Remember Feroz Khan, who played ‘Arjun' in B.R Chopra's Mahabharat, quit acting, changed his name to…, now works as a…, his son is…
Remember Feroz Khan, who played 'Arjun' in B.R Chopra's Mahabharat, quit acting, changed his name to..., now works as a..., his son is... In the glamorous world of acting, many roles often come, entertain us, and are remembered briefly, but as soon as they end, they also vanish from our memory quickly. However, there are very few characters that actually stay relevant for years to come. Such iconic characters are attributed by actors with impeccable performance that breathes such life into the character that often blurs the line between reel and real. It's almost as if its the actor's second skin. One such example of this is Firoz Khan, an impeccable actor who had dreams, talent, and commitment. Just like every other actor, he also came to Mumbai, in the world of showbiz, with a suitcase full of dreams. What set him apart from everyone else was his destiny of getting a powerful role in the Mahabharata, which not only proved him as a star but also gave him an identity. Firoz Khan became synonymous with the name Arjun, not just off-screen but also on-screen, as he legally changed his name, not for attention, but that's just how the world saw him now. Now, people didn't know him as Firoz, to them he was Arjun, somebody who was courageous and unforgettable. He became one with his role, and that role became his forever identity. But besides his infamous role of Arjun in Mahabharata. He has also proved himself as a versatile actor by playing negative roles in the 90's. Since the show Mahabharata, which was telecast on Doordarshan, had a strong star cast later, many producers have tried to recreate the Hindu epic Mahabharata on the small screen, but no one has been able to match the one created by BR Chopra and his son Ravi. Even today, their characters are recognised by the character they played rather than their real name, whether it is Lord Shri Ram or Sita Mata, Hanuman, Krishna, or Pandavas; those who played their role are still considered equal to God. Besides Firoz's professional life, he lives a grounded and simple life with his wife, Kashmira. The duo has two daughters and one son. His son, Jibran Khan, is also an actor and is best known for his role as Shah Rukh Khan's son in 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. Last year, Jibran also made his official debut in Ishq Vishk Rebound Firoz Khan's tale is not just about his acting, it also speaks about the passion and determination he had put into his character that today that has become his identity.

Jaipur blast plot: NIA & Raj cops bring Firoz to Ratlam
Indore: National Investigation Agency's (NIA) most wanted fugitive, Firoz Khan — who was arrested last month in the Jaipur serial blast conspiracy — was brought back to hometown Ratlam from Bhopal central jail early Friday morning. A team of 20-22 NIA officers and Rajasthan police took Firoz, 48, to his residence in Ratlam and a farmhouse on Julwania Road, alleged to be the site where the conspiracy for the Jaipur serial blasts was planned. The farmhouse is owned by Imran, the alleged mastermind already in custody, and it was earlier searched by NIA. "The NIA team had come to recreate the scene and carry out investigations. We provided them with the necessary force in the city," said Ratlam SP Amit Kumar. Firiz was transported the 300km from Bhopal to Ratlam under heavy security, with his face completely covered by a black cloth. He was questioned at Station Road police station, which was heavily guarded and off-limits to civilians for the period. After the questioning, the team left for Jaipur with Firoz around 12:30pm. Ratlam police arrested Firoz from his sister's house on April 2 when he had slipped into the city to celebrate Eid. He is alleged to be the treasurer of extremist group Al-Sufa. NIA had announced a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh for his capture, and most-wanted posters were pasted across the city. The case dates to March 30, 2022, when Rajasthan Police intercepted a suspicious vehicle at Nimbahera. The search led to the arrest of three Ratlam residents — Zubair Pathan, Saifullah alias Saif Khan, and Altamash. The vehicle contained explosive materials, timers, batteries, and wires, which were intended for making bombs. The arrested suspects were affiliated with Al-Sufa, a terror outfit, and conspired with eight other members — Ameen Fawda, Ameen Haji, Mazhar alias Chotu, Imran Pathan, Yunus Saki, Imran Matka, Aqib from Maharashtra, and Feroz alias Sabzi — to execute serial blasts in Jaipur, say police. Nimbahera police registered a case under Explosive Substances Act and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). NIA took over investigation and arrested 10 of the accused but Firoz, one of the five founding members of Al-Sufa, managed to evade capture until last month. A resident of Anand Colony, Ratlam, Firoz had a prior criminal record, with an FIR registered against him in 2014 for criminal intimidation, unlawful assembly, and rioting.
