ISLAMABAD: Bollywood mega star Shah Rukh Khan lost his Peshawar-based cousin Noor Jehan this week after she lost her long fought battle with cancer, confirmed her family members while talking to a local news channel on Tuesday.
Jehan, who lived near the fabled Storytellers’ Street, spent much of her time in government service. She also remained district and town councilor in Peshawar. While she withdrew her nomination papers before the elections, she filed them in July 2018 to run for the provincial assembly.
Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly close to the Pakistani side of his family. Reports indicate that he visited Pakistan with his parents at least twice in his youth, while Jehan and her family stayed with him in India as well.
Fan sites and Bollywood-devoted platforms also insist that Khan maintained a close relationship with his paternal side.
Some Instagram accounts of Khan’s fans have posted photos of the cousins on some of their family meet-ups.
Khan has neither commented nor released a statement on the passing of his cousin. His last social media posts on both Twitter and Instagram were on January 26th, 2020, in honor of the Indian Republic Day.
