A few days ago, actor Sajid Khan, who gained notoriety for portraying Sunil Dutt's younger version of Birju in Mehboob Khan's film Mother India, passed suddenly. After a protracted battle with cancer, he died on December 22. Upon hearing of the tragic actor's passing, several people thought he was the director of Housefull, Sajid Khan, who has now emphasized that he is still alive and well.

Sajid Khan, an actor, film director, and television presenter, posted a video on his Instagram account on Thursday morning. In it, he is heard stating that the deceased actor was in his seventies. “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. (Mother India film released in 1957, and the child actor who played Sunil Dutt’s younger version was Sajid Khan. He was born in 1951, I was born 20 years after that. He has passed away, however, some irresponsible media people have used my photo with the news),” revealed Sajid.

He further added that since last night, a lot of people have been calling and texting him to ask 'Tu zinda hai na? (you’re alive, right?).’ He then said that he is alive and well, and will continue to entertain everyone. Khan revealed, “To main haath jodke request karta hu media walon se aur doston se, fans se jitne bhi duniya bhar me mujhe iss waqt dekh rahe hain. I am alive. And may that Sajid Khan's soul genuinely rest in peace. (I request media, fans, friends, and everyone watching this video- I am alive).”

Sharing the video, he posted, “R.i.p.sajid khan(1951-2023)...not me as reported with my pic by some media people...”.
