ABOUT Vinod Khanna

Vinod Khanna: A Life in Film and Politics Vinod Khanna (1946-2017), a prominent figure in Indian cinema and politics, left an indelible mark on both spheres. His career spanned decades, showcasing his versatility as an actor and his commitment to public service. Initially gaining recognition for his roles as an "angry young man" in films like Mere Apne and as a compelling antagonist in Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Khanna's breakthrough came with the crime drama Achanak, based on the Nanavati case. This established him as a formidable presence on screen. He achieved widespread popularity, earning two Filmfare Awards and becoming a style icon, often dubbed the "Sexy Sanyasi" for his blend of rugged charm and spiritual leanings. At the height of his career in 1982, Khanna took a five-year sabbatical to pursue spiritual enlightenment under Osho Rajneesh. His return to acting saw him embrace character roles, notably portraying fathers in successful films such as Wanted, Dabangg, and Dabangg 2. This marked a transition to mature, nuanced performances that resonated with audiences. Beyond his film career, Khanna served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Gurdaspur (1998-2009, 2014-2017) and held ministerial positions in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, including Minister for Culture and Tourism and Minister of State for External Affairs. Posthumously, he was awarded the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2018, India's highest cinematic honour, a fitting tribute to his enduring contribution to Indian cinema. His legacy encompasses not only his iconic screen presence, but also his significant political career.
