In a recent conversation with GQ India, Fardeen Khan was asked his thoughts about his kids becoming actors. To this, the actor noted that his daughter, Diani, and son Azarius are associated with the arts. He mentioned that his 11-year-old daughter strongly associated with it and loves singing, dancing, and performing.
