Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui, who has worked with Sridevi and Irrfan Khan on Bollywood movies, recently found himself in an awkward situation. During an appearance on a television show, its presenter made a nasty joke about the deaths of two deceased actors. Actor Mom distanced himself from the controversy and released a statement about his reaction to the incident on Twitter.
The statement read: “So I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling right now or what to say. But this has to come out. I was invited yesterday to the live chat show” Jeewey Pakistan “when this unfortunate incident occurred. Host Amir Liaquat Sahab joked about something extremely sensitive. They were not only close to me but also human, it was wrong on many levels. I can’t even call it “hitting below the belt”.

He added: “It was an extremely cruel act to joke about the deceased. This is in very bad taste, it not only shows him and me, but also the whole country in bad light. I want to apologize to the families of Sridevi Sahiba and lrrfan Khan Sahab, their loved ones and admirers. If you see my body language, I was extremely uncomfortable with what he said, but I didn’t want to lower myself to that level. I’m sorry to be on the show. I learned my lesson and I promise that I will not tolerate such an act in the future. He hoped that this part was not made public, but unfortunately it has. Sorry. Thank you. “He shared a hands-together emoji at the end of the post.

Host Amir had joked about how the actors Adnan worked with no longer exist. He also teased him by rejecting Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 2, which “saved the lives” of the movie’s star cast.
Adnan had played the role of Sridevi’s husband Anand in the 2017 movie Mom. It was the last movie from the Bollywood star before his untimely death in Dubai. He was also part of the 2007 English film A Mighty Heart that had Irrfan in the role of Karachi Police Chief. The film was produced by Brad Pitt and starred Angelina Jolie as the female lead.
While Sridevi died on February 24, 2018, Irrfan died on Wednesday after a two-year battle with a neuroendocrine tumor.
