His funeral was done in Canada only as his all relatives live in Canada, his son Sarfaraz told media. It might seem difficult to attend his last rituals in Canada due to the distance but if our Celebs can fly all the distance to Italy and other parts of the world to attend wedding ceremonies and enjoy vacations, why can’t they go to attend the funeral of such a great actor.
