Vinod Khanna R.I.P.


Here are a few pictures of the funeral of Vinod Khanna.

 
Vinod Khanna, one of Indian cinema’s most enigmatic actors, passed away earlier in the morning today (Thursday, 27 April, 2007) at the age of 70. He was suffering from advanced bladder cancer. The film fraternity came together to mourn his loss. As a mark of respect to the film legend, many rescheduled and even cancelled their important work commitments. Amitabh Bachchan reportedly rushed to Vinod Khanna’s family’s side after hearing the news of his death cancelling all his interviews that were lined up for his film Sarkar Raj. Karan Johar on his part cancelled his Baahubali 2 premiere as mark of respect. Vinod Khanna's last rites were held at the Worli crematorium in Mumbai from 4:30 PM onwards.
