Actor Raza Murad Criticizes Bollywood Stars For Missing Mushtaq Khan Funeral

Actor Raza Murad criticized the absence of major Bollywood stars from veteran character actor Mushtaq Khan’s funeral, saying the industry had failed to pay respects to a performer whose career spanned nearly five decades. Murad did not name individuals, but contrasted the absence with stars’ attendance at high-profile celebrations and urged humility, noting that fame and wealth are temporary. Several colleagues and friends did attend Khan’s funeral, and tributes also followed his death. Khan, known for supporting roles in films including “Welcome” and “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” died after cancer returned and his condition worsened.
Khan’s funeral prayer was held at Yari Road Cemetery.
Khan’s son, Mohsin, urged fans to celebrate his father’s life rather than mourn, saying his memories and work would remain with them.
Khan’s business partner said he had previously been diagnosed with lung cancer, recovered after treatment, and learned earlier this month that the cancer had returned.
Reports named Rajat Bedi, Manish Wadhwa, Sulabha Arya, Shahbaz Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Sharad Malhotra and comedian Ahsaan Qureshi among those who attended Khan’s funeral; Annu Kapoor also paid tribute to his friend and colleague.
