Tusshar Kapoor assures Jeetendra is ‘absolutely fine’ after minor fall at Zarine Khan’s prayer meet

Veteran actor Jeetendra experienced a brief mishap at the prayer meeting held for late interior designer and actress Zarine Khan on November 10 in Mumbai. The incident occurred when the actor, dressed in a beige kurta and white shoes, tripped at the venue’s slightly elevated entrance while acknowledging photographers.

As seen in a viral video, he lost balance and fell to the side before being helped up by three people, including security personnel. Fortunately, the fall was minor, and Jeetendra quickly regained his composure.

Addressing concerns about his father’s health, actor Tusshar Kapoor told Bombay Times, “He is absolutely fine. According to him, it was just a minor fall.” The assurance from Tusshar came as fans expressed relief over Jeetendra’s well-being following the widely circulated clip from the prayer meet.

The gathering was held in remembrance of Zarine Khan, who passed away on November 7, 2025, at the age of 81 after suffering a cardiac arrest. She was the wife of veteran actor-filmmaker Sanjay Khan and mother to Sussanne and Zayed Khan. Zarine had been dealing with age-related health complications, and her funeral took place the same day at Mumbai’s Juhu Crematorium, performed according to Hindu customs.

While the prayer meet saw several well-known faces paying their respects, Jeetendra’s brief fall momentarily drew attention.
