The versatile actor Kader Khan’s demise left the entire country into shock. The veteran actor was 81-year old, worked over 300 Bollywood movies but for the past few years, he kept himself away from the tinsel town as he was not physically fit. During that time, hardly anyone belonging to the film industry ever inquired about his health. However, after his demise, scores of Bollywood stars took to social media to offer condolence.
Among the celebrities who paid tribute to him are Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda, Shatrughan Sinha, Shakti Kapoor and many others. An ace comedian Govinda, who worked with Kader Khan in the movies including ‘Raja Babu’, ‘Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni’ and others, had said that Kader Khan was not just his teacher but a father figure to him.
Govinda wrote on Twitter: “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. I pray to God that may his soul rest in peace.#ripkaderkhansaab.”
Following this, the son of Kader Khan, Sarfaraz Khan asked Govinda, Did he ever inquire about his health or even call them after his demise? Responding to Sarfraz’s comment, Govind told BBC Hindi, “He is a kid and I would not like to comment on it. He is a kid. I got to know (what he said).”
