Farah Khan Ali Remembers Mother Zarine Khan With Emotional Post Three Months After Her Passing
Jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali marked three months since the passing of her mother Zarine Khan with a deeply emotional tribute on social media, reflecting on love, loss and the importance of preserving memories with one’s parents.
Taking to Instagram, Farah shared a throwback video in which her mother is seen wishing her on her birthday. Revealing that she had initially posted the clip as a story, Farah said she later felt it deserved a permanent place on her feed. According to her, the video serves as a reminder of how blessed she was to receive her mother’s love and as a message urging people to cherish moments with their parents through photos and videos.
In her heartfelt note, Farah described Zarine as her “beautiful mamma” and spoke about the emotional comfort the rediscovered video brought her. She wrote about feeling both happiness at being loved so deeply and sadness at not being able to express her gratitude in person. Farah also mentioned that she feels her mother continues to send her “signs,” for which she remains grateful, and expressed hope that she will find her mother’s strength with time.
Zarine Khan passed away in November 2025 at the age of 81 after battling age-related ailments. She breathed her last at her residence in Mumbai. She is survived by her husband, veteran actor Sanjay Khan, and their children Sussanne Khan, Simone Arora, Farah Khan Ali and Zayed Khan. Zarine was also the former mother-in-law of actor Hrithik Roshan.
Zarine Khan, née Zarine Katrak, had a brief association with cinema and appeared in films such as Tere Ghar Ke Saamne and Ek Phool Do Mali. Reports suggest that Sanjay and Zarine Khan met at a bus stop and married in 1966, going on to build a close-knit family that remained largely away from the limelight.
