On July 12, Farah Khan shared a heartfelt post on social media to honour her mother’s special day. In the touching pictures, Farah was seen holding her mother’s hand, both of them smiling warmly for the camera. One of the photos was a nostalgic monochrome shot.
In her emotional birthday message, Farah wrote, “We all take our mothers for granted… especially me! This last month has been a revelation on how much I love my mom Menka. She has been the strongest, bravest person I’ve ever seen, her sense of humor intact even after multiple surgeries. Happy birthday mom! Today’s a good day to come back home can’t wait for you to get strong enough to start fighting with me again.. I love you”
Farah Khan had previously shared how she, her brother Sajid, and their mother Menaka Irani navigated the financial hardships following the death of their father, Kamran Khan, due to alcoholism. Reflecting on those challenging times, Farah had revealed, “Yes, I belonged to a filmy family, but by the time I turned five, we were the poor cousins. We’d lost all our money, dad’s film had flopped. We had a riches-to-rags story. So, while the rest of the family was thriving, we became the charity cases. Sajid, our mother, and I were supported by our relatives, who graciously let us stay in their house.” She shared this heartfelt story on Radio Nasha, emphasizing the resilience and solidarity that carried them through those tough years.
