Hours after a video clip, showing Wanted actor Inder Kumar in an inebriated state and talking about committing suicide, went viral, his wife Pallavi Saraf clarified that the clip was a scene from his last Bollywood film, thereby refuting reports of it being a real footage.
Kumar died of a heart attack in July last year, a month ahead of his 45th birthday.
At a press conference on Monday, his wife addressed the controversy surrounding the viral video of the late actor.
"It is not a real video. It is actually a scene from a film called 'Phatti Padi Hai Yaar' for which he had shot a year-and-half ago. It is sad that people are confusing the film scene with his real life," Saraf was quoted as saying by PTI.
She said that there were moments when Kumar felt weak, especially after he was accused of rape in 2014, but added that he never gave up.
"During that phase, he was highly disturbed. There were, of course, days where he broke down. He was concerned that his name was dragged into this but he never gave up," she said.
She said that the film's production team was not sure of how the leak happened but denied that it was a publicity stunt. The film is expected to be released later this year.
