Days
after
her
mother
Menka
Irani


passed
away
,
Farah
Khan
took
to
Instagram
to
share
her
feelings
in
a
poignant
post.

‘My
mom
was
a
very
unique
person..
never
wanted
the
limelight
or
any
fuss
around
her..
despite
the
hard
knocks
she
faced
in
her
early
life
she
was
a
rare
one
who
had
no
bitterness
or
envy
towards
anyone.
Everyone
who
met
her
loved
her
n
realised
where
we
get
our
sense
of
humour
from,’
Farah
wrote.

‘Well
hardly..
she
was
far
wittier
n
funny
than
both
Sajid
n
I
put
together.
I
don’t
know
if
she
can
see
the
outpouring
of
genuine
love
n
condolences
that
have
come
for
her
..
not
only
frm
our
friends
n
of
course
family
but
so
many
of
her
colleagues
n
people
who
worked
in
our
house
came
saying
how
my
mom
had
helped
them
with
loans
or
sending
them
money..
never
expecting
it
back.’

‘I
don’t
want
time
to
heal
this
lump
that
will
always
stay
in
my
heart..
I
don’t
want
to
miss
her
coz
she’s
always
a
part
of
me..grateful
to
the
universe
for
letting
her
be
my
mother
n
letting
us
look
after
her
the
way
she
single
handedly
looked
after
us
all
her
life..
no
more
mourning
now..
I
want
to
celebrate
her
every
day..
thank
you
everyone.’

She
adds
a
‘PS’
about
the
song
playing
alongside
the
post,

Crying
In
The
Rain
:
‘The
song
playing
was
by
her
favourite
country
singer
Don
Williams.
Knowing
her
she
would
probably
think
it’s
too
filmy
of
me
to
use
it
here.’
