Filmmaker Sajid Khan has shared a video clarifying that he is alive after he got mistaken by a few for Mother India actor Sajid Khan, who passed away recently. The filmmaker took to his official Instagram handle and shared a video in which he is heard saying, “Mother India film jo 1957 mein aayi thi. Usme jo chhota bachcha Sunil Dutt bana hua tha, uska naam Sajid Khan tha. Wo 1951 mein paida hua tha. Mein 20 saal baad paida hua. Unki bechare ki death ho gayi. And may his soul rest in peace. Lekin mere kuchh irresponsible media walo ne meri photo daal di.”

And may that Sajid Khan’s soul genuinely rest in peace.” Sharing the video, he wrote, “R.i.p.sajid khan(1951-2023)…not me 🙏 as reported with my pic by some media people…”
