‘My father didn’t beat Zeenat Aman, it’s bull**t: Farah Khan Ali says Sanjay Khan married ‘Abdullah’s friend through Islamic ceremony, reveals how mother Zarine Khan did | Hindi Movie News

There were rumors about Sanjay Khan and Zeenat Aman married in 1978. Several rumors also claimed that Khan had hit Zeenat Aman which hurt her eyes. At that time when Sanjay fell in love with the actress, they were already married Zareen Khan and had children. In a recent interview, Sanjay’s daughter Farah Khan Ali reacted strongly to these rumors and refuted them. Although he confirmed that his father was married to Zeenat Aman, he denied that he had beaten her. When asked about her father’s relationship with Zeenat Aman, in an interview with Vickey Lalwani, “I was very young at that time so I don’t remember very much. He is not a cruel man to raise a finger on a woman. And what I know, the mother told me that Miss Aman’s mother had an eye disease. His eye was also small. So, it was something that happened to Miss Aman and not what was written. My mother is a very honest person and she told me that my father never raised his hand on Zeenat Aman. So, this nonsense about the part where my father beat him with a bull. I’m glad I can say this on camera today because I want to explain this, that it’s not true. My mother like me, she wouldn’t lie.” He also talked about the story of Sanjay Khan and Zeenat Aman, almost breaking the marriage of his parents, he said, “Yes, it was almost breaking their marriage. But my mother was a very strong woman. She gave birth to Zayed at that time and only left for three months. She left Zayed behind with my father and with all of us and she came back looking like a million bucks, and I realized that it was the same as my father. My mother was independent and she could just leave and do what she wanted. He didn’t trust her and that’s what brought him back. She acted like a very lady. My mother is not a person who would speak ill of anyone.” Farah denied rumors that her mother also joined the fight and beat up Zeenat Aman. He said, “Do you think my mother would start fighting with any other woman and beat her? No, my mother is not like that. She is a very beautiful person. So, this story is false. Even when she told us about it, she told us, ‘your father was attracted to her, so I don’t blame him’.” There were attractions on both sides. Maybe at that time, there was something wrong in their marriage. But I believe when he said that my father did not beat Zeenat Aman.” He also remembered what happened and said: “I guarantee that my father never lifted a finger. When he was young, he fought against any person who abused a woman, because he believed that you should not say bad words in front of a woman.” There was a time I remember, we were in China Garden once and there was an actor, I won’t mention his name, but he came up and started being abusive in front of the women and children and my father fought with him. My father is a person who is very old school and believes that women should be protected, respected, taken care of so I have to refute that rumor and call it a lie.” Confirming the rumors about Zeenat Aman and Sanjay Khan’s marriage, he said, “Yes, she was there that time. There was an Islamic way of getting married and they also divorced in the Islamic way. You are asking the wrong person because I am not an ordinary Muslim who knows Islamic law.” Farah said that she never asked her father about the matter. “I didn’t ask him because I didn’t see the need to do it. My mother had forgiven him and moved on. It’s like you say that when I was married, Aqeel had a boyfriend so my children will ask Aqeel about this. My relationship with my husband should not be the relationship of my children with my husband. Therefore, the relationship of my mother with my father should not define my relationship with my father,” he said.
