"Khanna, who was admitted to the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital breathed his last at 11.20 am due to advanced bladder carcinoma", the hospital said in a statement.
Recently, Sandeep Singh, who is producing Sanjay Dutt's comeback film Bhoomi, shared an interesting anecdote about the bond Sanju baba and also Vinod Khanna shared. "He carved a special place in the hearts of millions of Indians". His super star swag is what we grew up on. "RIP #VinodKhanna U will be missed". The veteran actor was felicitated with Filmfare award in the best supporting actor category for Haath Ki Safaai.
He is survived by former sons - Rahul and Akshaye (from his first marriage to Gitanjali), Sakshi, wife Kavita and daughter Shraddha.
In his long Bollywood career, he worked in more than 100 films, and was an active politician, and Member of Parliament from Gurdaspur, Punjab. He stood out in multi-hero films such as Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978), and Qurbani (1980), and was one of the highest paid actors of that time. After 5 years of Spiritual findings, Vinod Khanna came back to the industry. And then told the latter's father that Vinod should be acting in films. Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dilwale was his last big screen appearance. He was into his fourth term as MP from the seat.
Suspect in trooper shooting barricaded in house
Travers said a man then got out of his auto and proceeded to shoot the officer on the ground multiple times before running away. Police say a suspect is holed up in a house about 15 miles south of the shooting scene and has fired on officers there.
Khanna's contemporary Shatrughan Sinha described his death as a personal loss. He was at his peak of his career in the 70s and 80s but in 1982, Vinod left the cinema behind to follow the path of his guru Osho Rajneesh. We had adventures together. "A decent man and a star till the very end".
However, Khanna's Amar Akbar Anthony co-star and a close friend Rishi Kapoor was upset that no actor from the current generation turned up at the funeral to pay their last respects.
"Remembering the good times with you, Vinod".
