Vinod Khanna in Hospital for Dehydration, Not Cancer

The veteran actor Vinod Khanna, who has appeared in over 140 films in Bollywood, was recently taken to Sir HN Reliance Foundation hospital due to serious health issues. After a series of rumours about him being hospitalized on March 31st due to cancer, his son, Rahul Khanna finally, came forward with a statement this week.

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,” Rahul said. The rumour mills started spinning when the emaciated picture of Vinod Khanna made the rounds on social media. Infact, there were also WhatsApp forwards being circulated that claimed the yesteryear star to have passed away.

Squashing all the rumours, an official from the hospital made a statement to the media saying, “He was admitted on Sunday, April 2, and not on Friday, March 31 (some reports came in that the veteran actor was hospitalised on Friday.) Also, the patient’s family members have asked us not to reveal more details, but there is definitely an improvement in Vinod Khannaji’s health.

Vinod Khanna will be seen in his upcoming movie 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 Vijaya Raje Scindia, the queen of Gwalior. The movie is yet to release but the trailer launch was conducted a few days back which Vinod couldn’t attend because of his ill health. Mr. Khanna is also a sitting MP from Gurdaspur. We wish him a speedy recovery and ask the rumour factories to check their facts before publishing.
