The grief was palpable as the Khan family, led by veteran actor Sanjay Khan and his son Zayed Khan, conducted the ‘asthi visarjan’ for Zarine Khan. Zarine Khan, Sanjay’s beloved wife, passed away on November 7 at the age of 81 due to age-related complications. Sanjay Khan shared a moving video online depicting the family immersing Zarine’s ashes in a river, marking a final farewell. The clip powerfully captured Zayed Khan’s raw grief as he was seen breaking down in tears, unable to contain his sorrow. Sanjay Khan, too, was visibly emotional, walking alongside his son during the sacred ritual. The video montage that accompanied the ceremony included intimate and previously unseen photographs of Sanjay and Zarine, charting their lifelong bond and family moments, set to the evocative tune of ‘Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai’. Zarine Khan’s cremation, performed according to Hindu rites, had earlier drawn criticism from her daughter Farah Khan Ali regarding public insensitivity.
