  • Fardeen Khan and Natasha Madhvani split in 2023 after 18 years.
  • Mumtaz suggests Fardeen's father's death impacted their marriage.

Actor Fardeen Khan and Mumtaz’s daughter Natasha Madhvani parted ways in 2023. Despite the split, they have maintained an amicable relationship and co-parent their kids.

Veteran actress Mumtaz has now spoken about the potential reason behind Fardeen and Natasha’s split.

During a recent appearance on Sitaron Ka Safar, Mumtaz revealed that Fardeen was hugely impacted by the death of his father, Feroz Khan, which may have been the cause of their split.

The veteran actress said, “What happened was that when Feroz passed away, he was very attached to his father. So I don’t really know what happened at that time. Natasha shifted to London for the children’s education. After that, I’m not sure what misunderstandings arose between them. But that’s when some problems began.”

She further added, “What else can I say? And what can I even say, they are grown-ups themselves now, and are the parents of the children.”

Mumtaz showered praise on Fardeen for being a dedicated father and noted, “Fardeen is a very good, sweet guy. Even today, he goes to London to meet the children. Natasha was unwell, and he went ten times to check on her. I never expected that men these days would do so, but he looked after everything.”
