Heartbreaking news for the entire film fraternity. I remember watching her in Ek Phool Do Mali with my grandmother. Such grace and dignity she carried throughout her life. Strength to Zayed, Sussanne, and the entire family during this difficult time.

While it's sad to hear about her passing, I wish media would give more privacy to grieving families instead of detailing every family relationship and past marriages. The focus should be on respecting their loss.

The Khan family has contributed so much to Indian cinema across generations. From Sanjay Khan's iconic roles to their children carrying forward the legacy. May Zarine Katrak's soul find eternal peace.

Saw her in Farah Khan's vlog just 11 months ago - she looked so vibrant and full of life, cooking Irani mutton kofta! Life is so unpredictable. Heartfelt condolences to Sanjay Khan who lost his life partner after 55+ years of marriage 💔
