Marrying Manoj Prabhakar

Farheen chose to leave acting at the height of her career to marry Indian cricketer Manoj Prabhakar. Growing up in a broken family, Farheen was determined to have a successful marriage, which she cited as the main reason for her departure from the film industry to focus entirely on her family.  She relocated to Delhi after marriage. The couple has two sons, Raahil and Manavansh. 

In the interview, Farheen shared, “I never thought about settling down so quickly by getting married. However, once I was married, children and family became my priority.” She admitted that if she had stayed in Mumbai, she might have remained active in the glamour world. 

Farheen's business venture

After moving to Delhi, Farheen channeled her creativity into a successful business venture - Naturence Herbals, an organic skincare line. She is currently the director of the company. Farheen and Prabhakar also own a homestay in Nainital named Celebrity Crest which is a luxury villa. 

Farheen is quite active on Instagram and regularly posts videos and photos with her followers.
