The Story of Master

Farkhondeh Golafshan in Mashhad. Her profession, before and during her marriage, included that of a teacher. She married Mohammad-Reza Shajarian in 1961 or 1962, when Shajarian was in his early 20s. Farkhondeh Golafshan was not as prominently featured in media or public life as Shajarian, which is the case with many spouses of famous figures, especially in earlier decades and in society. Her presence is primarily documented in relation to Shajarian’s personal life: marriage, children, and divorce.

Public sources do not provide extensive information about her own personal activities, her contributions (beyond her role as a mother and spouse), her later life, or her own career (if she had one beyond teaching). Homayoun, their son, became a well-known figure in Persian music, sometimes performing alongside his father. That continues the musical legacy of the family.
