Before her transition into interior design, Zarine Khan appeared in films such as Tere Ghar Ke Saamne and Ek Phool Do Mali. Later, she co-authored a cookbook, acknowledging her mother-in-law for inspiring her culinary passion.
Even after Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan’s separation, both families maintained cordial relations. Zarine once spoke highly of Hrithik during an interview.
"I think he is in the wrong profession. He would have made a great spiritual leader. He never holds a grudge, never gets angry. Only extreme injustice against someone can make him really angry. Otherwise he just lets things go, even if someone wrongs him, or does something that upsets him."
She admired his gentle nature and calm temperament, noting that he approached life with patience and compassion.
Zarine married actor Sanjay Khan in 1996 and built a life that balanced creativity, family, and grace, leaving behind a legacy remembered fondly by many.
