Bollywood icon Vinod Khanna not only captivated audiences with his heroic on-screen persona but also with his impeccable style both on and off-screen. His son, Rahul Khanna, has inherited this distinctive fashion sense and continues to carry his father’s legacy, captivating fans with his own presence and style.
In a conversation with ANI, Rahul shared how his late father’s unique stylistic perspective has inspired him. “Even just looking back at his films, he had a very strong stylistic point of view. And I remember when he used to dress when we were kids. He was always very into clothes and accessories and styles. I think that sort of maybe filtered down to me,” Rahul reflected.
The Bollywood industry suffered a great loss when Vinod Khanna passed away on April 27, 2017.
