A large number of Bollywood personalities had attended the last rites of Vinod Khanna at the Worli Hindu Crematorium on April 27.
Born in Peshawar (now in Pakistan) in a business family, Vinod Khanna attended St. Mary's School in Mumbai and St. Xaviers High School and Delhi Public School in Delhi and later the Barnes School, Nashik. He graduated in B.Com from Mumbai's Sydenham College.
The Bollywood bug bit the young Khanna after watching the Dilip Kumar-Madhubala epic 'Mughal-E-Azam' and the Dev Anand-Waheeda Rehman-starrer 'Solva Saal'.
Initially, he started with small roles and grew to playing mostly villains opposite some of the biggest names of that era before seamlessly graduating to lead characters.
At the height of his career, Khanna suddenly took 'sanyas' in 1982 to become a disciple of Bhagwan Rajneesh, the founder of Osho, and lived in Pune for five years.
He returned to Bollywood in 1987 and simultaneously got into electoral politics.
He was appointed Minister of State for Culture and Tourism in July 2002 and later Minister of State for External Affairs in the government of then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Khanna was first elected from Gurdaspur in 1998. He was re-elected in 1999 and 2004. He lost narrowly in 2009 to Pratap Singh Bajwa (Congress).
He avenged his defeat in 2014 by winning from Gurdaspur for the fourth time.
Vinod Khanna remained popular in the constituency despite accusations that he remained absent from the area most of the time.
Various celebrities from the entertainments industry and politicians like Vasundhara Raje, Mamata Banerjee, Lata Mangeshkar, Rajinikanth, Shatrughan Sinha, Anil Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Mahesh Bhatt, S.S. Rajamouli, Anupam Kher, Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dixit-Nene paid tributes to Vinod Khanna over Twitter.
