Crowd has scant Respect for the Departed: Big B


Mumbai, Jul 20 (IANS): Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is unhappy with the way crowd behaved during Rajesh Khanna's funeral procession.

Tweeting his anger, Big B wrote: "The funeral of Rajesh Khanna was poignant and crowded... the crowds were in throngs, with scant respect for the situation... pity !!"

While one would expect the crowd to comprise of fans of Rajesh Khanna who had come to pay last respects to the late superstar, Big B thinks otherwise.

"For the crowds it is always a moment of an event to see so many stars assemble... not one of respect to him that passed away," tweeted Amitabh.

Rajesh Khanna, fondly called Kaka by his family and friends, passed away Wednesday morning following a liver infection. He was 69.

The Bollywood's first superstar was laid to rest at the Vile Parle crematorium Thursday. His grandson Aarav lit the pyre.

    I am a great fan of Amitabh Bachchan as well as Rajesh Khanna. But the term used by Amitabh for the people gathered for the funeral shows utter disrespect for the masses (whether the latter gathered to pay respect to the departed star or to have a glance of these so called living stars). How easily they forget that this very thronging nature of people is what has brought them to their stardom.
