Breaking News: Farah and Sajid Khan’s Mom, Menka Irani, Passes Away at 79

So, here we are, folks. The Khan siblings—Farah and Sajid—are in mourning as their beloved mother, Menka Irani, has departed this world at the age of 79. Now, Menka wasn’t just any mom; she was a single mother who single-handedly raised these two Bollywood heavyweights after the passing of her husband, Kamran Khan. Farah Khan has often credited her mom for her success, highlighting Menka’s strength and dedication. Talk about a real-life Wonder Woman! 💪

In a 2005 interview, Farah poured her heart out about her mom. She said, “I know I don’t say this often, but I love you. If you weren’t in my life, if you weren’t the person you are, Sajid and I would be completely different people. I know how hard you worked to ensure we got a proper education. It mattered to us.” Aww, Farah, you’re making us all misty-eyed! 😢

Farah’s Big Break with ‘Main Hoon Na’

Farah Khan’s career skyrocketed with the release of ‘Main Hoon Na.’ That film wasn’t just a hit; it was a supernova! She thanked her mom for instilling core values and praised her honesty, which brought tears to Menka’s eyes. Farah said, “The values you gave us, I know you’re the most honest person I’ve ever met. Your sense of humor and the joy with which you live your life have shaped me. If I can be half the person you are, I’ll be very proud.” Cue the tissues, people! 😭

Menka Irani’s Last Birthday Bash

Just a couple of weeks ago, on July 12, Menka celebrated her 79th birthday. Farah penned an emotional message: “Last month, I realized how much I love my mom, Menka. She’s the strongest, bravest person I’ve ever seen. Despite multiple surgeries, her ‘sense of humor’ remains intact. Happy Birthday, Mom! Today’s a great day to come home. I love you.” Farah’s brother, Sajid Khan, also chimed in with a simple yet heartfelt post: “Happy Birthday, Mummy.”
