Mumbai, Sep 25 (NationPress) The esteemed actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha commemorated the birth anniversary of the iconic Feroz Khan with a heartfelt tribute on Thursday.

In a nostalgic reflection, Sinha celebrated the late actor-filmmaker’s distinctive charm and enduring influence, reminiscing about his fashionable presence, timeless music, and the captivating cinematic atmosphere he crafted through his films. Via his X account, the Kaala Patthar star posted several vintage photographs of himself alongside Feroz Khan. One candid snapshot captured the two enjoying drinks together, while another black-and-white image depicted them on stage with fellow artists.

Accompanying these treasured images, Shatrughan Sinha expressed, “With love and fondness, I remember an extraordinarily stylish, unmatched actor and filmmaker, the legendary #FerozKhan. He resides in our hearts through his incredible body of work, songs, music, and the unique ambiance crafted by his films. Long live Feroz Khan! #BirthAnniversary.”

Shatrughan Sinha and Feroz Khan collaborated on the film “Kashmakash,” which also featured Rekha, Ranjeet, and Padma Khanna.

Last year, Fardeen Khan honored his father, Feroz Khan, on his birth anniversary with a moving tribute, sharing a reel that vividly depicted the late actor-filmmaker’s journey—from his youthful days to cherished family moments.

In his caption, the No Entry actor wrote, “Fifteen years without you, and though time has passed, your presence is profoundly felt in the lives of those you never met. Your grandchildren, the third generation of Khans, carry fragments of your fearless heart and unmatched spirit. They live with stories of the legend you were—your grace, strength, and timeless charisma. Although fate separated us, your essence flows through their veins, a bond unspoken yet deeply understood. Taken from us too soon, but through them, your legacy persists in ways words cannot capture. Happy Birthday, pa. You live on through us, always. Laila & Fardeen.”
