Zarine Khan, Wife of Veteran Actor Sanjay Khan, Passes Away at 81; Bollywood Mourns the Loss of a Graceful Icon
Zarine Khan, Wife of Veteran Actor Sanjay Khan, Passes Away at 81: Zarine Khan, the wife of veteran actor and filmmaker Sanjay Khan, passed away on Friday morning at her Mumbai residence. She was 81. According to family sources, Zarine had been battling age-related ailments for some time. Her demise has left the Khan family and the entire Bollywood fraternity in deep sorrow.
Zarine is survived by her husband, Sanjay Khan, and their four children — daughters Sussanne Khan, Simone Arora, Farah Ali Khan, and son Zayed Khan. Each of them has carved a name in their own fields — from interior design to film and fashion. Sussanne, notably, was formerly married to Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, while Zayed has made a mark as an actor.
Once a familiar face in Indian cinema, Zarine briefly pursued acting and appeared in films like Tere Ghar Ke Samne and Ek Phool Do Mali. However, she later stepped away from the spotlight to focus on her family and her passion for interior design, where she earned great respect as a creative force.
Zarine’s love story with Sanjay Khan remains one of Bollywood’s most cherished tales. The two first met at a bus stop, where sparks flew instantly. Their romance blossomed, leading to marriage in 1966. The couple’s enduring bond of nearly six decades stood as a testament to love, resilience, and companionship in an industry known for its fleeting relationships.
Sanjay Khan, now 84, is remembered for his notable work in films and television, including his last acting role in Aakarshan (1988) and directing the historical TV series 1857 Kranti (2003).
As the family mourns the loss of its matriarch, condolences have begun to pour in from across the film fraternity. Zarine Khan will be remembered not only for her elegance and grace but also for her strength, creativity, and unwavering support for her family through every phase of life.
