Meanwhile, Farah's sister Sussanne had shifted to ex-husband Hrithik Roshan's house before the lockdown was imposed earlier in March. Sussanne and Hrithik, who divorced in 2014, are parents to kids Hrehaan and Hridhaan. Sussanne temporarily moved to Hrithik's Juhu bungalow so that the kids can be with both parents during lockdown.
Farah and Sussanne are the daughters of actor Sanjay Khan and Zarine Katrak. Their brother Zayed Khan is an actor while their sister Simone is an interior designer, just like Sussanne.
In a 25-minute brief address to the nation on Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended the lockdown till May 3. He said restrictions will be reviewed after April 20. In India, the positive cases of COVID-19 have risen to over 11,430 with Maharashtra being the worst hit state.
