April 09, 2017 12:08

Some good news for Vinod Khanna fans.

The veteran actor, who was admitted to a hospital on March 31 due to severe dehydration, is better and responding positively to treatment, says a medical bulletin.

Since the time the actor's picture showing him in a bad shape went viral, rumours about his demise started doing the rounds on the social media.

Going a step further, the Bharatiya Janata Party in Meghalaya observed a two-minute silence on Saturday to pay respect to the actor.

However, the BJP later came up with a clarification stating that few of their members had seen the news of his demise on television and they believed it without verifying.

They also issued an apology for the same and said the actor is responding well to the treatment.

Khanna, a former BJP Lok Sabha member from Punjab's Gurdaspur district, was admitted to HN Reliance Foundation and Research Centre in Mumbai's Girgaum hospital.

From the past few days, a picture of the actor in the hospital went viral on the social media.

The 70-year-old-actor looked quite pale in the photo and his body transformation shocked everyone.
