Just a day back, news of Vinod Khanna being admitted to HN Reliance Foundation and Research Centre in Girgaon, Mumbai citing dehydration issues was in headlines. However, son Rahul Khanna instantly informed the media about the development in his health and clarified that there is no reason to worry.
He had said, “Dad was hospitalised on Friday for severe dehydration. The situation was quickly brought under control, he’s doing much better and the doctors are looking to discharge him soon. Our family is most grateful for the extraordinary care he’s been receiving at the hospital and we are touched by all the good wishes pouring in.”
And this morning, a picture of Vinod Khanna in the hospital started doing rounds of social media.

We are surprised to see Vinod Khanna in this state as he looks terribly weak and unrecognizable – the veteran has lost a lot of weight. Rumours are rife that the actor is probably suffering from cancer but there is no official confirmation on the same.

Vinod Khanna was last seen in Rohit Shetty's Dilwale alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Varun Sharma, Boman Irani, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, Pankaj Tripathi and Kabir Bedi. It’s surprising because the actor looked extremely fit in the film and was a lot healthier than what he is today.
Vinod Khanna will next be seen in Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi, in which he is portraying the role of the king of Gwalior, opposite Hema Malini who is playing the role of the queen of Gwalior.
Khanna was missing from the trailer launch event on April 2. No explanation was provided for his absence then but we now know that it was ill health that kept him away.
Here’s wishing a speedy recovery to the superstar.
