Vinod Khanna Is In Stable Condition, Informs Hospital Staff

Veteran Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna, who was hospitalised last week due to severe dehydration, has responded positively to treatment and is stable, doctors treating him said on Thursday.

The actor “was admitted to Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital on Friday with severe dehydration. He is under the care of our doctors and has responded positively to the treatment and is now stable,” the hospital spokesperson said.

“His family thanks his well-wishers for the good wishes and requests to respect their privacy,” he added.

Vinod Khanna’s son Rahul told IANS on Tuesday: “Dad was hospitalised on Friday (March 31) for severe dehydration. The situation was quickly brought under control, he’s doing much better and the doctors are looking to discharge him soon.”

Rahul, who is also an actor, added “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”

Yesterday a photo of the actor from the hospital had gone viral and the veteran star looked weak and unrecognisable. The picture from the hospital room showed Vinod Khanna with wife Kavita (second wife). The 70-year old actor looked extremely weak and pale in the picture. The sudden transformation of the actor was terribly shocking. Soon, there were rumours of Vinod Khanna suffering from blood cancer doing the rounds on the internet.

The actor, who is a sitting Bharatiya Janata Party member of the Lok Sabha from the Gurdaspur constituency in Punjab, was admitted to Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre in Girgaon, Mumbai.

The 70-year-old actor has featured in films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Inkaar, Qurbani, Reshma Aur Shera among others.

He was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s directorial Dilwale in 2015, which also starred actors Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

We wish the veteran actor a speedy recovery.
