He expressed that the incident has deeply affected everyone and described the loss as unfortunate.
Arbaaz Khan attended an event today, where reporters asked him to share his views on the ex-minister’s death. In his reply, the actor said, “Baba Siddhique was a very, very close family friend and very loved person and unke saath aap dekho eid ke time poori industry jama hoti thi toh unke jaane ka bohot afsoos ho raha” (You could see how everyone from the showbiz gathered during his eid parties, and I regret the passing of such a loved person.)

The Bollywood superstar’s family also visited Siddique’s home to pay their last respects. Later, India Today reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly took responsibility for the killing through a Facebook post.
