Take a look:
Filmmaker Farah Khan’s mother, Menka Irani, passed away on July 26 due to an age-related illness, as reported by the media. She died at 3 am. Just a few days earlier, Farah had shared an emotional note on Instagram about her mother’s health struggles.
On July 12, Farah posted a heartfelt message on Instagram to celebrate her mother’s birthday. The filmmaker shared several photos with Menka and reflected on the tendency to take mothers for granted. Although she did not specify Menka’s illness, she mentioned that her mother had been discharged from the hospital that day.
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’s been the strongest, bravest person I’ve ever seen, with her sense of humour intact even after multiple surgeries.” She added, “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.”
