Zarine Khan, mother of Sussanne Khan, passed away at the age of 81. Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad attended her funeral. The family has not revealed detailed information about the cause of her death.
Earlier reports by News18 mentioned Zarine was suffering from age-related ailments. More recently, India Today reported that she died due to a sudden cardiac arrest. The Khan family has yet to comment on this clarification.
Zarine was an actress and model, known for movies like Tere Ghar Ke Saamne and Ek Phool Do Mali. Later, she pursued interior design and co-authored a cookbook, crediting her mother-in-law for her cooking skills.
Despite Hrithik and Sussanne Khan's separation, they maintained a cordial relationship. Zarine spoke highly of Hrithik during an interview, praising his character and kind nature.
"I think he is in the wrong profession. He would have made a great spiritual leader. He never holds a grudge, never gets angry. Only extreme injustice against someone can make him really angry. Otherwise he just lets things go, even if someone wrongs him, or does something that upsets him."
Zarine Khan married Sanjay Khan in 1996.
