Feroze Khan, a household name in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, is no stranger to massive fame and deep controversy. With major hits like Khaani, Aye Musht-e-Khaak, and the ongoing Akhara, he carved a loyal fanbase that stands strong through thick and thin. However, the actor has been under intense public scrutiny following his high-profile divorce from Syeda Aliza Sultan. Allegations of domestic abuse emerged, leading to widespread criticism, boycotts from industry peers, and a legal battle that caught national attention.
Despite the storm, Feroze Khan has held his ground and is now speaking up against those who turned their backs on him during his toughest time. In a recent interview with director Yasir Nawaz, the actor opened up with clarity, conviction, and a firm belief in his faith.
Faith Over Fame: Feroze Khan’s Reflection on the Controversy
When asked about how the public backlash and professional boycott affected him, Feroze Khan remained composed. Rather than focusing on the negativity, he emphasized the lessons learned from his personal challenges. According to him, this phase strengthened his faith in God.
“Allah is the one who feeds us. If He is on your side, you will never starve,” Feroze said. This spiritual outlook has helped him stay grounded, keeping his focus intact despite the chaos that surrounded him.
He explained how he has chosen to see this difficult time as a divine filter — one that removed people who, according to him, were never genuine. He added that some colleagues appeared supportive in person but later spoke harshly behind his back. In his view, it’s better to walk away from such double standards.
Industry Fallout: Feroze’s Response to Co-Stars Who Walked Away
Among those who distanced themselves from Feroze during the controversy were notable names like Iqra Aziz, Aiman Khan, Minal Khan, Ushna Shah, and Mariyam Nafees. Iqra Aziz, who was initially cast alongside him in Sanwal Yaar Piya, chose to exit the project after the allegations surfaced. She was later replaced by Durefishan Saleem, while Feroze retained his lead role.
In the interview, Feroze made it clear he has no regrets about who stayed or left. Speaking firmly, he stated that he no longer wants to work with individuals who showed one face publicly and another in private. “I am glad those people left. I don’t want toxic energy around me,” he said.
Positivity as Power: Feroze on Mental Strength and Growth
Yasir Nawaz also touched on the mental toll such public scrutiny might take. Feroze’s answer was calm yet powerful. “I don’t let negativity live inside me. That’s why I have abs,” he joked, highlighting how his mindset directly impacts his lifestyle. According to him, maintaining his physical and mental health is part of staying positive and resilient.
He sees his body as a “temple” and refuses to let anger, resentment, or public judgment affect his inner peace. This belief has allowed him to move forward and rebuild on his own terms.
Feroze Khan’s Road Ahead
While many questioned if Feroze’s career would survive the backlash, his continued presence in dramas like Akhara and Sanwal Yaar Piya speaks volumes. Whether you support him or not, his return to the screen proves his enduring star power.
The actor’s recent statements make it clear that he has drawn a line — one that separates the supportive from the superficial. As he moves ahead, Feroze Khan seems focused on keeping his circle clean, his faith strong, and his path positive.
