Celebrity chef, Farah Jehanzeb passed away after losing her battle with breast cancer. She was 45.

Karachi-based Jehanzeb had moved to Lahore with her daughter to undergo cancer treatment.

Farah Jehanzeb – known as Farah Aaniya Alam after her divorce from husband Jahanzeb Khan – was well known in the culinary industry. She was very popular among women and children both, not only because of her charming personality and talented cooking skills but also as a fashion designer.

Jahanzeb was famous for her unique cooking shows on numerous channels. 'Food Afternoon with Farah' was one of her popular shows on Geo TV.

She was last seen doing a cooking program on Zaiqa TV.

Her sudden disappearance made her fans wonder where she was as very few people knew about the cancer, which made her unable to continue her shows.

A few months earlier, Jehanzeb posted a status on her facebook page telling her fans about her ailment and thanking them for their support:

“Allah sometimes chooses some people for a bigger purpose, today I feel yes I am one of those people. I flipped into the rarest form of disease where medicines were not working on my body and all the doctors said “I am a hopeless case” at that time the only person who stood by me was my honorable teacher Dr.Mohammad Alam, he brings out the courage, faith, strength and my Emaan more on Allah (SWT).

He guided me to work on myself. With the blessings of my teacher and duas of my mother I am coming back to life again, my doctor, my paramedical staff who gave me so much care.

My team members who continuously supported me. My bhabis, my loving brothers, ammi whose mouth dried by reciting ayat-e-karima, Shanzeh who is continuously manifesting health for mama, Jehanzeb reciting darood-e-pak, Parisheh and my son in law who pampered me like a baby and my friends praying for my health and my recovery.

I am truly a blessed woman. I am posting my pictures during the treatment for all my fans.

Farah”
