Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he was disgusted when people around him clicked selfies as he attended the cremation of his friend.

The 72-year-old-actor posted on the social networking site Facebook that he was disappointed with the insensitivity of the people, who had no respect for the dead and the living.

"My dear friend passed away suddenly... was chatting and suddenly gone! Fragility of life... Went for the cremation to Delhi... at the cremation, people taking mobile pics and 'selfies'... disgusting!


"They have no respect for the dead and no respect for the living that come to pay their respects for the dead...," the cine icon wrote.
