Zarine Khan, mother of Sussanne Khan and Zayed Khan, passed away on Friday at her Mumbai residence after battling age-related health issues. Her funeral and last rites were held the same day in Mumbai.
Zayed Khan was deeply emotional while performing the last rites, carrying a clay pot under the guidance of a pandit ji, following Hindu customs.
"He was seen carrying a clay pot in his right hand, as a pandit ji guided him."
Many netizens questioned why Zarine Khan's last rites followed Hindu traditions. Zarine was born a Hindu, with the maiden name ‘Katrak’ before marrying Sanjay Khan, which is why her family observed Hindu rites.
Family members and close friends gathered to pay their respects. Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad were among those who offered their condolences. Bobby Deol was also seen outside Sanjay Khan’s Mumbai residence.
