Prime Minister Narendra Modi shares his condolence over Vinod Khanna’s demise

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today afternoon, took to Twitter to share his heartfelt condolence over veteran actor Vinod Khanna’s demise.

“Will always remember Vinod Khanna as a popular actor, dedicated leader & a wonderful human. Pained by his demise. My condolences,” he wrote.

Today morning at 11:20 am, Vinod Khanna passed away after he suffered from gallbladder cancer for a long time. He is survived by wife Kavita Khanna and four children.

Not very long back, pictures of an extremely pale and ailing Khanna had broken the internet. He looked shockingly sick and we were almost astonished at his health. It was then that rumours of he suffering cancer started doing the rounds.

However, Khanna’s family remained tight-lipped on his ailment and instead claimed he was suffering from heavy dehydration. However, today, after his death, the hospital authority has confirmed cancer as the reason of his death.

Khanna was a member of the parliament and represented Bhartiya Janta Party from Gurdaspur constituency. Both the political and the film fraternities are mourning his demise.
