Zarine Khan, wife of actor-filmmaker Sanjay Khan, passed away at the age of 81. They were married for nearly 60 years and had three children: Simone, Farah, Sussanne, and Zayed.
Their love story began in Juhu, Mumbai, when Sanjay first saw Zarine at age 18 while she was just 13. He recalled in his memoir The Best Mistakes of My Life:
“We gazed into each other’s eyes and in that moment, I knew hers were the eyes of someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.”
Sanjay proposed soon after they spoke, but Zarine said she would decide after a year if she felt the same. He admired her maturity and they dated for six years before marrying.
After Sanjay rose to fame in the 1960s, their relationship faced difficulties, especially due to rumours about Sanjay's affair with Zeenat Aman. Despite this, Zarine remained loyal and stood by him through the turmoil. She also gave up her modeling career when Sanjay gave her an ultimatum.
Zarine and Sanjay stayed together until the end, showing resilience through the ups and downs that spanned decades.
Zarine Khan’s commitment and sacrifices exemplify the strength behind a long-lasting marriage despite public challenges and personal sacrifices.
