Now, Farooq made his debut in Garm Hawa in 1974 and played Balraj Sahni's son in the film. He was reportedly paid Rs 750 for his role and received the salary only after 20 years! 

In a throwback interview, Farooq said, “He (MS Sathyu) signed a very beautiful contract with me, for ₹750. He paid me that amount in 20 years. Getting the budget for such a film was very difficult in those days. 750 ke lalach me jo 20 saal me chukaye gaye humne garm hawa karli (So I did Garm Hawa for ₹750 which was paid in 20 years) (smiles).”

For the unversed, Farooq was studying to be a lawyer at the time and would often do small roles in films as his passion, which eventually became his full time career.
