Feroz Khan hunted 14 leopards/ tigers back when he was young. Narrowly almost getting a panther to his collection. He would then stuff them and have them displayed in his bar. Years later he regretted hunting animals and said he mellowed with age . Though he still hunted wild boars.
Feroz Khan preferred to shoot his films outside of Bombay. This was due to Feroz wanting complete concentration and commitment from his cast and crew . He would want them so solely shoot for only his film during that duration. Feroz would have long duration in between his films due to only wanting to work with scripts that excited him. He mentioned he could have easily done many films after Qurbani and Janbaaz but only wanted to work in films that would satisfy him.
Feroz Khan threw the most grandest and best parties in town. There never needed to be a occasion for FK to have a bash at his place with booze, music, beautiful women and brawls.Years later he regretted it saying it was a waste pf tine and it meant nothing. Feroz became more a private person years later.
When questioned why Feroz Khan did less films, Feroz had a simple answer . If he had to project himself, he would do more films. If he was chasing money, he would do more films. His source of income came from various other sources. Various business ventures such as real estate, horse racing, investments in various business's in the middle east .Feroz reasoned he was satisfied with the very little films he did.
Feroz had a passion for horses. He loved watching films, particularly the westerns and cowboy films and fantasized about becoming an actor. He never shared his secret with anyone because his was a traditional family and cinema was not a part of their dad's world. He knew he would have never approved of it because his dad had dreams of making Feroz a barrister and he dare not let him down.
Out of Feroz Khan;'s siblings , three pursued academics. Shahrukh took up MBA, Sameer went for engineering and Dilshad, his only sister, enrolled into Sophia College. The school dropouts - brothers Sanjay, Akbar and Feroz had no option but to join films.
In Feroz's 40-plus career, he did some 60 odd films - most of them insignificant, but were happy experiences. But roles stopped coming his way once he turned filmmaker. This was another mystery of the film fraternity - if you divert into another field, it is assumed you are no more interested in what you were doing. This always frustrated Feroz.
Feroz's growing up years, we were not affluent, but there were no deprivations in their modest home in Hyderabad. His father served the Nizam's government and all the children were enrolled in an English medium school.
Sanjay Khan was by far the luckiest in his career. His career progressed rapidly while Feroz dragged feet. People said IFeroz was good looking, but somehow no great roles ever came his way and certainly not from the big banners. Yes, he was luckier in launching his production house and made his debut as a director much before my brothers, but eventually all of them were proud owners of our individual banners.
Feroz Khan's eldest sister was married and settled in Bombay. Her name is Khurshid Shahnavar. Her husband Mr. Shahnavar has passed away. She is older than Feroz Khan. When Feroz's father passed away, Feroz was 14 years old. Khurshid was already married and gone to Bombay.
Family friends with Manju Nath Hegde.
Feroz Khan was signed as the Pathan truck driver in Prem Kahani. When Vinod Khanna heard of this he requested Feroz to step out of the role so he could do it. Vinod had a close relationship with Raj Khosla and wanted to work with him very badly. Feroz agreed and left the film.
When Feroz Khan passed away, his brother Akbar Khan stated in a interview that when Feroz was born his father named him "Zulfikar Ali Shah Khan". His mother would call him "Shah" out of love. The name "Feroz Khan" would end up becoming his identity. Akbar also mentioned the Khan brothers had two sisters .

After Qurbani Feroz acquired a plot in Banglore. There he built his farm house. On the farm he grew Avacado, Banana's, Chikoo, Coconut's, Papaya and vegetables. None was grown for profit.
