Actor Zareen Khan is going through a difficult time after the passing of her mother, Parveen Khan. She died on April 8, 2026, after battling a long illness. The news was confirmed through an official statement released by the actor’s team.
The statement said, “This is to inform that our beloved Ms Parveen Khan, mother of Zareen Khan and Sana Khan, has departed peacefully to her heavenly abode on the 8th of April (sic).”
Her funeral is scheduled to take place at 10 am on April 8, 2026, in Versova, Mumbai. Zareen had often spoken openly about her mother’s health condition and had requested fans on social media to pray for her recovery.
Over the years, Zareen has shared details about her personal struggles and how important her mother has been in her life. In 2016, when her mother underwent heart surgery, Zareen reportedly stepped away from work to take care of her. She has also mentioned that she was the main earning member of her family and took responsibility for running the household.
Talking about her early life, Zareen once said, “There was that one evening that changed our lives completely. My dad had walked out on us and left us. We didn’t have any money because we didn’t come from a space of inherited wealth.”
She also shared, “There was this one night where we were all there together as a family, and suddenly my mother broke down completely. I tried calming her and explained that she doesn’t have to worry, I’ll take care of everything. Ab maine bol toh diya tha (I said it), but here I was, with over 100 kilos, not knowing what I want to do,” she told Pinkvilla.
Zareen added, “Then, I started a job at a call centre. My sister was still studying, and I had just completed my 12th. I also wanted to get a job in airline. I lost over 52 kilos weight and I almost removed an entire person off my body. But I’m happy that today, my mother feels we have sailed through it.”
Zareen Khan shared a very close bond with her mother, who was proud of her journey and achievements.
