He had been sick with cancer for a while and died on December 22. When word got out that the actor had died, some people thought it was Housefull director Sajid Khan. Khan has now confirmed that he is alive and well.
Sajid Khan, Director of Housefull, Posts A Video Posting He Is Alive
On Thursday morning, film director, TV host, and actor Sajid Khan posted a video on Instagram in which he can be heard saying that the actor Sajid Khan who died was in his 70s. “Mother India” is a movie from 1957. We are really happy that Sunil Dutt is back, and our name is Sajid Khan. Where did you get paid in 1951? Mein 20 saal baad money was paid. It’s your death, not mine. May his soul rest in peace. On the other hand, my picture was taken by an irresponsible news outlet. Sajid Khan was the kid actor who played Sunil Dutt’s younger self in the 1957 movie Mother India. I was born 20 years after he was, in 1971. Even though he has died, some careless reporters used my picture with the news,” Sajid said.

And may Sajid Khan’s soul really rest in peace.
Following the video, he wrote, “RIP Sajid Khan (1951-2023)…not me as reported with my picture by some media people…”
