After his debut film âManzil Manzilâ (1984) alongside Sunny Deol , Dimple Kapadia , and Danny Denzongpa , Firoz did more than 250 films in his career and gave many notable performances, such as âArjun Singh in âKhatron Ke Khiladiâ (1988), âDuryodhanâ in âJigarâ (1992), âRasik Nath Gundaswamyâ in âTirangaaâ (1992), âNaahar Singhâ in âKaran Arjunâ (1995), âBillooâ (Eunuch/Hijra) in âMehndiâ (1998), and âSikh Inspector in Londonâ in âYamla Pagla Deewana 2â (2013).Â
After Mahabharat, his identity changed forever and even today, he is best known by his screen character âArjunâ rather than his real name âFeroz Khan.â He says,
My real name is Firoz Khan, but Arjunâs character has given me such fame that even my mother calls me Arjun back in the home.â check sources Nai Dunia
In an interview, he revealed the story behind getting the role of Arjun in Mahabharat. He said,
I firmly believe in destiny. Basically I was never inclined to do any TV serial. I studied in Oxford and returned to join Taj. But acting always fascinated me. One day I was informed about an ongoing audition for a movie. But unfortunately, I was late and some other actor was finalised. Little disheartened, I was passing by Mr.B.R Chopraâs house. I saw a group of renowned actors and actresses present there. I was very captivated. I met Mr.Gufi Pantel(Who played âShakuniâ in Mahabharata). He told me that audition for Mahabharat was going on and insisted me to go for it. At that moment I had no idea about Mahabharata script. To my surprise, I was handed the dialogues which were in Hindi, the language I was not at all fluent with. So, I first translated the dialogues into English and then I went for the audition. Fortunately, after a week I came to know that I was selected for the role of Arjun.â
When he signed for Mahabharat, he was quite sceptical about portraying Arjun on screen; as he wasnât well-versed in Hindi at that time. While talking about it, he says,
Initially, I had problems learning the dialogues but late Rahi Masoom Raza and Pandit Narendra Sharma (the scriptwriter) helped me a lot to overcome my problem. With time I improved and then everything became simple and more interesting.â
In 2016, he made his digital debut with the web series âI Donât Watch TVâ in which he did a cameo. It was premiered on Arre and YouTube.
His son, Jibraan Khan has worked as a child artist in movies, like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Rishtey (2002), etc.

He loves to play negative roles. While talking about it, he says,
Playing negative character needs a lot of articulations and mannerisms that are different from the stereotype heroes. The villain has got a lot of shades. I feel if the negative is strong the positive will automatically be strong. A perfect balance between the contrasts can be maintained when a negative portrayal is right.â
