Sussanne Khan's mother, Zarine Khan, passed away at the age of 81. Zarine had been battling age-related ailments for some time and died suddenly of a heart attack. Footage of her funeral went viral on social media, showing her children in tears. Son Zayed Khan performed his mother's last rites according to Hindu rituals, as Zarine was a Hindu. In 1966, Zarine, a Parsi (Zoroastrian), married actor and filmmaker Sanjay Khan. Zarine was also a famous model of the 1960s. In an interview, she shared her love story and the painful period she endured when her husband was linked to actress Zeenat Aman.

All about Sanjay Khan and Zarine Khan love story

Zarine said that her husband called her Queen and always lovingly told her their love story, which made her happy. She explained that their relationship was so strong that they endured life's many ups and downs together. Zarine also revealed that when she was 14, four Pathan boys moved into her neighborhood, one of whom was Sanjay Khan. All of them were attracted to her, but Sanjay never teased her, which impressed her. One day, on the beach, Sanjay wrote "Hi" in the sand with a stick, and that's where their story began. In her words, "My husband calls me his queen. He continues to narrate our love story with so much passion that it embarrasses me! We've been together since I was in school. Ours is a strong connection. That's why we could withstand a lot of upheavals. We are soul mates."

Was Sanjay Khan very possessive about Zarine Khan?

Zarine explained that Sanjay was a very possessive boyfriend, and because of him, she quit modeling. She said, "Persis Khambatta (supermodel/fashionista) even wanted to take me to London on a two-year contract. But my boyfriend was so possessive, he said 'Either you go to London or stay with me'. I chose to be with him and I'm glad. Today, I have a family." However, their relationship wasn't always easy. When Zarine was pregnant with Zayed Khan, Sanjay's name was linked to Zeenat Aman, which deeply shocked her.

Zarine explained that she experienced a lot of emotional stress at that time, but she maintained her composure. She said that she wore 6-inch heels even during her nine-month pregnancy and didn't show any weakness. Later, she gave Sanjay an ultimatum that she would leave him if the relationship continued. She said,"I threw a tantrum and gave him an ultimatum that I'd walk out. That's when things returned to normalcy. Maybe, it was just 'a mad wind' that blew over. But throughout, Abbas kept reassuring me, 'I love you'. He thought being a Muslim; he'd be able to manage us both. But I was a Zoroastrian and couldn't accept that." Zarine said that Sanjay repeatedly reassured her that he loved her.
