Saif Ali Khan was the first in the past week to lose his father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and now Anil Kapoor too is mourning the death of his father, Surinder Kapoor. Bollywood may be fulls of ego’s and tantrums but this is one time the whole industry comes together and supports each other in times of need. The loss of both father’s has had a huge impact on the industry as both are legends in their own right, and have been strong influences for their career-minded sons.
Saif said a big thank you to all those who supported him during this difficult time, "It's a sad moment for all at home. I'm extremely thankful for the support extended to us. It's overwhelming. People from all fraternities – sports, cinema, politics, media – have sent their condolences. They've said beautiful things about my father, and I'd like to thank them for that. Even he would've been most grateful for all those kind words and warmth shown to him," said Saif.
