🕊️ A Life of Grace and Strength
Before her marriage to Sanjay Khan, Zarine had a promising modeling career but chose to step away from the spotlight to support her husband and family. Reports suggest she made this decision out of love and understanding during a challenging phase in their lives.
Despite leaving her career, Zarine continued to inspire those around her with her charm, poise, and compassionate nature. She remained a central figure in Mumbai’s social circles and was deeply respected by friends and well-wishers alike.

Zarine Khan is survived by her husband Sanjay Khan and their children — Sussanne Khan, Simone Arora, Farah Khan Ali, and Zayed Khan. Her family, friends, and admirers continue to celebrate her legacy of love, kindness, and resilience.
As Farah beautifully expressed, “No one can ever be like you… You will always be with us, Mamma.”
