Feroz Khan
(25 Sep 1939 – 27 Apr 2009)
It wasn’t a coincidence that his name started with the letter F.
F in his life stood for many things.
F stood for films, which was his life’s passion.
F stood for flamboyance that he exuded when he dressed like a cowboy wearing the Fifth Avenue stuff.
F stood for fantasies he lived, and the fun he had doing it.
And finally, F also stood for his farm—the thing dearest to his heart—where he chose to spend his last moments.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.

ReplyDeleteA very well written tribute Mr Gosavi. I suggest you do a special article on this colourful personality for whom horses and racing was a passion. May the Almighty grant his soul eternal peace.
ReplyDeleteA giant of a man. Had his own mind and never minced words. Was disillusioned with the way RWITC was run. God bless his soul.
