“THIS IS ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY - AN INSULT TO THE DEAD” - SAIF ALI KHAN’S BREAKING STATEMENT!

Reacting to Sushant’s death, actor Saif Ali Khan told a popular media house “Such terrible news about Sushant, such terrible news! It's just awful.There are so many people who've made comments so quickly. And it just seems to me that people are somewhere gaining some mileage from this poor fellow's tragedy, you know, whether it's to show compassion or to show interest or to show some political stance. So many people are talking rubbish in this nonstop kind of barrage on social media and it's just embarrassing, really, I think.”

He also added saying “Out of respect for him, for Sushant's tragedy, maybe a day of silence or introspection would be a little more becoming than this outpouring of love – an outpouring of love from people who obviously didn't care about him and people who famously don't care about anybody else.”

Speaking about the Industry, Saif said “Yes! I mean, we don't care about anybody. You know, it's a very cutthroat line of work. But to pretend that you do care is like the ultimate hypocrisy and I think that's an insult to the dead, it's an insult to the soul that's gone. I think the least we can do is just have some introspection - maybe some silence - not try and come across as, you know, the most politically astute or the kindest or the wisest or something or the other?”

It is to be noted that Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan made her acting debut in Sushant Singh Rajput's 'Kedarnath'. Saif has also played a cameo in Sushant's upcoming movie 'Dil Bechara', which is the remake of 'The Fault in Our Stars'. 

Sushant’s last rites were performed yesterday (15/06/2020) in Mumbai at a burial ground, where he was laid to rest.
