Actor Mushtaq Khan laid to rest in Mumbai as colleagues pay tribute

Actor Mushtaq Khan died on September 24 after a prolonged battle with cancer, and was buried the following day at Yari Road Cemetery in Mumbai. Colleagues and other film and television figures attended the funeral, while actor Raza Murad said no major film star was present, a characterization that differs from a separate account naming several actors who attended. Reports describe Khan as a veteran supporting actor whose career spanned several decades. His credits included Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Welcome and Gadar. Tributes followed his death from figures including Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher and Paresh Rawal, who remembered his work and contributions to Hindi cinema. The accounts differ on Khan’s age at death: one gave it as 75 and another as 62. The available information does not resolve the discrepancy. The reported funeral date is September 25; a separate account described the service as taking place on Wednesday, but that timing conflicts with the other reports and is not supported by the date they provide. Murad said colleagues and fellow actors attended, but he expressed disappointment that no major star came to pay respects.
