Natasha Madhwani wanted this name Azarius for one of the boys we lost-Fardeen Khan

father Fardeen Khan on son Azarius’s unique name, his wife’s diffi cult
pregnancies and a long overdue return to Hindi films
Natasha Coutinho (MUMBAI MIRROR; August 15, 2017)
When Fardeen Khan and Natasha Madhwani’s second child, son Azarius, was born on Friday, August 11, the parents’ euphoria was tinged with a sense of relief. “The second time around, we were more confident of our abilities to handle an infant; we weren’t afraid that the child would fall off the changing table. More importantly, our (three-year-old) daughter Diani was with us to welcome our son. She had been preparing for a couple of months for his arrival and had even helped us do up his room. She made the sweetest cards for him and has already given him a nickname, Zazu (the bird from Lion King),” proud papa Fardeen told Mirror from London, adding that Diani is perhaps the most excited in the family about the new arrival. “That made it even more special.”
About his unusual choice of name for his secondborn, Fardeen reveals that it originated from an emotional place. “Natasha had selected this name for one of our boys that we lost to a late miscarriage she had suffered before Diani came along. For us, it was sentimental on a profoundly personal level. Besides, both of us love the name,” Fardeen explains. He admits his his wife of 12 years has had a tough time during her previous pregnancies and he is proud that she is still strong. “Natasha is recovering well but we have had more than our fair share of challenges having children. In the process, I realised that I am married to an amazing and determined person. I’m fortunate to have Natasha as the mother of my children so I chose to make her pregnancy as special as possible with a lot of TLC,” he reveals.
Fardeen may have indefinitely hung up his acting boots but he is making sure to introduce little Diani to Bollywood through his late father, filmmaker-actor Feroz Khan. “Since she never got to meet her dada, I introduced her to him through his songs. We showed tracks from Apradh so she could see her nani (yesteryear actress Mumtaz) and dada. It was hysterical to see Diani flummoxed as she tried to make sense of it all. Until then, she had been used to just cartoons. It was an emotional moment for me. Dad would have loved to meet her, as well as my sister’s son, Zaan, and now, Azarius. When Diani sees his songs, she says ‘That’s my other grandpa, Feroz Khan,’” the actor recounts.
Fardeen’s willingness to talk about his brood is briefly interrupted when asked about an impending comeback to films as actor or producer. Fardeen, who was last seen in the 2010 release, Dulha Mil Gaya, opposite Sushmita Sen, turns elusive and says shortly, “I will keep you all posted.”

Natasha and I have always wanted at least two children-Fardeen Khan

Upala KBR (DNA; May 1, 2017)
Fardeen Khan and his wife Natasha are expecting their second child. The star couple is currently based out of London. Fardeen is back in Mumbai on some work assignments, while Natasha will return to the city with their children after the baby is born in July.
Says the ecstatic dad-to-be, “I am on top of the moon. Natasha is five months pregnant and isn’t travelling with me this time around as it’s so hot in Mumbai and soon, the monsoons will be upon us. She will come after that. I visit India every three or four weeks and spend half that time in Mumbai.”
Sharing his experience of being a father to little Diani, his firstborn, Fardeen says, “To be honest, it’s the most profound chapter of my life and she has brought life full circle. You value everything that is truly important in your life. You are born to your parents. They bring you up and you love and value them. Then you have your own children, you realise what your parents went through, bringing you up and then you try and teach your daughter everything about life just the way your parents taught you.”
Fardeen says becoming a father is the greatest responsibility in life and adds, “If you are not ready for the responsibility, don’t bring life into this world. It is a big, big responsibility to bring life into this world. It’s not a whim or fancy and you have to be truly prepared for it. You have to make sure in whatever capacity you can, you give your child the best opportunities that you can. And more than anything, all they want is your love so you have to give them your time and love. Everything else is secondary.”
Fardeen and Natasha are naturally thrilled about their second baby. “Natasha and I have had our share of challenges and that’s why we have been parked in London and travel back and forth. We are over the moon. It completes our family. We have always wanted at least two children so it completes our family and we are extremely happy! We are happy as a couple, we are happy as a unit and even my little daughter Diani is looking forward to having a sibling. She’s right now in London but the minute we have our second child, we have to come back for Diani’s school year so she will be starting school in Mumbai from June next year. It’s home! Aamchi Mumbai! Living there has just been a temporary thing. We were here more to have our children as we had some medical challenges as a couple. Hopefully, everything will go well, and Diani will be in a Mumbai school by June next year. We have already started applying there. We are just going to be here till she completes her school year in London. The last three years I took a call to be a full-time parent but now I am beginning to miss the movies. I am missing work and I need to get back!”
