''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,'' Sarfaraz added.
''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," he further added.
''I want Bachchan saab to know that my father spoke about him till the end," said the son emotionally.
Shakti Kapoor, David Dhawan and Govinda were others who worked very closely with Kader Khan during the 1980s and 1990s.
Kader Khan died on January 1, 2019, at a hospital in Canada. After reportedly suffering from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a degenerative disease that causes loss of balance, difficulty in walking and dementia, the actor had been in hospital.
Kader Khan, who was born in Kabul, made his debut in acting with Daag, starting Rajesh Khanna in the lead role. After that film in 1973, Khan went on to work in over 300 films, spanning several decades.
He is survived by a nation of grieving fans and his family.
