Zarine Khan, Sussanne Khan's mother, passed away at the age of 81. Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad attended her funeral.
No detailed official reason for Zarine Khan's death has been released. Earlier, News18 mentioned she suffered from age-related ailments. More recently, India Today reported that the former model and actress experienced a sudden cardiac arrest. The Khan family has not yet commented on the matter.
Zarine appeared in films like Tere Ghar Ke Saamne and Ek Phool Do Mali. Later, she transitioned to interior design and co-authored a cookbook, crediting her mother-in-law for inspiring her cooking skills.
Despite Hrithik and Sussanne’s separation, their families remain on good terms. In an interview, Zarine praised Hrithik, calling him a kind person.
"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.
Summary: Zarine Khan passed away at 81, reportedly due to sudden cardiac arrest; she was respected for her kindness and left a mark as an actress and interior designer.
