He took a dig at Govinda's 'father figure' statement and questioned him if he ever inquired about Khan's death. "Please ask Govinda how many times he inquired about his father figure's health. Has he even bothered to call us even once after his death?" he added.
There's no affection left in Bollywood: Sarfaraz
Sarfaraz further slammed the showbiz industry's insensitive side. There's no feeling left for veteran actors, he claimed. "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. This is the way our film industry has become," he added.
Khan was quite close to Amitabh Bachchan
In the industry where there are no permanent friends, Khan shared a close bond with Amitabh Bachchan. The two worked together in several hits.
