What! Members of a political party in Meghalaya mourn Vinod Khanna’s death

Veteran actor Vinod Khanna was hospitalised a few days ago. A picture of the actor from the hospital had gone viral on the social media and he looked totally unrecognisable. Then there were rumours that the actor has passed away which turned out to be completely untrue. However, thanks to the death hoax, members of a political party mourned the actor’s death.

ANI has tweeted the video in which we can see people observing a two-minute silence for Vinod Khanna. Check out their tweet here:

David Kharsati, secretary of the said party, told a leading daily, “We wrongly observed two-minute silence and we are extremely sorry about it. We wish Khanna a long life.”

“Two of our members watched TV and informed us about his demise and we believed it without verifying. We have issued a statement apologising for the grave mistake that we made. Please cooperate,” he added.

Well, the members of Khanna’s family have stated that the veteran actor was admitted to the hospital due to severe dehydration. However, there have been reports that he is suffering from cancer.
