Mumbai, October 5 (IANS). Vinod Khanna was one of the selected stars of the Hindi cinema whose journey was very special and inspiring until he became a hero out of a negative role. He not only ruled the hearts of the audience with his brilliant performance, but also made a clear identity. Vinod Khanna started him as a villain in films, but his appearance and strong acting soon gave him the role of a hero. Vinod Khanna was born on October 6, 1946, in a Punjabi family in Peshawar (now Pakistan). During the division, the family later settled in India and settled in Mumbai. He has been interested in action since childhood. After completing his studies, he decided to make acting a career. Although his father was initially against it, he also agreed to see the daughter’s hard work and dedication and gave Vinod the opportunity to realize his dream. In 1968, Vinod Khanna achieved the first great success when he achieved the role of a villain in the movie ‘Man Ka Meet’. At the time, it was not easy to play a villain or a negative role in Hindi films, but Vinod made it his strength. Based on his brilliant appearance and expression, he also proved himself in a negative role. He then played the role of villain in many films and made his own place in the hearts of the audience. But it is also written to become a hero in his fate. Gradually, Vinod Khanna began to get the role of hero in films. In the film ‘Mere APNE’ of 1971, he was for the first time in the lead role, which led to a tremendous increase in his popularity. The film was so loved by the audience that Vinod Khanna confirmed his name as a hero. This was followed by many of his hit films, such as ‘Mera Village Mera Desh’, ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, ‘Qurbani’ and ‘Dayawan’. These films have shown that he is not only a villain, but also a great hero. Vinod Khanna’s special thing was that he never trapped himself in stars. He always won everyone’s hearts with his hard work and simplicity. He worked with veterans such as Amitabh Bachan, Rajesh Khanna and Sunil Dutt, but made his own identity. His mating in films like ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ and ‘Mukaddar Ka Sikander’ was the audience’s favorite at Amitabh Bachchan. His career was so spectacular that he was one of the highest fees of the industry in the 1980s. But during this period he made a big decision. In 1982 he moved to the shelter of his spiritual Guru Osho and distanced himself from films. Almost five years later, in 1987, he made a comeback with the film ‘insane’, and reigned again the hearts of the audience. Vinod Khanna received several awards for his actions. His performance was praised everywhere and the film world also honored him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. In addition, he was also active in politics and won the Lok Sabha election several times as a BJP leader. Vinod Khanna passed away on April 27, 2017. After a long battle with cancer, he said goodbye to the world, but even today his memories and the magic of his films remain in the hearts of the audience. -Ians PK/AS
