Suparn S Varma said, “He was my mentor. I used to be like his adopted son. A number of times, I asked Fardeen, ‘Why does your father love me a lot?’. Fardeen would all the time smile and never answer that query!”
He added, “Mr Khan gave me a lot love and respect. I used to be literally a brand new kid. He treated me in a way that was unbelievable. He was a father figure and a friend. He would discuss life and filmmaking. He was so keen about all the things that he did. The very best thing about Khan saab was the respect that he gave others. He was called a Casanova, but the way in which he treated a lady, every lady of all ages could be charmed by him as he treated them with respect and reverence.”

He was who he was – in your face. There have been no two sides to him. There was no bullshit. He was essentially the most honest guy living essentially the most truthful life. He was also the last of its kind.”
Suparn S Varma signed off by stating, “He taught me quite a bit and I miss him each day. We now have had essentially the most amazing experiences together, plenty of which I might never discuss (smiles).”
