Sanjay Khan in photo with Zarine Khan. Farah on why her mother was cremated as a Hindu In a recent interaction, Farah shared the reason behind the family’s decision to cremate Zarine according to Hindu rituals and revealed that it was her mother’s last wish. She told Vickey Lalwani, “Even though she was born a Parsi and married a Muslim, she asked us to cremate her as a Hindu because she wanted her ashes to be immersed in flowing water in Kashmir. She was claustrophobic about being in a grave. So that was one of the reasons she wanted to be cremated, and so we did. It was really sad because when she died there were so many unkind comments on social media, both from Hindus and Muslims, asking why we were cremating her. The Muslims were like, ‘How can you …

Why Amitabh Bachchan ditched Farah Khan’s Deewangi Deewangi shoot; Director joked about missing wedding invite | Bollywood News

When Farah Khan made Om Shanti Om, one moment that went on to become truly iconic was the song “Deewangi Deewangi.” Besides Shah Rukh Khan, the lavish number featured 31 stars from across the Hindi film industry, including Dharmendra, Rekha, Jeetendra, Mithun Chakraborty, Shabana Azmi, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Priyanka Chopra and Shilpa Shetty, among many others. One notable absence, however, was Amitabh Bachchan. The megastar skipped the shoot because his son, Abhishek Bachchan, was marrying Aishwarya Rai the very same week. Interestingly, more than Big B’s absence from the song, the industry was busy discussing how none of the stars had been invited to Abhishek and Aishwarya’s wedding. Recalling the incident during a conversation with Pallavi Joshi on IFTDA Official’s YouTube channel, Farah laughed, “Amitabh Bachchan didn’t come for the Deewangi song shoot because Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan were getting married the same week.” She then joked, “Now, the industry was not called (to the wedding), so they all came for the shoot. So that’s good.” The stars who said …
