That was Feroz Khan's message to the late Sanjay Gandhi, in a monologue that rolls beforeu00a0Qurbani

"Shri Sanjay Gandhi, the prince, sleeps in peace. 33 years old and too young to die. Beloved mother, the honorable prime minister, the iron lady of our nation, humanity bows before you in this hour of your grief but unfortunately, life is a bubble and every day is a bonus.

We can only pray to God that he grants us this bonus and youth as long as Psrovidence and mortality permits to guide the destiny of our nation, which is synonymous with your being with us.

The nation and I salute the sleeping prince, his tormented family members, friends and critics... I dedicate my loyalty to loving memory of the prince who I never met but who I salute and hope to meet in judgment before the Almighty.
u00a0
Respected mother of our great nation with your kind permission I wish to dedicate the proceeds of the premiere in Bangalore and Delhi to memory of sleeping prince. Inshallah, may his soul rest in peace.

Until we meet again...

Feroz Khan's Qurbani (1980) started with a little monologue from Feroz Khan speaking about the then recently deceased Sanjay Gandhi.

Then, the director goes on to talk to his mother (Indira Gandhi) and consoles her at the demise of her young son. The speech ends with FK saying that he will reunite with the politician in heaven.
