Rest in Peace. Great actor , arguably On par with amitabh bachchan in the late 70s early 80s before leaving the industry and spending several years in America with his spiritual guru .

 

[JaDed]

Wow sad, wasted few years in peak due to Osho. Died early would had probably ended up doing some more Salmn movies , sadly didn't experiment in the lter half of his career atleast was never in controversies.

 

[cricketjoshila]

RIP!!!!!

For those who dont know,Vinod Khanna was a Sitting MP and a 4 time MP.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

RIP. Was a great actor. Saw his viral picture in the hospital few days ago.

He was born in Peshawar, looks like bollywood is on its lasts legs regarding mohajirs in bollywod.Manoj and Dilip Kumar are probably the last ones remaining.

You're quite right JD .its an interesting fact that Some of the biggest names in Hindi cinema were born in what is now Pakistan, raj kapoor, Dilip kumar, Dev anand, raaj ,Rajendra and manoj kumar

Was Pakistani Punjab the epicentre of culture pre-independence in the western part of British India (that constitute present day Pakistan). Or is it a coincidence ?

Bollywood was/is about Punjabis/pathans and looks earlier on eventhough Dharmendra,Jeetendra are born on Indian Punjabi side they made it big.

But these were genuinely hard working people blessed with looks.

The creative side of the movies though belong to Bengalis /Marathis with their direction and script wrtting.Urdu writters had a huge rol to play as well but not from Pakistan side except Saheer Ludhianvi.W ho was born in Ludhiana and migrated to Pak but still came back probably coz of communism.

Yea man, that was so disturbing. I wonder what type of a disgraceful person leaked it to the media, that too when he was battling for his life.

 

[Madplayer]

I have never been this sad at the death of a bollywood actor. I was genuinely a fan of this guy. I saw that viral pic too and couldnt believe it was the same tall and well built vinod khanna who we had seen in movies. Very sad end to a legendary actor.

 

[Zak_Fan]

His picture a few days ago reminded me of my grandfather, who too passed away of cancer last year at the same age. It is sad what cancer does to people who always seemed invincible in their prime.

 

[troodon]

The original Macho man of Bollywood.

RIP

I saw my Grand father during his final days and he looked like a skeleton. In his younger days, he was a tall and well built man.

Old age and health issues suck the life out of a person.

I always wonder what must be going through the minds of really old people when they see themselves in the mirror. Hard to imagine.

The region that is part of Modern day Pakistan has its people traditionally blessed with good looks so its natural that many of the actors in Bollywood came from this part of the world.
Vinod Khanna was definitely the most handsome one from the ancient Pakistani crop.

 

[tomato]

Rip.

5 times BJP MP.

 

[PakLFC]

A very good looking man probably only second to the handsomer Shashi Kapoor at his peak in my opinion who originates from the same region. Was saddened to see a picture of him looking so ill some weeks back, at least he is not suffering anymore. I am not a major Bollywood fan but remember him in "Amar, Akber, Anthony", "Muqaddar ka Sikander" "The Burning Train" and "Qurbani" when my parents used to watch them. Thank you for entertaining us all, sir. I remember once he told Moin Akther "I have never forgotten my Pakistani roots".

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Rest in Peace.

Roshans are from Pakistan too.

 

[Zaz]

Very sad to hear He was on par with Big B in late 70s and early 80s and had a brilliant rugged on screen presence and looks

He made some memorable films like qurabani and AAA

RIP sir

 

[JaDed]

Yes but Roshan(grand father) is dead ,among existing personalities its Dilip and Manoj Kumar.

 

[Mian]

Very few know he did fundraising for Imran Khan's cancer Hospital with other bollywood stars like amitabh, dilip, rekha etc

Sad to see him die because of cancer.

Died on the same date as his close friend Feroz khan. Both had immense swag and looked like alphas on screen, not boys.

Unlike both of his sons,who still look like boys. From Dharmendra,Feroz,Vinod Khanna as alphas to Salman as alpha,height atleast has taken a toll.

Back then the Macho men really did look macho - Vinod Khanna, Feroz Khan, Bachchan and even Dharmendra.. Now we are left to the midget-sized Khans representing all masculinity in Bollywood and the future full of Khan wannabes - Varun Dhawan(Salman), Ranvir (SRK) ..

Sadly true,Vidyut Jamwal does have the looks of "alpha-male" but defn not the persona of one.

Think Telugu actors are doing somewhat ok in that,Prabhas does look pretty macho,also Rana Dugabbati and Mahesh Babu are pretty tall as well, no wonder Telugu cinema is roaring in rural areas across India.

 

[TM Riddle]

Wasn't Feroz Khan from Afghanistan or smth like that? Never seen someone with stronger personality than him on screen.
