In a heartfelt display of solidarity, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, accompanied by his wife Gauri Khan and their daughter Suhana Khan, paid a visit to Farah Khan’s residence following the passing of her mother, Menaka Irani.

The Khan family was joined by Pooja Dadlani, Shah Rukh Khan’s manager, as they arrived to offer their condolences to the grieving family. The poignant moment was captured by photographers as Farah Khan was seen hugging Shah Rukh and Suhana, visibly moved by their support during this difficult time.
Farah Khan’s mother had recently undergone multiple surgeries, a struggle Farah shared with her followers on social media. In a touching birthday post dedicated to her mother, Farah expressed her admiration and love, describing Menaka as the “strongest, bravest person” she had ever known. “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, with 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 wrote.
Earlier in the day, a host of Bollywood celebrities visited Farah’s house to offer their condolences. Among them were Rani Mukerji, Shilpa Shetty, Bhushan Kumar, and rapper MC Stan, all of whom came to pay their respects and support the Khan family during their time of grief.
The outpouring of support from the Bollywood fraternity underscores the deep bonds and close-knit relationships within the industry.

Menaka Irani’s passing is a significant loss, and the heartfelt tributes from those who knew her reflect the impact she had on their lives. As the Khan family navigates this challenging period, the support from friends and colleagues provides a measure of comfort and strength.
