Sharing the incident with the portal, Sukaina said, “After my mother’s funeral, it was time to pay the cemetery. In an absolute hurry, my husband and I forgot to keep the money. The car and driver were also not nearby. Then suddenly, I checked my purse and found three thousand rupees. Coincidentally, that money belonged to mom. She had given it for some work before the lockdown. She was so self-sufficient that she also gave the money for her coffin before passing away.”

Further commenting how Saroj Khan never used to bargain with the poor, Sukaina added, “Whenever mom used to come home, she used to bring fruits. Once she went to get fruits herself and was charged more than its worth. I asked her driver that mom used to get fruits from here, to this he replied, yes and revealed she never bargained. I then asked mom that the fruit seller takes more money, why don’t you negotiate, to which she said, ‘He is poor. The poor should never lose money; he also has to run a family. If he does not rob me, whom will he rob?’”
