If Vinod Khanna were alive today, he would have been 71. In his heyday, he was the only solid contender to the lone ranger might of Amitabh Bachchan. Off screen, the two were great friends though. When Khanna renounced films in 1982 at the height of his popularity to join Osho’s Oregon ashram he proved that he was truly a seeker and a “sanyasi,” albeit a sexy one.
Veteran actor, Bollywood pin-up, sweetheart of the Seventies, gentleman politician, sexy sanyasi, spiritual seeker, the ultimate friend, star of a string of twin-hero hits with Amitabh Bachchan, doting dad to actors Akshaye and Rahul Khanna and Bollywood’s eternal Amar. It is hard to define who Vinod Khanna truly was.
