He said, "Had we been there, maybe this incident could have been prevented. For the summit, even Boney ji reached Lucknow. And I believe he made a mistake that he left a family(home) event and left Sree ji (Sridevi) to come attend the summit."

"Maybe if we all had not gone to the summit and stayed there, and been attentive... not doing so was a mistake. I'm not blaming anyone,’’ he added.

He further said, "I have talked to Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Al Nahyan, he assured me that all formalities and reports are complete. Her mortal remains should reach India by midnight.’’
