In a time when star kids flood timelines with film launches, glossy endorsements, and airport looks, one name is quietly — almost stubbornly — rewriting what it means to be born into Bollywood royalty.

Meet Fateh Randhawa, the 27-year-old grandson of wrestling legend and actor Dara Singh, nephew of powerhouse performer Tabu, grand-nephew of legendary Shabana Azmi and son of yesteryear superstar Farha Naaz. On paper, he’s the perfect poster boy for a grand cinematic debut.

And yet, while the world expected another legacy actor, Fateh chose a path that almost no one saw coming — building a real-life legacy rooted in service, strength, and silent impact.

From Red Carpet to Real Work Fateh Randhawa is the co-founder of FRST Foundation, a social impact initiative aimed at making India safer and more inclusive for blind and disabled individuals — an effort that has already impacted over 3,000 lives, completely free of cost.

And what’s more? He largely bankrolls the initiative himself. With minimal external funding, FRST Foundation is run with transparency and heart — and behind the scenes, it is Fateh’s entrepreneurial efforts that keep it going.

The Man Behind the Movement Those who dig a little deeper will discover a side of Fateh that blends discipline, talent, and rare humility.

He is not just a social worker. He is an Asian champion in Silambam, an ancient Indian martial art that requires extreme control, agility, and strength. A scroll through his Instagram (@fateh.farha — P.S. Mumma’s Boy alert) reveals a disciplined athlete, someone deeply rooted in Indian tradition, but global in ambition.

Instagram: www.instagram.com/fateh.farha Sources confirm that Fateh also trained under the Jackie Chan Stunt Team in China — an experience most action aspirants dream of, but few achieve. With a physique honed for cinema, a jawline fit for the frame, and the skills to pull off his own stunts, he is nothing short of movie-ready.

It’s no surprise, then, that many quietly hope his next chapter might involve the big screen — not just because he looks the part, but because he embodies something the industry desperately needs: authenticity.

Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Outlier Outside of his work with FRST Foundation, Fateh is a young entrepreneur, running ventures through his group of companies under the name FRST, which he founded. These ventures not only reflect his business acumen but also help fund his philanthropic mission — blending profit with purpose.

He’s building infrastructure, employment, and impact — without the flash, without the PR blitz, and without ever asking for credit.

Redefining Legacy It’s tempting to paint Fateh as a rebel — a star kid who rejected the screen. But that would be too simple. What he’s doing isn’t rejection. It’s evolution.

In an industry obsessed with being seen, Fateh is building visibility for those who have never been seen — the blind, the vulnerable, the invisible pedestrians of India.

His co-founded initiative, FRST Foundation (www.frst.foundation), is not just giving out safety gear — it’s creating a language of inclusion through color-coded identification systems for disabilities, emergency-ready reflective designs, and public awareness that saves lives.

And all of this, without ever standing on a stage to claim applause.
