Veteran actor Vinod Khanna on Thursday passed away in a Mumbai hospital reportedly due to cancer. He was 70. Khanna was hospitalized after he complained of "severe dehydration" and was suffering from Bladder Cancer.
In his long Bollywood career, he worked in more than 100 films, and was an active politician, and Member of Parliament from Gurdaspur, Punjab.
Khanna was married twice and is survived by his four children: sons Akshaye, Rahul and Sakhsi and daughter Shraddha.
The actor who started off his career playing small second lead roles and negative roles, made it big as the main villain in Mera Gaon, Mera Desh. He was one of the few actors from that era who transitioned successfully from villain to hero.
The actor debuted in 1968 with 'Man Ka Meet' and is best remembered for his performance in films like 'Mere Apne', 'Mera Gaon Mera Desh', 'Imitihaan', 'Inkaar', 'Amar Akbar Anthony', 'Lahu ke Do Rang", "Qurbani", "Dayavaan" and "Jurm". He was last seen in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 2015 film "Dilwale".
