Here's Why Zarine Khan's Funeral Was Held As Per Hindu Traditions

Veteran actor Sanjay Khan's wife, Zarine Khan, passed away on Friday. Her funeral became the talk of the town because the family performed cremation according to Hindu traditions. Many netizens started questioning about it. So, the real reason behind the Hindu cremation ceremony is that Zarine reportedly practiced Hinduism before marriage.

Before getting married to Sanjay Khan, Zarine's maiden name was Katrak. So, that's why the funeral was held as per Hindu traditions.

Zarine was 81 years old, and she passed away due to age-related ailments. She is survived by her husband, Sanjay Khan, and her four children Sussanne Khan, Simone Arora, Farah Ali Khan, and Zayed Khan.
