Feroze Khan denies domestic violence allegations, says he would never harm a woman

Renowned actor Feroze Khan disclosed the reasons behind his brief hiatus from the entertainment industry and what ultimately prompted his return. He also addressed his first marriage with Aliza Sultan, stating that the relationship deteriorated and became toxic over time.

Feroze Khan emphasized that he could never think of raising a hand against women.

“A girl and I were in a relationship, and everyone has their good and bad days. One of our bad days turned very bad. Later, maybe she got scared, and false charges were filed against me. I can swear on anything: I would never pull out a gun on another girl. I would also never appreciate any guys who follow me raising a hand on a woman. All actresses who have worked with me, including Hiba Bukhari, have never complained about my behavior. I urge men to make the women around you feel safe and secure.”

Reflecting on his choices at a recent podcast, Feroze said, “I tasted fame very early in life, and when I look back, I feel grateful for those decisions. They helped me understand that fame and wealth don’t hold real significance for me."

He expressed satisfaction with his career, noting that he has built his reputation and dedicated fanbase through years of effort. He highlighted that the popularity of many of his dramas has contributed to this success.

He asserted that he is not concerned his following will decrease if he chooses to exit social media in the future.

"Even if I delete Instagram today, my career won’t collapse, because people connect with me, not with my social media. This journey made me realise that my profession doesn’t define my worth. I’ve always believed I could do anything, be a tailor, sell clothes, work in merchandising, life isn’t bound to a single path. And if success, power, or popularity are written in my destiny, they will reach me on their own,” the Humraaz actor shared.

He further added that his choices have been intentional and rewarding. “People enjoy my work, my projects consistently perform well, and I’m loved as an actor. From my debut in Chup Raho to hits like Khaani, Ishqiya, and Habs, every project has elevated my career. Now I can act without worrying about ratings; I know my stardom will carry me for years.”

It is worth noting that Feroze had announced his exit from the industry back in 2019 after performing Umrah, influenced deeply by religious inclination. During that period, he also met Maulana Tariq Jamil multiple times. 

In March 2020, he publicly declared that he was leaving showbiz, stating that he wished to dedicate his life to Islamic teachings and would only participate in projects aligned with that vision.

However, he later returned to acting and took on several significant roles, including Habs, a period during which his personal controversy came to light. His earlier announcement, shared on social media in 2020, expressed his intention to step away from mainstream media.

For the past few years, Feroze Khan has consistently remained in the spotlight and garnered public attention, particularly following his separation from his ex-wife, Aliza Sultan Khan.

However, one of the biggest turning points in his career, a move that stunned fans, was his decision to quit showbiz at the height of his popularity, well before any controversy involving his personal life emerged.
