Kader Khan’s son points at film industry’s callousness

Mumbai: He expresses no overt resentment, but the late and great writer-actor Kader Khans son Sarfarazs bitterness spills through when he talks of the way his illustrious father was neglected by the film industry after he migrated to Canada to live with his three sons.
Sarfaraz said: “It is the way the Indian film industry has become now. There are too many fragmented camps and loyalties. The out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality can’t be helped.
“My father always told us, his sons, not to expect anything from anybody and we grew up with the belief that one must do what is required in life and expect nothing in return.” However, the hurt is palpable, specially since not too many from the film industry have bothered to call his sons in Canada even after Kader Khan’s death.
“There are so many people in the film industry whom my father was close to. But the one person that my father loved the most was Bachchan saab (Amitabh Bachchan). I’d ask my father whom he missed the most from the film industry and the answer promptly would be Bachchan Saab. And I know the love was mutual.
“I want Bachchan saab to know that my father spoke about him till the end,” said the doting son emotionally.
