Khan's youngest child Sukaina Khan mourned the loss of her mother by remembering the best moments with her. She also opened up about how Saroj ji would always do everything for her family. Speaking to Pinkvilla, Sukaina Khan said, "My mother was my hero. She was the greatest influence in my life. She was both a mother and father to me. She was very lenient but at the same time, wanted my etiquette to be perfect. She loved me being around her since I'm the youngest. My mum was my fighter. From the age of 13 to 71, she has done everything to fend for us and give us a full life. She has never complained and was the man of the house."
