Rumors were that Sanjay Khan and Zeenat Aman Married in 1978. There are also several rumors that Khan beat up Zeenat Aman which resulted in injury to her eye. At that time when Sanjay was attracted to the actress, he was already married to her Zareen Khan and had children. In a recent interview, Sanjay’s daughter Farah Khan Ali strongly reacted to these rumors and refuted them. Although he confirmed that his father was married to Zeenat Aman, he denied that he ever beat her. When asked about her father’s relationship with Zeenat Aman, she said in an interview with Vicky Lalwani, “I was very young then so I don’t have a very strong memory. I was 9-10 years old then. But I just want to say that this fake story which is circulating on social media about my father beating Zeenat Aman and hitting her on her father’s hand has hurt all the eyes. My mother or any of her daughters. He is not a violent man for laying a finger on a woman. And what I know, that mother told me that Miss Aman’s mother was suffering from an eye disease. His eyes were also small. So, it was something genetic that happened to Miss Aman and not what was written. My mother is the most honest person and she told me that my father never raised a hand on Zeenat Aman. So, this nonsense about the part where my father beat him is nonsense. I’m glad I can say this on camera today because I want to make it clear that this is not true. My mother likes me, never lie.” Talking about Sanjay Khan’s relationship with Zeenat Aman, his parents’ marriage almost broke, he said, “Yes, it almost broke their marriage. But my mother was a very strong woman. She gave birth to Zayed at that time and she only took leave for three months. She came back leaving Zayed with my father and all of us and she came back and saw that I had like a million rupees and what do I think? The shift is when she realized that my mother is free and can do whatever she wants. can He didn’t count on her and that’s what brought him back. She conducts herself very ladylike. My mother is not one to say bad things to anyone.” Farah also denied the rumors of beating up her mother Zeenat Aman. He said, “Do you really think that my mother would quarrel with another woman and beat her? No, my mother is not. She is a very elegant person. So, this news is fake. Even when she spoke to us about this, she told us, ‘Your father was attracted to her, so I don’t blame him’.” There was an attraction on both sides. Maybe there was something wrong with their marriage at that time. But I believe him when he says my father didn’t kill Zeenat Aman.” He recalls another incident, “I promise this because my father never pointed a finger at anyone. When he was young, he used to fight anyone who was abusive in front of a woman, because he believed that you shouldn’t use bad words in front of a woman. I remember one time, we were in the China Garden and there was an actor, I won’t name him, but he got up and started abusing women and children and my father fought with him. My father is someone who is very old school and who believes that women should be protected, respected, looked after so I must refute this rumor and call it nonsense.” Confirming Zeenat Aman and Sanjay Khan’s marriage rumours, she said, “Yes, it was at that time. There was a Muslim way of marriage and they also did divorce in the Muslim way. You are asking the wrong person because I am not a conventional Muslim person who knows Muslim rules.” Farah said she never asked her father about it. “I didn’t ask him because I didn’t feel the need. My mother forgave him and moved on. You say that when I was married, Aqeel had an affair so my children should ask Aqeel about the affair. My relationship with my husband, my child should not have a relationship with my husband. So, my mother should have a relationship with my father.”
