned what love really means — deep, forgiving, and unwavering.”
He added: “And I’ve seen the strength it takes to forgive, to heal, and to rise again with grace. You are my strength, my constant, and my truest inspiration. If there’s anything good in me, Ma, it’s because of you. With all my heart, Fardeen.”
