Kader Khan’s son on Govinda: “Has he even bothered to call us?”

After the tragic demise of Kader Khan earlier this week, a flurry of stars have paid tribute to the legendary actor. One of those were Govinda, who had worked with Khan in a number of films.

Upon hearing about Khan’s death on 1st January 2019, Govinda posted a message on his Twitter saying, “RIP Kader Khan Saab. He was not just my “ustaad” but a father figure to me, his midas touch and his aura made every actor he worked with a superstar. The entire film industry and my family deeply mourns this loss and we cannot express the sorrow in words.”

Responding to this, Khan’s son Sarfaraz Khan said, “Please ask Govinda how many times he inquired about his father figure’s health. Has he even bothered to call us even once after my father’s passing away?”

“It is the way the Indian film industry has become now. There are too many fragmented camps and loyalties. The out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality can’t be helped.”

“There are no real feelings for those who have contributed to Indian cinema when they’re no longer active. The top guns may be seen getting clicked with these retired veterans. But the affection goes only as far as photographs. No more. Look at the condition in which Lalita Pawarji and Mohan Chotiji died,” he added.
