Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui apologises to families of Sridevi and Irrfan Khan; Here’s why

Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui, who had worked with Sridevi and Irrfan Khan, has extended an apology to the families of both the late actors. His apology is over the remarks of media personality, Aamir Liaquat Husain. During a television show, the host cracked a joke on the deceased.

Later, the actor took to his social media handles and wrote a lengthy post.

He wrote, “So I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling right now or what to say. But this needs to go out. I was invited on the live chat show ‘Jeeway Pakistan’ yesterday when this unfortunate incident happened.

The anchor Amir Liaquat joked about something extremely sensitive. Not only were they both close to me but also as a human it was wrong on so many levels. I cannot even call it ‘hitting below the belt’.”

He further added, “I want to apologise to the families of Sridevi Sahiba and lrrfan Khan Sahab, their loved ones and fans. If you see my body language I was extremely uncomfortable with what he said but I didn’t want to stoop to that level. I regret being on the show. I’ve learnt my lesson and I promise I will not tolerate such an act in future. I was hoping this bit wouldn’t become public but unfortunately it has. I’m sorry. Thank you”(sic).
