The superstar said the recent suicides of students were "unfortunate" but it was not the first time a suicide had taken place.

"I am 67-years-old. I too faced ragging in school and college which was more than 45 years ago. A film was not made that time does not mean that there was no ragging in educational institutions. A film merely mirrors what happens in the society," he said.
