The family of actor Inder Kumar today claimed that a video showing him consuming alcohol and speaking about wanting to commit suicide was a leaked scene from a film he was working on before his demise.

The video, which surfaced on social media yesterday evening, shows Kumar in an inebriated state feeling sorry about the way his life and career shaped up.

Kumar had died of a heart attack on July 28 last year, a month ahead of his 45th birthday.

Addressing a press conference here today, his wife, Pallavi Saraf, said, "It is not a real video. It is actually a scene from a film called 'Phatti Padi Hai Yaar' for which he had shot a year-and-half ago. It is sad that people are confusing the film scene with his real life."
