So far, the actor herself has not shared any personal message publicly regarding her mother’s passing.
Social media updates during her mother’s illness
Over the past few months, Zareen Khan had been regularly updating fans about her mother’s health. She often turned to social media asking followers to keep Parveen Khan in their prayers.
Just last month, the actress gave a hopeful update. She revealed that her mother had been moved out of the ICU, but was still admitted to the hospital.
She wrote on Instagram Stories that her mother was “out of the ICU… but still in the hospital” and requested people to continue praying.
Emotional Ramadan birthday message
Earlier this year, on February 23, Zareen Khan had shared another emotional note. The date marked her Islamic birthday, which falls on the fifth day of Ramadan. She mentioned that she usually enjoys celebrating her birthday, but things were different this year.
In the post, she explained that her mother was hospitalised and therefore she would not celebrate. She requested followers to pray for her mother, saying that prayers would be the “greatest gift” she could receive.
Previous health scare last year
This was not the first time Parveen Khan had faced health issues. In October last year, the actress had shared that her mother was hospitalised. Later, she confirmed that her mother had been discharged.
That update had reassured fans and well-wishers.
However, her mother’s condition appeared to worsen again in the months that followed, eventually leading to the prolonged illness mentioned in the latest statement.
