Every day, hundreds and thousands of people reach Mumbai, the city of dreams, to try their luck in Bollywood. While many of them are unable to earn a name even after years of struggle, some get lucky instantly. On the other hand, there are some names in the industry who, despite getting success, suddenly distanced themselves from the film world. Super hit actress Farheen, who made a mark in the film world with the film ‘Jaan Tere Naam’, is also one of these names. Farheen became famous overnight with the song ‘First Time Dekha Tumhein’ from this film and made a lot of headlines. But, then, despite being at the peak of her career, Farheen suddenly disappeared from the big screen.
Jaan Tere Naam became a star overnight
Farheen stayed away from the big screen for almost 24 years. After Jaan Tere Naam, Farheen also worked with Akshay Kumar in Sainik. In the film, Farheen stabbed everyone’s heart with her sharp features. After this, she also appeared in films like Fauj, Dil Ki Baazi, Amaan, Saajan, Tahqeeqat and Aag Ka Toofan, but these films could not do anything special at the box office.
Got the tag of Madhuri Dixit’s duplicate
Not only this, Farheen’s looks were also compared to Madhuri Dixit, one of the leading actresses of that era. She was also given the tag of Madhuri’s duplicate. Everyone was impressed by her laughter and bubbly style. Farheen sometimes played the role of Akshay Kumar’s heroine and sometimes his sister in films. In an interview, she revealed that she was offered Shilpa Shetty’s role in the blockbuster Baazigar, but she refused to do this role.
Left Baazigar for Kamal Haasan’s film
Actually, during this time, Farheen was offered a film ‘Kaaliganan’ with Kamal Haasan. The dates of this film and Baazigar were clashing, due to which she said no to Baazigar. Despite becoming a super hit actress in Bollywood in the 90s, Farheen suddenly disappeared from the film world, the reason for which was her love life. In those days, she was dating cricketer Manoj Prabhakar and she distanced herself from her brilliant career to marry Manoj.
left the industry for her husband
Talking about the love story of Farheen and Manoj, initially their relationship started with friendship. But, later their friendship turned into love and then both got married. Farheen chose her love and family over her career and left the world of showbiz to support Manoj, because Manoj was surrounded by many controversies in those days. On the other hand, when Manoj met Farheen, he was married, but after falling in love with Farheen, he left his first wife Sandhya and son Rohan and married the actress. Sandhya had also accused Manoj of living in a live-in relationship with Farheen and exploiting her before his second marriage.
