The couple had six children over the following decade, numbering four sons and two daughters (Fali, Cilla, Jan, Sheru, Sam and Jami). Sam was their fifth child and third son. could be summarised as: Manekshaw's parents left Mumbai in 1903 for Lahore to practice medicine, where Hormizd [footnote at Hormusji:his Iranian name was Hormizd] had friends.
