The road accident on Sunday night by a car allegedly owned by Arbaaz Khan and driven by Sohail Khan's driver, which took an old woman's life, has left the Khan family with a disturbing sense of dejavu, and a deep sense of distress and indignation when no member of the Khan family was in the
car when the accident occurred.
So says a discernibly distressed and upset Sohail Khan who claims media reports with the Khan name have deeply disturbed the family.
Says Sohail, "WE AREN'T an insensitive family. And it isn't a fair feeling to be portrayed that way. The motive force was alone within the car. It was the driving force who caused the very unfortunate accident. He has taken the responsibility it."
Far from feeling relieved at being exonerated from guilt, Sohail says the Khan family is deeply disturbed by the accident. "WE'RE shaken by the entire episode. Who wouldn't be? Are we not human? To be called insensitive when only I DO KNOW the trauma that my family goes through ever for the reason that accident happened may be very unfair."
Sohail says the accident was seen by several eyewitnesses. "They've told the police exactly what happened. The motive force was alone within the car. The poor lady lost her life. We're as troubled by this as any normal family could be. Why are we being perceived as callous and indifferent? It's sad that this type of tragic event has become yet another occasion to make us brothers seem like reckless adventurers. Our names are getting used simply because our driver isn't a celebrity."
Apparently, the family is very focused on the plight of the motive force. "It was an accident. A precious human life was lost. A minimum of give us time to return to terms with the enormity of the tragedy," says Sohail.
Sohail is particularly upset with the best way the Khan family's role within the entire tragedy is being distorted. Says Sohail, "HAVE A LOOK AT how our statements are misinterpreted. I said and that i meant that it was sad to peer homeless people sleeping at the roads covering themselves with plastic sheets to forestall being drenched within the rain. Given this sort of dangerous situation, if God Forbid, a car loses control it might prove fatal."
"We are sincerely inquisitive about the placement. What happened can not and mustn't ever happen to anyone. Let's make the roads safer for the pedestrians and the drivers," adds Sohail.
