Saira Banu Mourns Close Friend Zarine Khan's Demise"Zarine was very close to me, a dear friend with whom I shared many wonderful moments. She, Appaji and I would spend such lovely hours together…It was only in later years, when health began to trouble us, that we stopped meeting as often. But the bond of affection remained untouched.

And you see at various occasions I was really surprised at this woman’s wisdom and how intelligently…just how patiently she handled her life…she knew the art of making things look warm and pleasant even on days when life wasn’t as pleasant. I always thought there was so much to learn from her," wrote the actress.She recalled that Zarine had an innate sense of grace and beauty, sharing a similar taste in art, design, and jewellery. Saira added, "What I admired most about Zarine was her quiet strength in holding her marriage together. Abbas was a flamboyant man, full of life and colour, and she complemented him with serenity and understanding. Her perspective on life and marriage was truly exemplary. Their lasting marriage, stands on the foundation of her patience, wisdom, and the deep love that sustained them through time."
