Actor Fardeen Khan, who recently made a comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,' recently opened up on not being able to have children which led to taking the IVF route, resulting in his time away from the limelight, a decision he regrets. Fardeen married Natasha in 2005 and are parents to a daughter Diani Isabella Khan and a son Azarius.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Fardeen shared, “We were having challenges having children, and that’s when we decided to take the IVF route. That’s why I needed to take some time off. It wasn’t meant to be this long. I thought only for a few years…get everything settled, but things didn’t happen that way. Then, when my daughter was born, my heart melted, and I thought, let’s spend some time with her. But I was fortunate that I had the luxury to take that time off. It wasn’t deliberate or conscious, but having said that, when I look back, I wish I hadn’t taken such a long break. Definitely a regret on many levels.”
