Former Bollywood actress Zarine Khan, wife of Sanjay Khan, passed away at the age of 81. While the public is familiar with most of her children, few know about her middle daughter, Simone Arora.
Simone married Ajay Arora when she was 21, soon after earning her Bachelor of Arts degree. Together, they worked hard to establish D'Decor, a prominent lifestyle brand. Simone also serves as an art director and runs her own exclusive luxury store, SIMONE, located in Mumbai.
During Zarine Khan’s last rites, conducted according to Hindu customs, emotions ran high. Her husband, Sanjay Khan, stood solemnly beside her body with folded hands. The Khan children appeared deeply affected by the loss.
The choice of performing the funeral according to Hindu traditions sparked discussion online. Many fans were surprised, as the Khan family has Muslim roots.
“Muslim hokar hindu ki tarah kyu kiya akhri rasam.”
“Zayed Khan was raised as a Muslim, so what is happening here?”
