The Times of India article explains why Zarine Khan, wife of Bollywood actor-filmmaker Sanjay Khan and mother of Sussanne and Zayed Khan, was cremated according to Hindu rituals despite being from the Parsi community[1]. Zarine had expressed a personal wish: she wanted her last rites—specifically the "dah-sanskar" (Hindu cremation)—to be performed as per Hindu customs[1]. Her son, Zayed Khan, honored this request and led the funeral proceedings, while the family and guests, including Hrithik Roshan, attended to pay respects[3][4]. The article clarifies that while Zarine married into a prominent Muslim family, she was born a Hindu and, thus, chose to be farewelled according to her birth religion[1]. This decision drew attention and sparked some discussion, as both Hindu and Muslim rituals were performed in the Khan family over the years, reflecting their diverse backgrounds[2]. The coverage highlights the family's respect for Zarine's personal choice and the emotional support shown by relatives and Bollywood acquaintances during the ceremony[3][4].
